Meetup 46: Doctor Hiatus

NOTE: Meetup is SATURDAY this month! We're back! Hope everyone had a nice and restful summer and survived the heat, humidity, and occasional Formula One race. It was a long wait between Meetups, but given the current state of our beloved show we should probably get used to it. So let's get some tips on long waits from the good Doctor... The Daleks (In Color) - The First Doctor\, Barbara\, Ian\, and Susan encounter the Daleks\, descendants of survivors of a devastating nuclear war waiting centuries to emerge from the refuge of their city. But wouldn't you know it\, a buncha farmers are out there waiting for them. [This is the re-edited\, colorized version produced by the BBC.] State of Decay - The Fourth Doctor, Romana, and a stowaway Adric arrive on a planet ruled by three vampires who have been oppressing the peasants as they wait for centuries for the Great One to awake. The Mysterious Planet - The 6th Doctor is put on trial and presented with evidence of his supposed crimes by the mysterious Valeyard. The story itself is less about a hiatus, but it is the first story to air after a real world series hiatus in the 1980s. Heaven Sent/Hell Bent - The 12th Doctor checks out for a few billion years to work through his grief at the loss of Clara before taking it all out on the Time Lords. When you RSVP, please rank the four options above in the comments in the order of preference (1 being "Yes! I desperately want to see it!" and 4 being "Meh."), and we will abide by the choice of the attendees. For the Meetup itself, we ask everyone to bring something to drink and something to eat (snacks/munchies - you don't need to bring a whole ham or something!) to share with the group. We'll have food and drink as well and maybe a themed cocktail if the inspiration strikes... We are a couple blocks from the Columbia Heights Metro (15th and Harvard NW). We'll provide the full address ahead of the event. Note also that we are a walk-up - two flights of stairs. Looking forward to seeing everyone!
