Critical Role
2x87 Punishment and Politics [1st half]
This is the first time Matt has a "how do I want to do this?" Not actually the first time he's sort of said it to himself (that was 28 episodes ago; clip here), but back then the others sort of just treated it as comical that an NPC had dealt the killing blow, whereas this time they make a big deal of Matt achieving it and saying the catchphrase to himself (clip here).

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
Seven additions this week (including two upgrades from BD to 4K, one of which doesn't replace my existing copy). Last week I said there should be seven, as a remainder from the 12 I mentioned the week before (after five of them arrived last time) — and, clearly, there are... but there shouldn't be! I'd confused myself with my own maths: an additional title turned up last week, and two due this week were delayed, so that would make 13 total with two still outstanding; but then something else turned up this week, and it's back up to seven, with two outstanding, for that 12 to now be a 14.
Not that it really matters or anyone cares.
Number of titles in collection: 3,480 [up 6]
Of which DVDs: 989 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,491 [up 6]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 436 [up 2]
Number of discs in collection: 8,382 [up 10]
Number of films: 4,414 [up 9]
Number of additional cuts: 439 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 9,858 [up 2]
Number of short films: 1,224 [up 4]
Combined with the 18 titles that arrived before the 12/13/14 fiasco, it's been a fairly hefty month — and it's time to look at that in totality, courtesy of the monthly running time update...
Total running time of collection (approx.):
587 days, 14 hours, and 47 minutes.
(Up 2 days, 20 hours, and 36 minutes from last month.)
See you next week, faithful reader.
