Meetup #41: The Doctor and the Deep Blue Sea

NOTE: Meetup is SUNDAY this month!

Apparently, there has been a war between the land and the sea, but it's too intense for us Americans to handle I guess? While we wait for Disney to do whatever it's gonna do, let's take our own journey under, over, and around the sea with the Doctor and his hardy companions. Choose from one of these water-logged adventures...

The Underwater Menace - The Second Doctor, Ben, Polly, and Jamie arrive on the seacoast and immediately get kidnapped by Atlanteans (like you do). Taken to the lost city of Atlantis, they become embroiled in the schemes of the mad Professor Zaroff, who can - we are reliably informed - be stopped by nuzzink in ze vorld! [This story has 2 live action episodes and 2 animated episodes.]

Warriors of the Deep - The 5th Doctor, Tegan, and Turlough arrive in the distant future to find Earth split into warring factions poised to annihilate each other with atomic weapons. Like that could ever happen. As if tensions could not get any worse, the Silurians and Sea Devils have once again awoken from their long hibernation - and they are super cranky about it.

Under the Lake/After the Flood - The 12th Doctor and Clara also arrive at an underwater base, but fortunately there are no Silurians or Sea Devils - just ghosts trying to murder them. Phew.

Curse of the Black Spot/Legend of the Sea Devils - The 11th Doctor, Amy, and Rory arrive on a pirate ship where even the slightest sign of illness or injury leads to apparent death... or does it? Then, the 13th Doctor, Yaz, and Dan swashbuckle their way through an adventure with the legendary Madame Ching and a fashionably dressed Sea Devil.

When you RSVP, please rank the four options above in the comments in the order of preference (1 being "Yes! I am dying 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!
