I don't consider Objects In Space a series finale, or even a final episode, as it was axed in mid-season, otherwise that would be my answer.(Plus, this is OTHER sci-fi series, here)
And as much as I love the final ep of Dark Angel, I have to say that I think the best one of all time was All Good Things... on Star Trek TNG.
It was a great wrap up, as well as one of their best eps, period.
Dark Angel comes in second. What action!!
Kung Fu also had a great finale, completing the circle for Caine. It's # 3 for me.
What's your pick for the best that was last?

The series finale of "Blake's 7" is one of the most powerful final episodes ever. Only the finale of "Angel" comes close in my opinion, but -

"Angel" at least leaves open the possibility that some of the characters will survive. "Blake's 7 ends with all the heroes being gunned down in torturous slow motion, leaving little doubt that they have all been killed.

You just made me think: The Prisoner Had a most amazing finale! I saw it when I was twelve, and my mind is still boggled by it!

gotta agree with All Good Things from Next Generation as a great one.
Though my personal favorite would have to be the Finale of Angel.
Select to view spoiler:
GUNN - OK. You take the 30,000 on the left...
ILLYRIA - You're fading. You'll last 10 minutes at best.
GUNN -(stands)Then let's make 'em memorable.
Angel steps forward and Spike, Gunn and Illyria follow. Spike is standing off to Angel's right side. Angel is flanked a step behind by Gunn on the right and Illyria on the left. They stare at the horde of demons approaching them in the alley.
SPIKE - You gotta a plan?
ANGEL - We fight.
SPIKE - Bit more specific.
ANGEL - (steps forward) Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.
(the demon horde attacks)
ANGEL - Let's go to work. (swings his sword)
Fade to black.
One of my favorite television moments ever.

Agreed - the finale of The Prisoner is pretty amazing!
Twin Peaks had a cool final episode, even if it wasn't meant to be the end. Although, that sort of fits in the Twin Peaks world - we wouldn't want things TOO wrapped up!

No doubt about it, The Prisoner finale was so surreal it just sticks in your mind.

The finale of Babylon 5 is one of my favourites, even though it was shot to be the finale at the end of Season 4 in case Season 5 never worked out. I still cry at the end, esp when they show the credits with the first and last apperances of all the characters.
No power in the 'verse can stop me!

The "Angel" finale was good and also the "Star Trek Deep Space Nine" finale. Good comebacks someday?

I liked Space: Above and Beyond. That show ended kind of like Firefly, cancelled by Fox for no good reason. At the end, everyone died. They went down shooting. Great.

Greatest damn show... but the ending made no sense to me. Flatbed truck driving to Big Bend and a dance sequence... what the hell?!?
