The season finales of the past have proven to be exciting and jaw dropping, so how did this one stack up? Read on to find out.

Lois and Peter get summoned to Brian’s school because he told an inappropriate joke at school- and it was one of the jokes Quagmire told Chris. So Peter goes over to Quagmire’s because he wants to hear the joke, too.
Quagmire tells the joke and it’s so funny that Peter poops his pants. LOL. In fact, apparently Peter poops anytime he hears the joke so Quagmire and Joe take advantage of it. Peter is curious about where the joke came from, so the boys go on a journey to find the origin of this off-colored joke.

Last week was a beheading fest at the Tower of London. So let’s see what King Henry does to keep himself busy this week given his wife is now dead. We start with Mary telling Elizabeth that Henry has restored them to the line of succession, behind Prince Edward, of course. Mary is happy; Elizabeth is not. And Elizabeth is traumatized enough by what happened to Queen Catherine that she vows to Mary that she’ll never marry (which I believe is historically true that she never marries). The Spanish and French are at war and the Spanish ambassador proposes a friendship between England and Spain. Henry would regain all of his lost territory in such an alliance. But the French ambassador is there, too, to help reinforce their already existing alliance. The French owe him money- and Henry wants it- and he doesn’t really give the French ambassador a solid answer. Henry dispatches some of his men to Scotland, as well, to try and solve the problems up there.

Come with us, gentle reader, as we follow our brave Editor-in- Chief to the NBC 2010/2011 Season Upfront (when networks announce their schedule and we finally know who’s in and who’s out!).
This morning, KP had the cool opportunity to experience the announcements first-hand (lucky guy!) and he tweeted through it all. The following are his tweets and photos as they happened… (and don’t forget to follow TheTwoCents on Twitter!)

Here’s the low-down for this episode: There are a lot of “ha-ha” moments. A lot of “wow, you really think that?” moments. Bad decisions are made. The jury questions the final three and, mostly quietly, rips one of them apart. A winner is crowned and justice is served.
Pre-credits: Russell is angry that Sandra didn’t tell him about she had an immunity idol, which is ridiculous, as Sandra points out. Russell goes on to accuse Parvati of lying about knowing. Colby is excited about the discord, since he thinks it will help him get further.

This week on Law and Order: Camelot, the new detective crosses the line and accuses three of Camelot’s own! Faced with insurmountable odds, Gwen and Merlin must battle to save everyone in the opening credits from certain doom!
Merlin, in a moment of complete and unprecedented idiocy, makes a giant horse out of some campfire smoke to amuse himself while doing some sort of annoying manual labor or something. Of course, some random woman sees the hugemongous horsie and freaks her tattered little head off about it. Dumbass.

When last we left Eleven and Amy, they were fleeing from an army of Weeping Angels. That’s exactly where we pick them up, in part two of this Steven Moffat-scripted two-parter: fleeing from the angels into the bowels of the spaceship that crashed and started this whole mess.
