He was a disgusting, misogynistic murderer who shot Buffy and killed Tara. Skinning him alive was him getting off easy, IMO. Nothing would bring back Tara, but it was still pretty satisfying to see Willow get her revenge.

"Joffrey was horrible, but Ramsay was a whole new level of bad. He tortured Theon and Sansa among others, and I’ll never not smile watching his death scene, especially when it was Sansa who delivered it."

—jac1126

"Right before she died, we saw that she never loved her adopted daughter, Lila. She had only kept her around for her powers, and was ready to kill her when she was no longer useful. The Handler manipulated everyone in her life to get ahead and gain power. Oh, and not to mention that she killed countless innocent people without regret."

—sarahm4842ad31e

"It felt like such a relief. I had to cheer because not only was it unexpected from such a delicate character, but she did it in the name of Francis. This was something that the Mary at the beginning of the show would not have done. It showed her growth as a fearless leader, and it brought justice to Francis’s murder. A cheerful sight indeed."
