Trivia Quest
1x01 Reel Talk
1x02 Tune In
Is this really a TV show? It's a trivia game... but it's on Netflix, presented as an interactive series, with a new episode each day. So it's kind of a hybrid, I guess... but, really, it's more of a game — you can even replay episodes in "Hard Mode" — just presented using Netflix's interactivity tech. (FWIW, on the first, movies-themed episode, I scored full points on both standard and hard modes first time through.)

Doctor Who
9x14 The Sea Devils Episode Six
An all-action climax, with gunfights and speedboat chases galore — not the kind of thing you typically expect from classic Who. While it’s all suitably thrilling, it seems to mainly be there to provide cover for the rather thin plot, which rehashes The Silurians to diminishing effect. Fun in places, but hardly one of Who’s greatest narratives.

Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
I'm a bit behind and out of sync with the MCU at this point. But this movie was so widely acclaimed, it seems worth skipping a couple of other films and TV series to see what all the fuss is about. Their continuity isn't that intertwined, after all.

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
And lo, as was foretold, this week is indeed "a fairly large one". I said it would be thanks to both new releases and sales orders, and I was correct: three new releases from last week, an early arrival from next week, catching up on two other fairly-recent releases, plus four titles and from sales. And not an upgrade among 'em!
Number of titles in collection: 2,813 [up 10]
Of which DVDs: 1,055 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,758 [up 10]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 165 [up 2]
Number of discs in collection: 7,026 [up 15]

9x11 The Sea Devils Episode Three
I guess this episode must’ve been running short: it begins by recapping the entire sword fight from the end of the last one, taking up almost 10% of the running time.

Doctor Who
9x09 The Sea Devils Episode One
It’s been almost two years since I last watched any Classic Who (when I caught up on all the animations released to that point, and semi-randomly watched The Time Meddler too). Well, time has felt ever so distorted these past few years...
That said, considering I’ve been an affirmed Doctor Who fan for over a quarter of a century now, it’s ridiculous how many classic-era stories I still haven’t seen (heck, at this point it’s ridiculous there are any classic-era stories I haven’t seen, especially after I diligently bought them all on DVD). The Sea Devils is one of them, obviously, and my viewing has been provoked by, naturally, the eponymous villains’ imminent return in the forthcoming Easter special.
Not that you see a great deal of them in this first episode, which is almost all set-up. Well, there were six episodes to fill, I suppose.

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
Another moderate week this time, with three new additions, all imports from the US. It's also time for the monthly running time udpate, where all those 'moderate' weeks can sometimes add up to something bigger... though, with all the "surprisingly big" weeks I've had in the past couple of years, I guess a gradual build-up isn't what it once was.
Number of titles in collection: 2,803 [up 3]
Of which DVDs: 1,055 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,748 [up 3]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 163 [up 2]
Number of discs in collection: 7,011 [up 5]
Number of films: 3,337 [up 3]
Number of additional cuts: 254 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 9,266 [no change]
Number of short films: 957 [up 2]
Plus this week it's time for a running time update, so...
Total running time of collection (approx.):
503 days, 7 hours, and 46 minutes.
(Up 1 day, 21 hours, and 42 minutes from last month.)
See you next week, faithful reader, when the confluence of new releases and sales orders should make it a fairly large one.
