Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “although I haven’t seen any episodes as of this writing, and obviously haven’t seen all of them, I’m comfortable recommending Sherlock based on the earlier episodes.” Alex says, “I had never heard of Rewind This until today, but now that I’ve heard of it, I’m really interested in watching it.”

  1. I think we’ll be getting the Riddick Complete Collection Blu-Ray set since we don’t have Pitch Black on Blu-Ray, and we have no copies of the other titles but did enjoy them.

    Carrie is a rental.

    We just got Started on Sherlock (Finished S1) but we don’t mind waiting for it to end up on Netflix/BBCA/PBS/Wherever.

    • Proposed rewrite to your last sentence: “we’re willing to wait for Sherlock because we’ve only seen the first season so far.” Season three hits DVD and Blu-Ray February 11. You’ll want to have season two done by then.
