With two episodes of the show left, chances are we’re never going to get everything wrapped up. For one thing, there’s the little matter of the second flashforward- keeping in mind, of course, that we haven’t even gotten to the first.

This episode focuses on nearly all the characters in the show, which is a sign that we’re getting close to what the whole season’s been about- finding out about destiny once and for all.

Allison Mack Says Goodbye To Smallville, But Not Completely

say goodbye to chloe...kinda

Chloe fans might not want to hear this, however I do promise there is a silver lining.

Although it was shared that the show’s producers were optimistic of her return, EW reports that Allison Mack is, in fact, leaving Smallville. Heartbroken fans take note; Mack will still show up in several episodes, thus giving closure for her character.

“Out of respect for the amazingly loyal fans and the place I will always have in my own heart for Chloe, I’m coming back for several episodes next season to tie up Chloe’s Smallville legacy properly.” Mack stated.

My Two Cents: This is sad news, but at it is great that they are respecting the fans enough to give her character a proper ending.

What do you think? Are you glad to have Mack returning, even if it isn’t for the whole season?

At long last, a glimpse at the life and childhood of Marshall Mann. That’s right, daddy’s coming to town.

Better known as Christmas, if you’re Mary. Also Brandi is back and she brought someone with her.

30 Rock
I Do Do

Love is in the air on 30 Rock, with Grizz marrying his love Fiance and Cerie finally marrying her temperamental Greek boyfriend. And Liz has to go to multiple weddings while juggling her sort of-fiance, Wesley Snipes, that lovable English insurance man who still doesn’t understand why her face is shaped like that.

What’s not to love? Jack’s love triangle has reached its breaking point, now that the horrendously accented Nancy knows about Avery, and even Kenneth is freaking out.

Happy season finale Thursday! While I’m sad to let go of my favorite new comedy of the season, I’m ecstatic that this isn’t goodbye, it’s just see you later. Community will be back with us in a few months. If I may channel Abed for just a moment though, season finale time is a time for twists. Britta and Jeff have slept together, now what could be a twist big enough for a finale?

If the fact that Lauren Stamile is a guest star tonight doesn’t start to tweak your radar, clearly you need a special study session with Abed who will school you on all of the aspects of T.V. plots and ploys.

I just went through all my privacy settings on my Facebook, and blocked all those random people I don’t know that started following me on Twitter. Why? Because of last night’s episode of Criminal Minds. Not that I expect to get whacked by the next psycho to cross my path online, but I forget that I should censor what I say online sometimes. Heh, me and my big internet mouth.

In last night’s episode, the team tracks a killer who uses internet social networking sites to stalk his victims before he kills them, learning their every move. But that’s not all he uses the internet for in his crimes. The whole picture is pretty darn creepy.

The season finale of Modern Family looked like it would be hilarious – and it was. Claire has planned a family photo, complete with white outfits for everyone and the perfect setting (the staircase at her house). Luke is doing a report on growing up in the 1960s so he’s asked for Jay’s help, Cam is hired as a wedding singer and Gloria gets a bit too close to Phil. How does this all play out?

Two Cents and Five Questions with Elizabeth Banks

…Elizabeth Banks, Actor

In the season finale of 30 Rock (airing tonight on NBC), Jack (Alec Baldwin) will be forced to choose between the two women in his life: high school sweetheart Nancy (Julianne Moore) and cable news personality Avery (Elizabeth Banks).

Even if he doesn’t choose Avery, there is no denying her portrayer Elizabeth Banks is still a winner.

With a slew of movie and guest star credits under her belt, as well as many more on the way, there is no stopping her. The Two Cents had the pleasure of participating in a conference call with Elizabeth about the upcoming episode. Here are some of the highlights:

TheTwoCents: Putting aside the fact that you play one of these ladies, who do you think Jack should choose?
