Pfft. Even on a technicality I don't agree with that.

I thought about that Cindy - but then Restless can't fit into the rankings. And it's not like I hate Primeval - but it's no Joss finale. It's not fair to Season 4 to not count Restless as the finale, I think.

Restless is just the most amazing hour of TV, ever. Take your Body, take your Hush.
That's where it belongs, all by itself, atop a chocolate cake.

Well that'd be WRONG. Ask Joss.

Joss is wrong. Finale is the last ep of the season. Coda my butt.

Structurally, Cindy is correct, and I think both Joss and Fury commented how they changed things at the end of Season 4 so that it wouldn't follow the established pattern. Still, I think "Restless" is the show to compare season endings to, because it does offer that contrast to the others.

Actually I think I'm saying that my butt is my body's coda. Not it's finale. Yes, it's a fine coda to the torso, even though technically my feet may be considered the finale.

Yes. This.
And how much of a sap am I? I get all weepy at the "I walk, I talk, I shop, I sneeze... I want to be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out, and I don't sleep on a bed of bones," line.
I don't know why, it's almost nonsensical, but it's just sensical enough to give it some sort of gravitas that just makes my breath catch in my throat every time I watch it.
