I seem to like the endings everyone else hates. I LOVED BSG's ending, and LOST's (and Dark Tower's, for the one other fan of that series who lurks here). And a lot of the shows I think "well that ended terribly" I'd checked out a few seasons before the actual end. X Files, Buffy, VOY...

Favorite: probably DS9, but I have a lot of love for the endings of His Dark Materials and Sandman. These are all for silly emotional reasons.

Least favorite: although I ADORED the book, the ending to Umberto Eco's "The Island of the Day Before" felt like someone tore out the last chapter and returned the book to the library in truncated form. It bothers me when things are left unfinished at pivotal moments.

Least favorite, with a fandom: Harry Potter, honestly. I thought the epilogue added nothing that couldn't have been handled in the narrative (ex: the one line of Harry's about choices, or about the bravest man he knew, or Neville's future career). And it was TERRIBLY written. I honestly think JKR took the ending out of her safe or wherever and published it as-is, with no rewrites. I'm willing to overlook how WTF I think the endgame pairings are, because the books have established a dating-and-marriage pattern that's at least internally consistent. But I'd hoped that we'd get more from that ending than pure fluff.
