Doctor Who
10x14 Frontier in Space Episode Six
10x15 Planet of the Daleks Episode One [2nd watch]
Although I was watching Frontier in Space because it's retroactively been dubbed part of a "trilogy" (along with Season 8's Colony in Space, which I watched earlier this month, and Big Finish audio drama Revolution in Space, which I'm going to listen to soon), Frontier actually leads directly into the following serial, Planet of the Daleks. I have seen that one before (I was less fussy about such continuity matters when I was a kid), but it seems sort of weird to skip it now (because I'm more fussy about such continuity matters as an adult). Kind of breaks up the "trilogy" vibe (especially as other commitments mean I'll have to take some time off between finishing Planet and starting Revolution), but I'm sure I'll live.

1x01 Taliesin Jaffe
They've been pushing this interview series for weeks on Crit Role and Talks (probably not weeks my time... although it's a seven-episode first season, so maybe), and I eventually gave in and watched it, and it is rather good. I get why they removed all BWF-starring content from their official channels, but it is a shame when stuff like this was so insightful. Anyway, definitely going to watch the rest of the episodes about the Crit Role cast, but not sure I care enough about any of the people interviewed in seasons two and three to bother with those.

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
This week: those Australian titles finally turn up; all being Blu-ray upgrades that don't replace their existing copies, for one reason or another. Then there were two new releases — one from this week, one from next week, both preordered via HMV. Are HMV inconsistent, or are Royal Mail? Who knows! Finally, DVDs go up by one, thanks to a CD box set with a DVD of behind-the-scenes extras. Fun times.
Number of titles in collection: 3,319 [up 6]
Of which DVDs: 1,003 [up 1]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,316 [up 5]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 366 [up 2]
Number of discs in collection: 8,026 [up 15]
Number of films: 4,090 [up 6]
Number of additional cuts: 391 [up 2]
Number of TV episodes: 9,742 [up 22]
Number of short films: 1,148 [no change]
Speaking of "fun times", it's also time for the monthly running time update...
Total running time of collection (approx.):
564 days, 2 hours, and 28 minutes.
(Up 2 days, 4 hours, and 47 minutes from last month.)
See you next week, faithful reader.
