Doctor Who
3x36 Johnny Ringo
3x37 The O.K. Corral
aka The Gunfighters Parts Three and Four
Trivia time! The fourth and final instalment of The Gunfighters is the last episode of Doctor Who to have an individual episode title (excluding one-parters like The Five Doctors) until the new series started doing it again with their two-parters, 39 years later.

2x16 A Favor in Kind
Matt: "You're now going to lay low for about three days, taking a break from the story, so you can do things like shopping or whatever you want."
Me: Oh, great, an hour-and-a-half of nothing much.
The Mighty Nein: Repeatedly fuck up and almost get caught; wander through the streets on drugs; somehow manage to further the story anyway.
Me: How is this show always gold?!

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
Another moderately hefty update this week, which kind of snuck up on me. Okay, almost half of it was another bulk order from the US (a different site for different reasons this time, so not technically connected to the other two... but it's still a pile of US titles all arriving at once, so, y'know); but the rest of it kind of crept in. Three are new releases, one arriving more promptly than its label (Anime Ltd) usually manage, the other two dispatched later than normal and, consequently, arriving a few days late; and one's a new release for next week, arriving uncommonly early (by recent standards); and the final two are a couple of "black market" versions of titles unavailable in official releases (John Woo Hong Kong classics The Killer and Hard Boiled).
Across those there's all kinds of content, meaning every category changes this week — including DVDs edging ever closer to slipping below 1,000 titles.
Number of titles in collection: 3,287 [up 11]
Of which DVDs: 1,004 [down 1]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,283 [up 12]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 348 [up 2]
Number of discs in collection: 7,965 [up 15]
Number of films: 4,047 [up 10]
Number of additional cuts: 385 [up 6]
Number of TV episodes: 9,716 [up 25]
Number of short films: 1,136 [up 7]
See you next week, faithful reader.

Doctor Who
15x04 Horror of Fang Rock Part Four
Sometimes I watch a Who story and think “this is great ‘n’ all, but it would also make a great standalone movie.” Fang Rock is one of those times — it would have so much potential repurposed as a low-budget, creepy, claustrophobic horror movie. That’s partly why it’s perfect for classic Who too — no futile attempts to punch above its weight (though the new effects do help in that regard); just some nicely-done confined lighthouse sets and a bunch of well-sketched and -performed characters. And a total bloodbath of a finale.
