Doctor Who, part 3

(part 1; part 2)

After looking over the results of the scheduling survey, I've decided to hold further rewatches on Mondays at 01:30 UTC.

(Some relevant translations:
Eastern Canada/US: Sundays at 9:30 PM
Central Australia: Mondays at 11 AM)

To simplify matters slightly (or at least spread out the complexity more evenly), we will *not* be observing Daylight Savings Time. This way each person is running no more than one correction layer on their timezone-conversion mental widget at any given time: otherwise you get weird shit like [double-DST in Australia, which doesn't even kick in all at once]. The converted times given above are valid for this week: please keep an eye out for timekeeping changes in your area, and adjust accordingly.

In other simplification news, a stream of the episode will be available via Twitch. (After an hour of troubleshooting I couldn't even get Discord to successfully *launch* on Windows, let alone get screen-sharing to work. Meanwhile, Twitch took maybe 10 - 15 minutes and didn't require switching operating systems.) Please continue to use the Discord for chatting, *not* the Twitch chat.

This week, we will be starting over at "Rose" to give other people a chance to join in. Future rewatches will proceed at the pace of one episode per week (even when that means watching half of a two-parter); additional rewatches (such as to catch up on one you missed) may be possible upon request.

Hope to see you there!
