Blake's 7 (boo hoo, although SpikeandJezebel -

you never see any blood except for Blake, stun guns could have been used. Terry Nation had a get-out clause.

Babylon 5

the beautiful station - nooooo
Angel
in that order, I would love to say BtVS but the last episode was pants in comparison to the finales to Season 2 and Season 5. Now S5, that would have been a great end to a show
extremely dimensionally transcendental

I have to agree with anyone who said All Good Things, although the final episode of Star Trek: Voyager is up there as well. I mean, we knew how the series was going to end, but the way they got to that point was PERFECT.

"AJBAC" from Dark Angel season 1, and of course, "BORN TO RUN", from ( pay attention Kwicko), TSCC.

John Connor,"Born To Run", TSCC EP 2x22

I would like to put up ST Voyager here. It isn't necessarily my favorite, but its pretty good. Besides I like any episode of Trek that deals with the Borg.

To add backup to those already mentioned -
BLAKE'S 7
Best ending ever. Kept us talking about it for years and we are still going. Where was Orac? Was Villa really shot or did the coward in him just fall? So many questions.
THE PRISONER
So weird, so wonderful, so far ahead of it's time.
QUANTUM LEAP
A heartbreaking finale that could close the book whilst also leaving it open.
And for some of my own picks -
MASH
Battlestar Galactica (New version)
Only Fools And Horses (the original one where they become millionaires, after that they just sucked)

Considering the pilot was aired last(last episode) of Firefly I actually considered that the last episode at the time.
And it was the best last Fking last episode ever.

I don't have any that haven't been said already, but I'll gladly reiterate:
Babylon 5 - Sleeping in Light is such an excellent coda for the series. Makes me cry every time.
Farscape - Peacekeeper Wars - A bit truncated in places, but so kick-ass and moving at the same time.
Star Trek TNG: All Good Things.... - Just a great end for the series, hits the right emotional notes, and along with the pilot, bookends the series quite nicely.
Angel - Keepin' up the fight. Hell yeah!

Guess I need to see Blake's 7. I watched the first episode, thats it. Besides the already mentioned Star Trek closers, I've gotta mention the end of Carnivale (not intended to be the finale, but one hell of an episode) and of course, Cowboy Bebop.
So long, space cowboy.

I pray for one last landing,
on the globe that gave me birth.
Let me rest my eyes on the fleecy skies
and the cool, green hills of Earth.
