Which is your favorite alternate Jossverse finale?

[Joe Washington]

This is a sequel to "Which is your favorite Jossverse finale?"

Inspired by a comment someone made on that thread, I've decided to do one on which is your favorite alternate Jossverse finale which means an episode that isn't the finale of a Jossverse show but could have served as one in your eyes.

Here's a list of alternate Jossverse finales:

Buffy-"Graduation Day"
Buffy-"The Gift"
Angel-"Home" (I thought I should add an episode of Angel for the sake of fairness)
Firefly-"Objects in Space" (In a way, the Serenity movie was Firefly's finale)
Dollhouse-"Epitaph One"

So, what is your choice?

As good as it was, I would've felt so cheated if "Graduation Day" had been the end of Buffy. Three seasons wouldn't have been nearly enough of those characters. "The Gift," on the other hand, could easily have been the finale that would've satisfied me. But I love all of the episodes in this poll.

I think I'd probably have to go with "Graduation Day." While I enjoyed every season of Buffy afterwards, Season 3 ended an era for the characters, and Season 4 almost feels like a spin-off with it's different setting, missing characters (Angel, Cordelia), and new characters (Riley, Tara). Unlike a lot of Buffy fans, I do not think "The Gift" would have made a great finale as it currently stands. The ending is too abrupt. While it definitely makes sense to end the show with The Slayer's death, the way the last few seconds are edited just makes it seem way too much like a cliffhanger.

Season 5 already started getting into depressing territory. Emotionally, I think I checked out before "The Gift."

I like "Graduation Day." It was a happy finale of Buffy, Xander, Willow, Cordelia, & Oz walking off into the sunset.
"Fire bad. Tree pretty."

I voted for "The Gift". "Firefly" was canceled so was never given the opportunity to properly conclude.

Only watched Firefly. Others shows don't look interesting to me.

I would choose "The Gift" because I can't stand the depression of Season 6 or the constant speeches and betrayal of character Season 7 goes through.
