Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “Charade, Gattaca and The Twilight Zone: Season Three are all great rereleases. Pick up any you don’t have.” Alex says, “I’ve heard good things about The Legend of Korra, but I feel like I should finish watching Avatar: The Last Airbender before I watch that show. Instead, I’m going with The Irresponsible Captain Tylor.”
