Back by popular demand, This Week in Blu-ray is here and ready to take on a big week of reviews in high definition. Sine we’ve been away for more than a few good releases, many of them have been included in this week’s entry. The highlights are many as we traverse through a world of major TV box set releases, great animated adventures, raunch comedy from the 70s and 80s, raunch comedy in the modern era, big action, big muscles, charming documentaries and at least one movie you should absolutely avoid at all costs. Torchwood: The Complete Original UK Series Seeing as this column has been away for a few weeks and I’m going to be catching up with some of the best and brightest releases we missed, I’m calling for a temporary rule change and allowing myself two — count ‘em — two picks of the week. First, because it would be near impossible for me to choose between the two. And (b), because they fit so well together. The first of these two must-have television sets is Torchwood, the Doctor Who spin-off about a secret British agency led by a mysterious American named Jack Harkness who has one advantage over the hordes of aliens he comes into contact with: he can’t die. Led by this immortal man, a team of gifted, otherwise ordinary humans work to protect humanity from any threat, be it alien, supernatural or otherwise strange and interesting.

The SciFi Channel original series Stargate Atlantis has been off the air for two and a half years, but that doesn’t mean it’s forgotten to fans. (And kudos to us for appropriately calling the network SciFi instead of Syfy.) Now, the entire series is available on Blu-ray for the first time in a snazzy box set. There’s twenty discs and 100 episodes, so head down to the corner store to get supplies and stock the ‘fridge because this game could last a while.

Can Momoa be our new Schwarzenegger? Can Nispel be our new John Milius?

Once again, Todd the Wraith contacts the Atlantis team. We thought he was dead, but his dangerous iratus bug healed him from his previous encounter. Todd confesses to Sheppard that he had modified a hive ship to use a ZPM as a power source, resulting in a super-hive that could become invulnerable.

Outside of Las Vegas, Nevada, Detective John Sheppard (Joe Flanigan) is on the trail of a serial killer. The victims appear dried up and prematurely aged with a wound in their chest that has been contaminated with radiation.

A mysterious woman named Neeva suddenly finds herself in the body of Dr. Jennifer Keller on Atlantis.

Dr. Keller’s gene therapy has caused an infection to the Wraith. When Rodney and the team try to fix things, they discover that the ship is literally falling apart, and hungry Wraith are waking up with a new desire to feed.

On a two-week leave, Rodney (David Hewlett) invites Dr. Keller (Jewel Staite) back to Earth to attend a scientific presentation by one of his rivals, Malcolm Tunney (Dave Foley)

While trying to hit on a pretty astrobiologist, Sheppard is taken hostage by the Genii leader Koyla, whom he had killed two years ago. Meanwhile, back on Atlantis, Woolsey faces a member of the IOA who wants him removed, and Rodney and Zelenka discover a mysterious device on the ocean floor.

In this episode, we see Michael at his most desperate, and his most vulnerable. He’s still bent on revenge against the Atlantis team for making him what he is, and he is still reaching out to Teyla, secretly hoping that she would join him.

Any fan of the Stargate shows will recognize this episode as a flashback episode. These showed up periodically in the Stargate SG-1 series, and we’ve had a few throughout the Stargate: Atlantis run.

Here’s another episode that proves that David Hewlett is possibly the most versatile actor on Stargate: Atlantis.

To say this episode, or the previous episode, was made for the fans would seem redundant in the Stargate universe. At this point, almost every episode is made for the fans.

Daniel Jackson comes to Atlantis to search for an secret Ancient lab with the help of Rodney. However, when they discover the lab, a device attracks mysterious soldiers who kidnap Rodney and Daniel, along with a powerful weapon against the Wraith.

While on a routine goodwill mission to a planet to help a village with an influenza-like outbreak, Dr. Keller is kidnapped. Rodney and Ronon stay behind to track the good doctor and the Runner who took her hostage.

The Atlantis team meets up with Todd the Wraith to propose a solution to their problems: Let Dr. Keller administer a gene therapy that will allow Wraith to gain sustenance from food, nullifying the need to feed on humans and giving them a distinct advantage in the Wraith civil war.
