Doctor Who
40x0B Wild Blue Yonder [60th anniversary special #2]
Some fans are disappointed about the lack of cameos or overt anniversary-ness in these specials, which is not a wholly invalid complaint (when the benchmark is the likes of The Three Doctors, The Five Doctors, and The Day of the Doctor) — but, as a counterargument, it's also a celebration of the series to showcase the crazy, original, one-off kinda things it can do.

Leverage
5x15 The Long Good-bye Job [series finale]
A bit underwhelming as a last-ever episode, to be honest. Good thing the series has been revived, then. I'll move on to that at some point; although it's taken three years to gradually make my way through the five seasons of the original, so I don't feel a huge rush.

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
There was almost some funny goings on with the numbering this week — totals going down even as new titles poured in — but, eventually, enough new stuff turned up to tip the tide, and now everything just goes up. Except for DVDs. Poor old DVDs.
The biggest culprit was the new remastered Blu-ray box set of Doctor Who series 1-4 + specials, which replaces my Steelbook copies of series 1-4... but not the specials, because the new set leaves out a whole disc from the old set. So close to being a perfect re-release, argh! On the bright side, those Steelbooks go for a small fortune, so I should make some decent money back when I get round to selling them. (Unless their value now drops...) But anyway, as that new set worked out as one Blu-ray replacing four Blu-rays, but still adding to other totals (like disc and TV episode counts), you can perhaps see where things got muddly.
Then, I bought four things on UHD during the Black Friday sales, including a BD-to-4K upgrade and a DVD-to-4K upgrade. Again, various numbers going up and down all over the place. But throw in two titles from Eureka that turned up slighty ahead of their official release dates, and overall everything goes up. Except, as I said, for poor old DVDs.
Number of titles in collection: 3,200 [up 1]
Of which DVDs: 1,020 [down 1]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,180 [up 2]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 315 [up 4]
Number of discs in collection: 7,811 [up 10]
Number of films: 3,936 [up 4]
Number of additional cuts: 349 [up 2]
Number of TV episodes: 9,665 [up 5]
Number of short films: 1,101 [no change]
And all of that occured just in time for the latest monthly running time update...
Total running time of collection (approx.):
551 days, 11 hours, and 5 minutes.
(Up 2 days, 1 hour, and 10 minutes from last month.)
See you next week, faithful reader.
