STARTING THIS WEEK: “GAME OF THRONES: THE COMPLETE THIRD SEASON”: The phrase “Red Wedding” joined television’s lexicon for all time with this round of the acclaimed HBO drama series. The power struggle among the Seven Kingdoms continues, with various forces contending to assume ultimate rule. Diana Rigg, Ciaran Hinds and Thomas Brodie-Sangster are among those joining a cast that includes Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, Emilia Clarke, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Iain Glen and Richard Madden. DVD extras: four “making-of ” documentaries; audio commentary by cast and crew; deleted and extended scenes. **** (Not rated: AS, N, P, GV) (Also on Blu-ray) “BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: THE COMPLETE EPIC SERIES”: The late-1970s show that started the franchise gets a home video re-launch, with Lorne Greene as Commander Adama, leader of a spaceship fleet transporting the last remnants of mankind. Close on their tail are the sinister Cylons, determined to destroy the humans. Lt. Starbuck was a man in this first version, played by Dirk Benedict, and Richard Hatch also stars as Adama’s son, Captain Apollo. Jane Seymour has a featured role early in the show. *** (Not rated: V) “HELLBENDERS”: The recent “Thor” movies have helped the notion of a Norseman’s visit to contemporary America be accepted, but whereas that one was pretty benevolent, the one in the case of this horror tale has no reservations about destroying New York. That calls a fraternity of offbeat clergymen into action, since they may be the only ones capable of vanquishing the villain. Stars include Clancy Brown, Clifton Collins Jr. and Dan Fogler. DVD extras: two “making-of ” documentaries; audio commentary by writer-director J.T. Petty. ** (R: AS, P, GV) (Also on Blu-ray) “NURSE JACKIE: SEASON FIVE”: Emmy winner Edie Falco continues her acclaimed performance as a medical assistant with her own related problems in this season of the Showtime series. Out of rehab, Jackie is celebrating a new lease on life when an accident suddenly makes her a patient in her own hospital ... but the situation has a silver lining, since the investigating policeman (Adam Ferrara) takes a clear interest in her. Fellow Emmy recipient Merritt Wever - who famously gave one of the shortest award acceptance speeches ever last fall - and Peter Facinelli also continue as cast regulars. *** (Not rated: AS, P) (Also on Blu-ray) “TOM AND JERRY: MOUSE TROUBLE”: The literal cat-and-mouse games are in high gear again, as this collection of 30 animated short subjects features one of the most beloved cartoon teams of all time. In one of the tales, Tom is working at a hotel where Jerry is a guest ... and you just know it won’t take long for staff-and-customer relations to go south under those circumstances. *** (Not rated: V) “THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN: SEASON 5”: The final round of the adventure series that made the word “bionic” commonplace stars Lee Majors as Steve Austin, the ex-astronaut refitted with artificial limbs that make him stronger and faster after a devastating accident. Many of the episodes in this season hearken back to earlier ones, with our hero again facing Bigfoot (played by Ted Cassidy, previously Lurch on “The Addams Family”) as one example. Other guest stars include Rick Springfield, Suzanne Somers and Martin Caidin, who wrote the book (“Cyborg”) the series was based on. *** (Not rated: V) Answers on page 15
