Critical Role
2x98 Dark Waters [2nd half's 1st half]
I use "half" with CR episodes for convenient shorthand — what I mean, broadly, is either side of the ad break — but the "halves" are rarely equal. This is a particularly egregious example of that, in an unusual direction: normally the first 'half' is longer, but this time the first 'half' was about 90 minutes and the second is about 3 hours. I watched about half of that 'half' today, so... yeah...

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
I hadn't expected this week to be so jam-packed — just a few pre-orders — but then sales cropped up and, well, I got a little carried away. The fact many of these are box sets has just made it feel like an even bigger week, especially on the back of multiple other larger sets recently.
Of note amongst this batch: the DVD that was gained last week goes back down, and takes another with it for good measure; and look how many additions are 4K again! They may only account for 13% of my collection vs regular Blu-ray at almost 59%, but I feel like they're beginning to consistently outnumber regular BDs as new purchases. The artsier boutique labels continue to keep 1080p well fuelled, though.
Number of titles in collection: 3,512 [up 11]
Of which DVDs: 985 [down 2]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,527 [up 13]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 458 [up 8]
Number of discs in collection: 8,489 [up 23]
Number of films: 4,462 [up 20]
Number of additional cuts: 440 [up 1]
Number of TV episodes: 10,101 [no change]
Number of short films: 1,227 [up 2]
See you next week, faithful reader.
