10 Most Awesome Season Finales Of All Time

1. Lost - 'Through The Looking Glass' (Season 3)

The Episode:

For a show that boasts one of the most hackle-raising series finales of all time (a conversation for another time, perhaps), Lost, sure as a Hawaii sunrise, boasts some of the best season closers in TV history. From Locke banging on the hatch, all the way to revelations at the temple, the show became famed for leaving viewers on tenterhooks, year in year out.

Best of all was season three's 'Through The Looking Glass', which as the bookend to slower-paced run of episodes, featured some of the show's most energetic and poignant moments. Viewers will probably cite Charlie's watery demise as a landmark, but it's thrilling moments like when the Others go head to head with the survivors that stick in the mind, as well as the unforgettable flip reversal on the show's flashback formula. Quite simply television at its very best.

Best Moment:

'We have to go back, Kate'. Sorry Charlie, the moment a bearded Jack utters one of televisions all time zingers is this episode's standout. Flash forward anyone?
