What shows, in your opinion, had the best endings? For me, the best way a science-fiction show could end is with a built up to the grand finale.
Jericho: I don't remember the series that well, but the first season ended on a massive cliffhanger. The second season was only seven episodes and basically serves to end the series. So much goes on in this short, conclusive season.
Roswell: Knowing the third season would be the last, the final seven episodes brought extreme changes and ultimately conclusion to the series. It wasn't a straight up seven-episode arc, but each episode had direct consequences on the next.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: When the seventh began, it was advertised as the final season. In the spring, there were endless promos of The Final Chapter. The Final Chapter featured eight episodes in a serial format that lead up to an epic two-hour finale to bring the series full closure. Of any series I've followed, this had the most satisfied ending, because there was so much going on.
Can you name any other shows that ended with a multi-episode saga?
