X-Men
2x09 A Rogue's Tale [2nd watch]
2x10 Beauty & the Beast [2nd watch]
2x11 Mojovision [2nd watch]
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).

Films
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.
