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.)

Two whole issues, but I'm still skipping two strips each Prog, meaning I'm only reading 60% of each issue — so getting through two is only equivalent to a little more than one, really. Hopefully those two duds end soon and their replacements are an improvement.

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.
