TV

Doctor Who
3x03 Air Lock
aka Galaxy 4 Part 3. This is the one episode of the serial that survives, but I'm still watching the animated version for consistency.

Fiction

The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman
Chapters 54–66

Games

The Dragon Staff of Maladoria
16–22 January 2021

Well, playing this in chunks definitely paid off today: January 16th through 22nd are just character introductions and stat sheets, so you can pick your hero. According to the developers on the game's forum, spending a whole week introducing the characters "was meant to be an experience in reading each of their bio's and learning more about the world [but] it inevitably slows down the story." Yeah... So, that's why I've broken my own pacing rules (today should have ended on the 20th) and read ahead a couple of days, so as to cover all the intros in one. This only adjusts my catchup pace slightly: playing five days tomorrow will just get me on track a day earlier than initially intended.
