I guess mine weren't all that different. I just took offense to Restless getting the lowest grade.

With good reason. That is just insane. Restless is such a brilliant episode.
I would have trouble ranking them from most to least favorite. They are some of the best episodes in the series, imo and I love them all. Although I don't think that you can rate Grave separate from Two to Go.
True, the finales are usually great, Grave being the least so. But still good. The way I seperate TTG and Grave is one had much more Giles.
Grave just doesn't stack up for me compared to the rest...one of the top 20 ever, but not as good as the other finales. Maybe Graduation Day Pt 2 or Prophecy Girl, but not quite.
I love, love, love Grave. I'd put it second to Becoming among the finales.
(The rest would be Restless, Chosen, Prophecy Girl, Graduation Day and The Gift,in order.)
Oddly enough I didn't like Restless the first time I watched it, but in retrospect it is my favorite just because of the foreshadowing and altogether oddness of it all. The Gift has a special place in my heart because it had the biggest HSQ of all time for me at the end. I honestly did not hear that she was going to die and it hit me fucking HARD. I had never cried during a television show before in my life until that night and I did twice. Again at the end of Angel.
Well, you could probably argue that Restless isn't much of a finale to S4, since it wasn't really *meant* as a finale to S4. It's an incredible episode, though.
