The Week in Gay TV: "Spartacus: Gods of the Arena" wraps, while James Franco and Anne Hathaway host the Oscars

It's time for The Week in Gay TV, your look at the week ahead and the the shows that will be battling for your attention.

Things start getting quiet this week but we have a few exciting picks, including a visit to a parallel universe for the Winchester brothers on Supernatural and a little ceremony where they hand out something called the Oscars.

Friday brings the finale of Spartacus: Gods of the Arena as Batiatus moves forward with his plans and the new arena opens. Honestly, I haven't been feeling this series. I hoped a second chance to watch Barca battle in the arena and Lucretia scheme would be satisfying, but the shocking moments have had a feeling of inevitability, which is a problem that usually drags prequels down.

Still, there's one more episode to change my mind. I don't expect they'll be able to top the beginning of Spartacus: Blood and Sand for drama and the bloody satisfaction of seeing ancient Roman society turned upside down, but perhaps Gods of the Arena has a plan to make this one of the few satisfying prequels.

Following Spartacus, Starz is previewing the new period drama Camelot. The series promises a new take on the legend of King Arthur with a cast led by Joseph Finnes. I'm not sure if I'm ready for another take on this story, with Syfy still airing the Smallville-ish retelling Merlin on Friday nights.

Still, Jamie Campbell Bower makes for a very good-looking Arthur.

Meanwhile, the CW's Friday night sci-fi block starts with a new Smallville. When Clark and Lois both end up passing out at their bachelor/bachelorette parties, they wonder if that bottle of champagne Zatanna sent was magically roofied. Unfortunately, I haven't been able find information saying that Serinda Swan will be a part of the episode, so we might not see more of Zatanna other than her name on a card.

Supernatural delivers one of its comedic episodes Friday when an angelic hitman forces Sam and Dean to hide in a parallel universe where people call them Jared and Jensen, while the guy who looks like Castiel seems more interested in Twitter than the battle between heaven and hell.

NBC has another gay-fave in the spotlight of Who Do You Think You Are?, as Sex and the City's Kim Cattrall looks into the mystery of her grandfather, who adandoned his family when he was young, and left only a photo behind.

Teen Nick has a new Degrassi with Riley insisting on coming out to his parents after his mother's surprise walk-in last week. Meanwhile, I'm hoping that someone finally smacks Drew for dating Bianca, the girl who outed Adam to the bunch of guys who ended up attacking Drew's transgender brother.
