I'm not keeping count, but I will post some of what I'm watching, which is mostly documentaries. Billions and billions of them. :ugeek:

But not Cosmos for some reason ...

Right now, I am downloading the 2-part BBC documentary The Trouble With Tolstoy:

God has no place within these walls, just like facts have no place within organized religion. - Superintendent Chalmers

It's not up to us to choose which laws we want to obey. If it were, I'd kill everyone who looked at me cock-eyed! - Rex Banner

The Bluebird of Happiness long absent from his life, Ned is visited by the Chicken of Depression. - Gary Larson

Nice, one of the next few on my list is "The Last Station", have you seen it? I've been meaning to watch it for a while, but it's a drama not a documentary. On the subject of documentaries (right now I am watching, "My father, the genius" about a visionary architect) I am glad this challenge got me to watch a lot of documentaries that I may have not given the time to otherwise :biggrin:

:tup: It's now on my "to watch (sometime)" list.

I read Anna Karenina at University, and I noticed that Alan Yentob (who presents the documentary) has the exact same edition as me. :{D

149. My Father the Genius - interesting but a little boring, a visionary architect asks his daughter to make a documentary about his career. :dunno:
