Honorable mention - John Doe. For those who followed the show, it had one hell of a cliffhanger. One of the main characters ends up getting murdered, and we're left to wonder about everything else as the season finale also became the series finale too.
Dammit.

Greatest damn show... but the ending made no sense to me. Flatbed truck driving to Big Bend and a dance sequence... what the hell?!?
It was all about the inner struggle of man, and how the only people who ever really own or limit us is ourselves!
My brain hurts when I try to dissect it scene by scene...
It was pure brilliance Chrisisall

Wonderfalls. Very tense and emotional. Also hilarious: "It's your sister's job to clean the floor."

I have to go with the Angel series finale as my favorite series ender of all time.
Though not sci-fi... the first season finale of Veronica Mars is a great model demonstrating how to end a TV season full of plot threads and tangents. The writers on that show did a masterful job bringing everything to a sound conclusion. Had VM not been renewed for a second season, the show would have gone out much like Angel did: with class, style, heart to spare and with kick-ass writing.

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.
Like OMG! Space Above and Beyond soooo rocked!
They didn't all die tho... the only definate death was Wang...
We know Nathan and Cooper survive.
The other two *may* have survived...
That was such a great show...
When the day of revolution comes Fox execs will be the first against the wall man...

Someone once wrote this out, and added one bit of punctuation, and it blew my mind:
Quote:
Number 6: Who are you?
Number 2: I am Number 2.
Number 6: Who is Number 1?
Number 2: You are, Number 6.
Number 6: I am NOT a number, I am a person. A free man.

QL? Only if wanting to take a baseball bat to the tv counts as best. I still get mad - how many years later? Maybe that's better than lame finales like Highlander but only just... (imnsho and ymmv)
I vote for Angel hands down and Blakes 7 second but to be snarky (it's been that kind of month) I'll give Enterprise a thumbs up just because it _was_ the final episode.

If Peacekeeper Wars counts, then Farscape wins, hands down. No TV show in the history of ever has had a finale that so well tied up the themes and plot threads of a show. It was so good it made the rest of the series better.
If the 4th season finale is what you're calling the last episode, then maybe not so much...it was still great, but I'd have to go with whoever said All Good Things.
Worst finale (though I know this isn't the topic, it just came to mind) is Buffy.
