Game of Thrones, Season 4, Episode 4: “Oathkeeper”
Written by Bryan Cogman
Directed by Michelle MacLaren
Airs Sundays at 9pm Et on HBO
Let’s begin in the south, where Daenerys’ army grows ever larger. Turns out catapulting broken chains over the walls of Meereen didn’t exactly spark an outright rebellion, so Grey Worm and the Unsullied go undercover, sneak into Meereen to bring the slaves an assortment of weapons to help incite an uprising. It’s great to kick things off where last week’s “Breaker of Chains” ended, but how disappointing is it that once again, we are denied any sort of intricate battle? All we get to see is three masters trapped in an alley, and a Targaryen banner perched atop a high tower, and that’s about it. In return for the 163 children that were nailed to posts along the desert path to Meereen, Dany shows no mercy,...

The following recap contains major spoilers if you have yet to watch Tuesday (Oct. 8) night's "Supernatural" Season 9 premiere ... You have been warned ...
Did anyone here truly believe Sam wouldn't make it out of the "Supernatural" Season 9 premiere alive? Of course not. But did anyone here think Dean would let an angel possess Sam -- long term -- to heal him from the inside out, without Sam knowing an angel was inside him? No way.
Unfortunately for the brothers' newly stabilized relationship, that's exactly what happened in the epic, intense Season 9 premiere. The action picked up the next day after all the angels fell to earth, and Dean dragged an unconscious Sam to a nearby hospital. Not finishing the trial to close the gates of hell burned his organs, and his brain wasn't getting the blood and oxygen it needed to survive. Sam's body shut down and went into a coma...

Tron: Legacy is both distancing and oddly engaging. This 28-years later sequel could not be more similar to the first installment. It runs at a mild pace, is more technically impressive rather than thematically and there’s not a whole lot of compelling drama. That’s not to say Joseph Kosinski‘s directorial debut isn’t without some soulful inspiration. The man’s clearly at some heartstrings throughout, and while it doesn’t hit the attempt feels admirable.
The original Tron is, by no means of the imagination, a genuine classic. It’s a B-level adventure film, sort of like the younger and less impressive brother of Star Wars. The original truly got by on having the advantage of the charismatic Jeff Bridges. His charms and likability sold the world of the Grid. Bridges made a goofy story-line believable and fun. And also, there were those never-before-seen special effects. This time around,...

It runs at a mild pace, is more technically impressive rather than thematically, and there’s not a whole lot of compelling drama. That’s not to say Joseph Kosinski‘s directorial debut is soulless, because it’s not. There’s something admirable about striving for a genuine heart, even if it doesn’t succeed as much as it should and could have.
