The Buffy series finale was worse than pretty much every other of its season finales.
Angel always seemed to have problems hitting its season endings, and the series finale was the best of the bunch, or maybe a close second to season 4.
Buffy ,'Help'
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Angel by a landslide.
By the time Chosen aired, I just didn't care anymore. I mainly wanted the show to be put out of its misery.
I'd have a much harder time choosing between The Gift and Home.
I think I'm in the clear minority of those who did not like "The Gift." I think that is the weakest season finale of Buffy. I definitely liked "Home" a whole lot more. One of my reasons for not liking the "The Gift" had to do with Dawn fatigue, but I am not sure I really liked the idea of Buffy self-sacrifice as the only resolution.

Pretty much that was my basic reason for not liking The Gift, but on a meta note, I loved that Joss was willing to kill off his main character. I mean, we knew that she would be back, but HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

He did have a certain freedom there that the makers of Felicity would have struggled with.

Oooh. Ouch. I think if I had to pick, I'd pick Home, but just barely.
My problem with The Gift was the whole "this is my blood, so I can do this instead of you" thing. Both those points came out of nowhere, and it made no sense.
I hated The Gift, so I'd choose Home, which is one of my favorite episodes of TV in the history of EVER.

This was the very thing that prompted us to invent the word "asspull."
I LOVED The Gift. I still cry every time I watch it. Totally the best Buffy season ender in my book.
