‘Supernatural’: Alex Annie Alexis Ann

THEN: “Vampires! Gets funnier every time I hear it.”
And then Sheriff Jody Mills and her sassy pixie hairdo kill the vampire with a fire ax because that’s how the HBIC do.
NOW
Jody is waiting outside the station when Sam and Dean arrive the next morning. There are smiles and warm greetings, but sadly, no hugging. Boo! Whither the hugging?!
Sam asks after her shoulder. Jody shrugs. She asks how they’ve been. Dean lies that they’re peachy. Sam winces and gives a more honest accounting. “Touch and go.”
A bunch of holiday specials, a bunch of season finales, and everything else you don’t want to miss on TV this week

James Franco hosts a ‘Saturday Night Live’ that tries — and fails — to be controversial
Saturday Night Live
James Franco & SZA
December 9, 2017
This is the fourth time James Franco has hosted Saturday Night Live (which means the next time he comes back — and he will be back — he will be inducted into the “Five-Timers Club”). And this just makes sense, he’s a natural fit for the show. Funny, goofy and willing to be self-deprecating, Franco blends rather seamlessly into the cast (if the cast were constantly plugging their new movie, The Disaster Artist).
Unfortunately, he appeared on a night in which the writers seemed more determined to provoke than entertain, and they weren’t even particularly successful at that. To be fair to Franco, he did his very best with material that often fell short of his comedic talents. In fact, in most of the sketches he was in, Franco was the best thing about them.
Oh well, maybe next time, Franco. (And we all know there will be a next time — no way you’re going to pass up that Five-Timers robe.)
