What do you guys believe to be the best series finale? Pic

6 feet under hands down.
The shield is good, but 6FU was intense

The Leftovers for drama
The Office (U.K.) for comedy

Actually just rewatched the final scene like twenty minutes ago. It is incredible, but I feel that that scene is so incredible, that it kinda diminishes the rest of the episode -- and even the last few episodes. Still, very unique and heart-wrenching.

The Leftovers had a good finale? That's good to know, thanks.

Sure as hell not the Sopranos or Mad Men. I thought the King of the Hill finale was done well though.

Yeah that Sopranos thread reminded me about it too. And I agree with you on the diminishing

What was wrong with the Sopranos ending?

Mad Men's had some solid scenes (therapy circle, talking to Betty), but that ending was a bit weak. I think it could grow with time.

My only complaint with the Sopranos ending was the lack of closure. The way it was teased. I felt like they toyed with the audience. As far as Mad Men, it all felt really rushed. Every character's story got magically wrapped up in the last episode.

Mad Men criticism is fair.

What closure was the Sopranos finale lacking?

Not him but i watched The Sopranos in syndication after it had already aired and didn't even realise it had ended until i watched the next episode that aired and it was the first episode again.

I'm all fine with a bit of ambiguity about the future. "It's Carlo. He's gonna testify." Meadow drama and AJ possibly finally getting straightened out is par for the course. I suppose the way we left Sil in a coma and teasing a hit on Tony by the guy in the restaurant. I wanted more for the characters in the show.

Also, call me crazy but in the first 10 seconds or so of this clip, doesn't it almost seem like a daydream on Tony's part? The way it was shot? It's just odd. I can imagine Tony thinking, "It could be like this." The whole scene in the restaurant including the weirdo who went to the bathroom nearby could have all been in Tony's head.

Purposefully done. From David Chase on the episode:

>It was my decision to direct the episode such that whenever Tony arrives someplace, he would see himself. He would get to the place and he would look and see where he was going. He had a conversation with his sister that went like this. And then he later had a conversation with Junior that went like this. I had him walk into his own POV every time. So the order of the shots would be Tony close-up, Tony POV, hold on the POV, and then Tony walks into the POV. And I shortened the POV every time. So that by the time he got to Holsten's, he wasn't even walking toward it anymore. He came in, he saw himself sitting at the table, and the next thing you knew he was at the table.

It's probably one of my favorite cuts in history. I think the first time I saw it, I paused the show, went back, and watched it again. So well done.

Noice.

I think with The Shield it was a combination of the finale and a few episodes before the finale that made it so good rather than it just being a great finale itself. I really liked The Leftovers finale.

Justified which also features Walton Goggins had a really good finale. I think he is the best part of either show's finale.
