Wow! What a great selection of clips! Awesome job! Thank you, what a treat! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

You can understand why Dan Curtis used theatre actors every time I see this scene.

funny how many injection julia gave barnabas before trying to cure him and failed and dr lang gave him one injection and cured him. maybe julia wasn't the best in her field after all. lol

Now, why would them writers want to "cure" Barney? He wuz the whole show! If ye "cure" him, ye got no show. A better storyline woulda been ta have ole Barney bit by the Werewolf so's he becomes a vampire/werewolf combo. Boy, imagine the mangled death that could have generated.

I think it's quite possible that we've got an opening for The Valeyard if it's done right. Like what if with the 12's regen into 13 there was a split. What if Ruth thought she was a past doctor but was actually the split. Maybe we're following the true good Doctor, or we're following the darker version that becomes the Valeyard. There are possibilites there.

I think the vale yard isn’t quite a regeneration, I think he’s a spirit. He constantly talked about unshackleing himself from the doctor, I think his dark nature escaped him in the large final regeneration of 11, creating the vale yard as a partial ghost like entity who can’t regenerate until he kills the doctor

Barnabas didn't know that Dr. Lang had cured him, he thought 🤔 it was 4:00 a m. and was anxious to get back to his coffin ⚰️. Once he realized it 4:00 p.m. and he saw daylight he was overcome with joy 😊. The life life force of Adam is what blocked Angelique from putting another curse on him.

cool, barnabus is mortal again!

"We did it by chance; but fortunately, we know what we did!" Ah, science! I love how clear and detailed his explanation was!

I for one didn't want Barnabas to be cured !. Preferred him as a vampire

Jonathan Frid,s performance is one of the most worthwhile in science fiction history a great moment for television here's to Jonathan Frid a great performance thank you for repeating one of the greatest moments in the history of dark shadows!

Funny thing if you watch the previous episode which ends with Dr Lang pulling the curtain and saying it's 4:00 in the afternoon Jonathan Fred is wearing a completely different robe and pajamas.

What a fantastic scene!

I think the writers unintentionally handed themselves their own saving grace by having The Master say that it was an amalgamation of the Doctor's darker hues from between his 12th and final incarnations. Final incarnation could mean any incarnation past 10's vanity regeneration. The Valeyard could still show up at any point.

When you catch this episode on the decades channel, shortly after 1795 concludes, it means they are about to re-run the first appearance of Barnabus.

What if the doctor is the master. And thats the valyard

Does anyone see the resemblance between Jonathon as Barnabas and Christian Bale as Dr Bury. Same haircut!

in the first grade I could not wait to get home to see this show .

The value yard is the dream Lord

Bueno barnavas Collins es bampiro por lo tanto duerme de día en el sarcófago no puede ver la luz y sale de noche y se alimenta de la sangre de la jente que llega al castillo de los collins

The Valeyard is still -after all this time - my all-time favourite Dr. Who enemy... and I would love to see him make an appearance in the RTD2 era!

I’d like to see a future incarnation enter into a villain arc, which would eventually lead into him becoming the Valeyard.

Barnabas not only recovers his life but also his dignity as a human being. He was a noble man before the arrival of the maid Angelica. 👏👏👏 Nice series.

I Remember this Scene Very Powerful to see Barnabus Reclaim his Humanity

Theory (and Spoilers for Timeless Child arc): We've learned that the doctor had previous forgotten regenerations of an unknown number. What if the Valeyard was one of those regenerations? Just an idea. Or the Master was just lying for a bit of chaos.

Me too ….free.free.

The best moment ever.. How incredible.. I wish there was a real Dr. Lang.. This is always my all time favorite storyline!

Maybe somehow the Doctor capped his original cycle of regenerations at 12 deliberately to stop the Valeyard from happening?

My headcannon says the Valeyard is a negative watcher from a timeline where Capaldi's Doctor chose not to regenerate following the events of The Doctor Falls

I really and honestly prefer the Valeyard as a villain to the Master the Valeyard is a billions of times more interesting Villain than the Master an dI wish JNT had retired the Master in Planet of Fire

I bet my money Valeyard would be the savior of doctor who series.

Had the day off but missed the episode because of the MLK funeral. Millions must have missed it because of the TV coverage of that event.

I watched and loved Dark Shadows for years, (especially Barnabas) but never saw this scene. I was one of many young teens who saw Jonathan at the Devon horse show. I was in the crowd when someone pushed me and I had been pushed into Jonathan. He was surrounded by hundreds and immediately rushed away.

A superb actor Jonathan Frid was 😲😲😊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍

He (Barnabas) was redeemed went from being an evil person to a good man. Not unlike Willie Loomis who started out as a bar fighting woman molester who Barnabas turned into his cowardly bitch for awhile and finally became kind of a hero at the end the series as God shows us redemption is always possible

Can you imagine how far away the 12th regeneration was at the time the valeyard first appeared?

Jonathan Frid came to our college and did a Shakespeare workshop and closed his visit with a one-man show. What a brilliant and lovely man. He invited the audience on the stage, and we made a circle around him as he performed "The Tell-tale Heart." A thunderstorm blew up, and it was eerie, to say the least.

The Valyard looks so sad and haunted when the master reveals he's the Doctor and 6 looks at him. I wonder what happens to make him become that.

by the looks of this scene Rodger visiting Barnabas in rehab. Being completely cured of his alcoholism just once again feel comfortable with himself.. that's the feeling I get watching this great scene

If the valeyard is a main villain meant to arise and destroy the Doctor between incarnations 12 and 13. Then his identity is obvious. Mr Chibnall

“Somewhere between your 12th and 13th incarnations” Tells me the time lords aren’t certain on the details….. not a plot hole.

I like how deluded peoe can be , when it was THE doctor David Tennant he was only making a statement of (timelord victorious) because he's a timelord and on that day as well as many other's he was victorious, hence the phrase he said (timelord victorious) . But a few years on they assumed and thought it was a hidden message for something and so only after so many believed it they then had to make an episode about it

I'm so happy they are current airing reruns of DS. Right now they're airing the storyline when Dr Woodard was killed.

Was Capaldi in Hell Bent veering towards the Valeyard?

There was a reference to the Valyard again with Peter Capaldi, the Xmas special where the first doctor is being shown by the Witness (glass lady) all the incarnations of the doctor. She said the valyard too, I'm almost positive.

according to dr lang as long as adam lives barabas would be free from his curse but if adam died barnabas would be as he was before well adam didn't die and the leviathins turned him back in to a vampire any way interesting isn't it

Suck it Angelique!!

I remember attending a DS C onvention in a hotel room in Manhattan, where I believe it was Roger Davis, whom stated that the actor whom played Dr. Lang, whose name presently escapes me, had such trouble remembering his lines, that he had to write them on his sleeves to help him remember them! Allthough, he was a nice guy! May he RIP!

I believe after Adam was made....He also saved Barnabas. If Adam died....so did he.

I'm surprised no one has ever said The Eleventh Doctor himself could be The Valeyard. Here me out, he traveled 200 years alone in series 6. The Doctor didn't give a shit about rewriting time in A Christmas Carol. He believed that time can be rewritten. After he learned about his death in Let's Kill Hitler and he knows shit's got real because there are no more regenerations left. Between The God Complex and Closing he traveled alone and denied his real death. So he ran into Gallifrey and tried to steal his regenerations from The Sixth Doctor. But failed. And somehow he escaped and realized he can't prevent his death. But he found a way without altering a timeline. There are more evidences: - The Doctor became so violent in A Good Man Goes To War. - The Great Intelligence referred The Valeyard in a past tense. - The Doctor's acceptance of his death came out of nowhere. - The Dream Lord was a sign of The Eleventh Doctor is The Valeyard.
