Actually, the second-to-last Chuck gets my vote... but since it's only about the last episode:

Lost

Oh man... no one talking about Bones? Well-granted, I could see the end coming from a mile away, but the twist at the very end? Hell yeah... and utterly cruel. Amnesia, but in the context of Bones will be awesome. You'll have the lab people cracking jokes about amnesia while they try to cure him.

Honestly, it was a better finale than anything else I saw this season.

@Tyler Laing: Evil Tortie's Dad figured that one out before it started, and even before "House" aired.

Agreed that it was better than at least half the above, plus many funny bits from the whole cast. Bones has a really good ensemble.

LOST started out their season finale awesome, but then ended lame, but if you average it out over the whole two hours, I guess?

"Fringe", we'd all figured the parallel universe Peter out, and knew Nimoy was Bell, but within the episode itself, it was all amazing stuff. "Fringe" had the best last shot with that pullback to the towers. Jaw-dropping!

"Chuck" had a delightful episode all over, with the wedding(s), the actual offing of Chevy, the funny lines, and the sudden kung-fu. Possibly the strongest of the ones I saw. It certainly literally rocked my world with "Mr. Roboto".

"House" was pretty damn good, though, with more Dead Amber, Dead Kutner, and parallel realities unsuspected till the end. You really should have put that as one of the options. Maybe House is from a parallel world and that's why he's so smart?

it's hard to top a hydrogen bomb going off in the face of a major character. (and another character was looking straight down the pit, as if hoping to get their face melted off)

as for Heroes... that's still on?

@lostinjersey: Heroes ending was great, and deserves to be on that list a heck of a lot more then Smallville's.

@twDarkflame: The only way Heoes' ending was great is if you're using great as the word before a pejorative.

I thought House's alternate dimension was much cooler than Fringes.

Who needs to see the World Trade Centers when you can see House getting laid instead? Also, zombie Kumar.

@octalass: Word. House has his own Head Six! Plus as soon as I finished the finale, I immediately watched it again, which is the sort of thing I never ever feel compelled to do with things that aren't scifi. Ergo, House wins again.

What? No love for Heroes? But . . . but that season ender was like so nail-bitingly exciting! Or maybe it was like biting nails? Less enticing than biting nails? Yeah, that's it.

@Annalee Newitz: More like swallowing nails, then passing them whole through your digestive system. But I don't have to tell you that. You swallowed weeks worth of nails so I didn't have to, and I feel like I owe you some kind of debt.

I truly believe that the only reason Supernatural made the cut is so Sanctuary could be justified. Which would be sad, since, despite the vacuum surrounding the boy's acting abilities, Supernatural is greatly superior.

there's nothing geek-only about Robot Chicken, at least in the episodes I've seen.

Unless fart jokes are geek-only.

I dunno I've seen some fairly obscure jokes on that show. Like a FF7 spoof. Or the Zelda one.

Quick question, how can you call something a "First Look" when you're showing a clip from a TV show? Or am I just being nit picky?

@joemono: it's the first look at it? I'm not saying exclusive first look, it's the first time anyone is seeing a clip from the special (at least I think it is). Unless there are a bunch of other clips out there that I don't know about. If so ok then it's the second look.
