Two pretty great episodes, giving specific focus to two members of the team (the episode titles make it clear which), and one absolute travesty. (IMDb ratings say there's a season five episode that's even worse, so that'll be interesting.)

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
This week, two titles from 88 Films (one an early arrival for a new release) and two titles from Radiance (both sale pickups — I ought to resist buying their stuff until sales, it's a good saving... but other stuff they've released has sold out long before reaching the sale point, so it's a risk).
Number of titles in collection: 3,304 [up 4]
Of which DVDs: 1,002 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,302 [up 4]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 356 [up 1]
Number of discs in collection: 7,996 [up 5]
Number of films: 4,073 [up 4]
Number of additional cuts: 387 [up 1]
Number of TV episodes: 9,720 [no change]
Number of short films: 1,146 [up 1]
It's also time once again for the monthly running time update...
Total running time of collection (approx.):
561 days, 21 hours, and 41 minutes.
(Up 1 day, 11 hours, and 39 minutes from last month.)
See you next week, faithful reader.

Doctor Who
Real Time Episode Five
Real Time Episode Six [finale]
Abandoned my previous pace just to get it over with a double-bill. I did enjoy the second half of the serial more than the first — there are some neat concepts, even if I felt they were poorly utilised — but, overall, it wasn't worth the two-decade wait. And it ends on a cliffhanger that will never be resolved! (Because the actress died. Obviously they could continue it in a novel or something, but, well, they haven't in the past 22 years, so I doubt they will now.)
Oh well, at least I've ticked off another piece of Doctor Who apocrypha (the fact it has some form of visuals makes it sort of a proper story, right? But it didn't occur in chronological order (jumping back to the Sixth Doctor) and was only a webcast, so it's also sort of... not 'real' Who, right? Hence "apocrypha". Maybe not quite the correct word, but it's the closest I can think of right now).

The Indian Chief and the Seidlitz Powder (1901)
Possibly the first British Western. It's also a comedy short — read the accompanying notes on the BFI's (free) streaming copy otherwise you probably won't get the 120-year-old topical humour. Other than that... it's still not very good.

Doctor Who
Real Time Episode Four
Credit where it's due, this episode has a decent twist/cliffhanger, which I didn't see coming and is also quite a neat concept. Unfortunately, I have no faith it'll do anything interesting with that in the remaining two episodes, considering the rest of the writing continues to be lacklustre. For example: this episode contains two scenes clearly designed to give the Doctor and Evelyn big grandstanding speeches that define them as characters and/or the Cybermen — similar to the Fifth Doctor's famous speech in Earthshock, for example — but neither really lands, meandering on and around the point rather than succinctly nailing it.
For All Mankind
2x01 Every Little Thing
Finally got another free month of Apple TV+ from somewhere, so trying to make sure I get some use out of it — picking back up this excellent series (which I'm now three whole seasons behind on) seemed a good idea for that. It begins with a timejump, and I also watched the 20-or-so minutes of news featurettes they produced to help bridge the in-world gap since the season one finale.
X-Men
2x06 X-Ternally Yours [2nd watch]

2x30 The Journey Home [1st half]
Laura and Travis return after a break of seven weeks... or six days, at my current pace. (Also, random bit of maths: crazy to think that if Critical Role were a regular hour-long US network show, I'd be about 156 episodes in now. That's longer than the entirety of Buffy, for example.)

Critical Role
2x28 Within the Nest [2nd half]
2x29 The Stalking Nightmare
I was somewhat trepidatious heading into this run of episodes — with three of the (excellent) regular cast gone and a parade of guest stars in the offing, would it be below-par filler, treading water until the 'real' heroes returned? As things turned out, quite the opposite — not just major, game-changing plot turns (thanks, rolls of the dice!), but interesting locales, exciting combats, memorable NPCs, and some brilliant guest stars (Sumalee Montano clearly received a lot of love from the fanbase, and rightly so, but Ashly Burch is fantastic too).
I'd probably still say Midnight Espionage is the best individual episode of Critical Role I've seen so far (as a game, there's an element of luck about what events occur and plot points appear within one episode, and that one landed so many great bits), but the six-episode run from The Hour of Honor to The Stalking Nightmare is probably my favourite extended arc (or two, really) so far. Phenomenal.

Doctor Who
Real Time Episode One
Back in the early '00s — after Big Finish had taken off but before the TV revival was announced — BBCi (as it then was) produced several Doctor Who webcasts, which started out as “audio dramas with accompanying illustrations” and gradually progressed to “fully animated” (before the revival was announced and put a stop to all that). This was the second, following Death Comes to Time earlier in 2002 and preceding the 8th Doctor Shada and Scream of the Shalka in 2003 — crazy, with hindsight, that all of that took place in just two years. Even crazier that it’s taken me over 20 years to get round to listening to it. (These were 20 years ago! Time really does fly.) The original official webcast links are dead, but you can buy it on CD from Big Finish (audio only, obv), or do as I'm doing and watch it on YouTube.
Also, for what it's worth, although originally released in six parts, each one only runs 11–17 minutes, with the average being 15, meaning the whole story has the same running time as a Season 22 two-parter. Watching it in two halves would truly emulate that, then, but I've stuck with the original broadcast length because... well, it's like most of Season 22 in another way: it's not very good. I'm not even talking about the basic Flash animation, but the frequently clunky dialogue, line readings that consistently sound off (despite the writer and director being the same person), and a general insipid pace and structure. Maybe it will pick up. Maybe only having to experience it in short bursts will be a blessing.

2x26 Found & Lost
Man, Critical Role was just continuously knocking it out of the park at this point, particularly with how episodes ended. Even though this was one of their longest episodes yet (representing 6½ hours of viewing between it and Talks; then even more time because I rewind/rewatch some moments to see more reactions, and quite thoroughly peruse the YouTube comment section — it took me basically all afternoon and early evening), I still just want to watch Talks to hear what they have to say, then go straight on to the next episode to find out what happens. I may just spend tomorrow on the show, too...

#74 'Found & Lost'
Such a shame they've wiped this show from official channels (even if it's understandable why) because there can be some great insights here (as well as a lot of fun, silly frolics). Sometimes the quality depends on whether there's a good lineup of guests ("good" possibly defined by who your personal favourites are), but they've often got the people most relevant to the episode under discussion — this episode, in particular, has the perfect lineup in that regard.

2x25 Divergent Paths [2nd half]
I thought this episode might be a bit of a bust at the start — with Travis and Laura absent, Liam limited on a screen, and several of the present cast clearly tired from an emotional day IRL, struggling to play as the absent characters — but after a bumpy start, it picked up, and even delivered a particularly emotional climax with the exit of Kiri. How do they keep doing that?! "Thank you, Matt, for making this game work with half of a crew."

LEGO Dungeons & Dragons Game Night
This three-hour actual-play special was produced to promote the LEGO Dungeons & Dragons set and released two months ago. I've been meaning to watch it since it came out, but I've (obviously) been spending time on Crit Role instead — but as I've been watching so much of that the last couple of days, I thought it was finally time to make room for this. It's a lot of fun, and watching Ginny Di's behind-the-scenes video made me super envious.

And nothing's arrived or been purchased in the last couple of days, so the numbers are the same as they would've been on Saturday anyway. All new releases, and all arrived early — so they kinda belong in this week anyway.
Lots of box sets this week, one way or another — as you can see, only five new titles but 15 new films. That's two series box sets (the Whistler from Indicator and Shinobi from Radiance) and a two-part film (Trenque Lauquen); plus part two only of a two-part film (Dune), and one other release with multiple cuts (Planet of the Vampires). Fun times.
Number of titles in collection: 3,297 [up 5]
Of which DVDs: 1,002 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,295 [up 5]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 353 [up 1]
Number of discs in collection: 7,986 [up 11]
Number of films: 4,067 [up 15]
Number of additional cuts: 386 [up 1]
Number of TV episodes: 9,716 [no change]

As D&D booms, Critical Role makes its own kind of nerd celebrity
by Sarah Parvini (from The Washington Post)
Me, mentioning something to do with Critical Role?! Well, wonders will never cease! But seriously, if you were interested in a sort of "state of the nation" about where CR is right now, coupled with sufficient background detail to keep the unfamiliar up to speed — i.e. a good all-round introduction for right now — this seems a good place to start.

When I mentioned the other day about passing 100 hours of Crit Role "depending how you define it", today is the kind of thing I was referring to: as well as the above, I watched about two hours of stuff relating to their Kickstarter from five years ago, which led me to an hour-or-so con panel from last year, which led to me watching huge chunks of a significant episode from Campaign 1 — which was so good, it's solidified the idea I should probably go back and watch that properly at some point.

2x20 Labenda Awaits [1st half]
Thus far I've been linking to episodes on YouTube because that's the only place to watch the first 19 episodes of Campaign 2; but from here on, episodes are also available on Twitch or Beacon. YouTube is the only platform where you can watch the episodes free, but with ads, so the other two are worth mentioning because, depending how you want to do things, their ad-free options might be better. For example, you can pay for YouTube Premium to get ad-free viewing there, but if you have Amazon Prime you can subscribe to a Twitch channel for free — which I do, so I've subscribed to the CR Twitch channel and intend to watch episodes there going forward.

Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
Number of titles in collection: 3,292 [up 4]

Number of TV episodes: 9,716 [no change]
Number of short films: 1,142 [up 5]
Having weirdly gone down last month (despite my collection only ever getting bigger), what will the runnng time count do this time?
Total running time of collection (approx.):
560 days, 10 hours, and 2 minutes.
(Up 7 days, 3 hours, and 23 minutes from last month.)
Well, that's quite an increase — my last yearly increase was in the 24-day ballpark, so this represents almost a third of that — for one fairly regular month? Suggests I did do something wrong last month to make the total go down. Oh well, hopefully all is on track now...

(Ironically, one of my motivations is I feel I should finish this before I start the Critical Role animated series. Ha ha ha, I’m obsessed.)

"We're maybe a sixth of the way into this story," says Liam. Little did they know... it's actually more like an eighth. (Considering they had no way of knowing exactly how long Campaign 2 would last, it's actually not too bad a guess. I presumed he pulled the figure out of thin air, but he may have been basing it on Campaign 1: that ran 115 episodes, so on that scale, 18 eps would indeed be about one-sixth.)

Space Babies is adequate; very much in the vein of lightweight nothing-y stories that RTD tosses out when there’s something else more important going on in the episode (here: introducing the show to new viewers). What I expected it to be, basically, but it had its moments. The Devil’s Chord was a lot more fun. Not perfect, but buzzing with fresh ideas; a sense of experimentation. Promising for what's to come.

Chapters 20–23 [the end]
Found this quite tricky to get into at first, with a lot of complex concepts flung around and abbreviations I had no reference for casually dropped in; and that kind of thing does continue to rear its ugly head throughout; but, overall, an entertaining and relatively brisk thriller.

Today, Critical Role announced their own membership/streaming service, Beacon. I'm tempted to sign up, though most of the perks aren't relevant to me at this point — for example, exclusive series Critical Role Cooldown doesn't kick in until at least 207 episodes (c.830 hours of viewing) after where I'm currently at. ("At least" because that's not counting one-shots and miniseries and the like that I'll likely watch between Campaigns 2 and 3.) On the other hand, it would mean ad-free viewing from Campaign 2 Episode 20 onwards (Campaign 1 and Campaign 2 Episodes 1–19 remain exclusive to Geek & Sundry's YouTube, I guess for legal reasons).
