15 Greatest Final Shots In TV Shows Ever

8. Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Buffy Ending
Mutant Enemy

Buffy saved the world, a lot, and she did so again in the series finale, Chosen. This time, though, she didn't do it as the only Slayer, but as one of countless women and girls with the power.

The First Evil is defeated, the Hellmouth closed, and Buffy and co stand outside what's left of Sunnydale, with Dawn asking: "What are we going to do now?"

The camera closes in on Buffy's face, a smile beginning to form. She has spent seven years fighting, often by herself and burdened with a great power that no one else could really understand. Now that weight has been lifted off her shoulders, and the world is a brighter, stronger, and safer place, and the final image manages to encompass all of that in great, uplifting fashion without actually getting away from Buffy herself.
