That good huh? Think it would mean anything if I just watched finale?

Re: Series finales that always get you
People downplay the TNG finale because the movies would follow...but, do we really want to remember the TNG movies? This was as perfect finale as a television series could get. This Hugo award winning episode has an ingenious sci fi plot that gives everyone of the cast a chance to shine. It both closes the book and leaves it open-ended at the same time. It's jaw-dropping that it was penned in only 2 weeks.
Come on, try not to tear up at this:

Angel has already been mentioned. Same with Chuck, which I hated at first, but it has grown on me through the years. Eureka and Warehouse 13 are also light and sweet send offs that I get all weepy over.

Chuck is up there with Quantum Leap. It's not the finale/coda fans were expecting but both are bittersweet and more nuanced and easier to appreciate upon multiple viewings.

Haven had a good ending. I wish I could say the same for The Magicians but I've tried blocking most of the last season from memory.

Sadly, that last Magicians season shouldn’t have happened. It didn’t completely jump the shark like some shows have, but it just lost it’s magical spark (no pun intended) without that particular character. On the other hand, that show always embraced the difficulty aspects of being human, so a season built around dealing with grief isn’t out of character.

I’ve actually been thinking of doing a Haven binge. Most of those I only ever saw once live or within a few days of airing.
