HBO (ended 2005)
I wept like a fcking baby. If you watched every episode leading up to that one I don't see how you couldn't. Easily one of the best endings to a series ever. The video is here if anyone wants to revisit it.
"You cant take a picture of this, it's already gone."
I found season 4 very stressful to watch, but by the end of season 5 I was wondering why season 4 couldn't have been more like it.
The ending was amazing, and very emotional.
David Chase should have taken notes on how to end a series, I'm not saying he should have ended the Sopranos the same way, but people will be talking for years how great the SFU ending was. You think people will say that in a few years about the Sopranos ending? It just left a bad taste in everyone's mouths. (I still think tony's dead, but it doesn't really matter
I just hope something good comes around again as involving as SFU, I'm into Dexter, which I love, and I just ordered the first season of Big Love
The ending was simply beautiful, haunting, depressing, realistic. The best freaking ending a show could have. B E S T.I cried my way through the three final episodes pretty much.
More than I've cried since I was like.. 5 years old.

I thought the ending as beautiful and final. And those are the saddest words to hear. It just touched my heart. I cried like a baby. My daughter, who is 16 , said mom I never saw you cry. I absolutely love it accept for one problem. At the very end, as they was showing how everyone died, why did they have to make so that Keith had a violent death. Why couldn't he go peacefully like with all the other characters. They only black person on the show and they had to make his death violent. I was disappointed. But this show really did touch my heart. I felt like I knew, what Nate met by saying "You can't take a picture of this, it's already gone. Words that touch your soul.
From the moment Nate died at the end of the fourth last episode, I did not stop sobbing until the end of the show (I watched it on DVD)! Those last four episodes of the show have to be the best four hours of any tv show I have ever seen. The last episode, particularly during the ending montage, killed me!
It was the best possible ending, and it will forever stick with me. I can not even hear that song by Sia without getting choked up.
"You can't take a picture of this, it's already gone..." So sad!!!
I cried for days after I watched the finale of this amazing show...
Ditto what everyone else has said.
I didn't have HBO at the time the finale was broadcast, but I had seen much of the series (my old building had HBO) already and was DYING (no pun intended) to see it. I checked around for viewing parties or friends with HBO, but nothing worked out. So, I went actually rented a room in a cheap motel with HBO to watch the finale. I'm so glad I was alone, because I sobbed for most of the episode, especially the final montage, when I just really lost it for 20 minutes straight. The motel didn't have kleenex (like I said, cheap), but I think I used up an entire roll of toilet paper. I hadn't been able to watch the latter half of season 5, so I didn't know that Nate had already died when I started watching. To learn that--and then witness the deaths of all the other characters--well, that was just too much. It was a nearly perfect episode of TV--and hands-down the best finale ever. The only line in the episode I don't like is when Clare says to her mother, "And thank you--for giving me birth" (yes, I've memorized some of the lines). That just seemed artificial and over the top. Then of course there's the fact that Clare suddenly has a new car (hopefully a rental--because she won't need it in NYC) and decides to DRIVE to New York? What? But those are just quibbles in an otherwise perfect episode.
