15 First and Last Lines Of The Best Characters On Beloved TV Shows

“The beginning is the end” is a common refrain all over the small screen. When shows or characters are done with their stories and finally put out to pasture, you can often see the end that arrived in how all of these things began. The initial creative seed that somehow grew into a tree with branches spreading out plotlines, relationships, and final fates.

Aaaand sometimes absolutely none of that’s true; shows have just been flying by the seat of their pants. They consist of a bunch of completely random cars, filled with ideas, crashing into each other in various unexpected ways for both the creators and the audience. Either way, seeing how characters change from the first episode to the final is a good way to view the show as a whole. With that in mind, here are some first and last lines from some of the best characters on some of the best shows out there.

The Doctor runs and doesn’t want to stop in Russell T Davies' Doctor Who

Doctor Who The Doctor (as written by Russell T Davies) First line: Run Last line: I don't want to go. The last line of the show is almost a response to the first. When Davies left, he went out speaking the truth - he didn't want to leave. And when he came into the show, the Doctor began running. Of course, all of this is moot now that Davies is coming back.

Buffy goes from teen to queen in Buffy

Buffy The Vampire Slayer FIRST LINE “I’m up, Mom!” LAST LINE No response. She went from high school girl with her mom to savior of the world. Buffy's last actual line is Spike, but her telling silence when Willow asks her, What now? after her entire goal has been completed - that resonates more.
