2x99 High Seas, High Stakes [1st hour]
Weird beginning to this episode: it's a big ol' party for their fifth anniversary, but they've also finally had to explicity acknowledge there's Something Going On In The World — i.e. Covid. Indeed, although they don't know it yet, this is the last-ever "broadcast live" regular edition of CR. After this they started pre-recording (because of the pandemic) and since have only returned to live broadcasts for one-shots and specials and that kinda thing. (More about their pandemic hiatus when I watch the second half / start the next episode.)

Talks Machina
#145 'Dark Waters'
This is the last Talks for a while, thanks to a little ol' thing called the pandemic. They did get out one more episode of CR proper though, so more on their break when I watch that.

#9 Raid on Graymalkin Part 3 by Jed MacKay, Federico Vicentini & Ryan Stegman
Having made an effort to catch up for this crossover, I've now fallen a good few issues behind again. Ho hum, such are my reading habits. Anyway, obviously I read these in the appropriate order, I'm just logging them alphabetically.

This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone
Pages 1–37
This epistolary novel is split into chapter-like sections (it alternates between the two characters, Red and Blue, finding letters they've left for each other, followed by said letter), but as they're not numbered or anything it's easier to track this with page numbers (never my favourite, because pages can differ between editions, but needs must).

Another quiet month at 100Films.co.uk — oops. But this week did bring the one thing I have stuck at: a monthly review...
...as well as its accompanying list of failures...

2x98 Dark Waters [2nd half's 1st half]
I use "half" with CR episodes for convenient shorthand — what I mean, broadly, is either side of the ad break — but the "halves" are rarely equal. This is a particularly egregious example of that, in an unusual direction: normally the first 'half' is longer, but this time the first 'half' was about 90 minutes and the second is about 3 hours. I watched about half of that 'half' today, so... yeah...

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
I hadn't expected this week to be so jam-packed — just a few pre-orders — but then sales cropped up and, well, I got a little carried away. The fact many of these are box sets has just made it feel like an even bigger week, especially on the back of multiple other larger sets recently.
Of note amongst this batch: the DVD that was gained last week goes back down, and takes another with it for good measure; and look how many additions are 4K again! They may only account for 13% of my collection vs regular Blu-ray at almost 59%, but I feel like they're beginning to consistently outnumber regular BDs as new purchases. The artsier boutique labels continue to keep 1080p well fuelled, though.
Number of titles in collection: 3,512 [up 11]
Of which DVDs: 985 [down 2]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,527 [up 13]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 458 [up 8]
Number of discs in collection: 8,489 [up 23]
Number of films: 4,462 [up 20]
Number of additional cuts: 440 [up 1]
Number of TV episodes: 10,101 [no change]
Number of short films: 1,227 [up 2]
See you next week, faithful reader.

2x97 The Fancy and the Fooled [2nd half]
I don't know if Matt adjusts his plans to make sure something major happens at live shows, but good golly, it's a fantastic payoff when that does happen — the energy brought by playing in front of (and playing up to) a live audience is something else.
