When I watched The Visitor about a month ago, I wept like a little girl. And not just at the end of the episode! Normally I'm like a Vulcan, but lately I've been having trouble controlling my emotions. Maybe I should meditate more often. ;)

At the end of Zero Hour when they thought Archer was dead and you don't know if he was or not (at least the first time I didn't)... that didn't make me completely tear up but when it shows the scene with Porthos looking all sad.. that got me..

 

oh and daedalus too.. wasn't the best ent episode.. but at the end where he tries for so many years to get his son back just for him to die in the transporter beam.. :'(

What about Daedalus? That poor man lost his son fifteen years after he lost his son. Let that be your last battlefield was also quite sad as the violence on Cheron was so complete it was tragic.

 

Great thread!

 

even thou it was one of the most boring treks i had watched in a long time...probably missed that bit falling asleep through this very very poor episode...glad it got miles better afterwards thou

How about "The Offspring"? Data lost a real daughter' date=' not like the Doctor's fictitious daughter in that 3rd season episode of Voyager.[/quote']

 

I have to agree about this one, was quite a moving ep,

 

Also wrath of khan as well when spook dies that also was a very moving scene

How about "The Offspring"?

 

You said it man! Fantastic ep. and tear-jerker! "Measure of a Man" and "The Inner Light" were both great, but I got misty-eyed watching "The Offspring".

 

As for Enterprise, I say "Cogenitor" although "Twilight" and the one with Sim-Trip ("Similtude", I think) were good as well.

TOS - I can't remember the title, but it's the one where the away team are caught in a storm, Kirk gets left behind after some sort of accident. His memory is gone, and the natives (who are essentially American Indians) take him to be one of their gods "Kirok". He marries a beatiful young woman who falls in love with him, and for about fifteen minutes they live happily ever after. However, when one of the young men finds out he's not really Kirok, he sets out to prove it.

 

Kirk/Kirok is forced to show he can summon unseen forces to stop the impending distaster to be caused by a meteor heading for this idylic little planet. The Enterprise cannot move it by tractor, nor anything else. Obviously Kirok cannot stop it, and the crowd stone him and his wife. An away team arrives in time to save Kirk, but as we later find out: not the girl. Kirk's memory returns thanks to Spock and he figures out how to use some ancient planetary defences to destroy the meteor.

 

The episode ends with Kirk/Kirok grieving over the body of his dead wife, with Bones in the background his head hung in frustrated failure to the sound of very sombre music.

 

Most. Emotive. Episode. Evar.

 

----------------

 

Now for sheer drama: TNG The Pegasus! The music, the atmosphere on the bridge, the hidden knowledge between Riker and the Admiral, Picard's suspicion. The Romulan presence just adds to it. You begin to see the thin veil of "evolved ideology" slide from the Starfleet officers, even one you know.

 

The episode culminates with our faith in Starfleet and the Federation restored by Riker's choice of allegiance, and the price the Admiral will obviously pay for his crimes - no matter how well intentioned they were. Almost a human version of klingon honour is restored.

 

--------------------------

For excitement...

Enterprise: Babel One, United

You know something actioned packed is coming the minute Shran appears. The rapport he builds with Archer adds to the almost powerful feeling. The fight between the two is reminicent of Kirk and his many hand to hand battles. There is too much to describe here - it just all _works_. It's the trek magic.

 

--------------------------

 

For gung-ho fun...

 

DS9:Sacrifice of Angels

 

The massive Fed/Dom fleet battle is so epic you think SW's Endor was a tea party. Defiant's dogfighting, and those bloody awesome Advanced Galaxy class ships made it one of the best fights in trek history.

-------------------------------

 

For chilling, harsh battle reality:

Enterprise: Azati Prime

 

The last-chance feelings at the start of the episode, the battle damage that leaves ugly scars along her hull, the fire in engineering that envolpes an engineer, the expsed decks that you can see during the outside views, the destruction on the bridge... and the realization that the Primate Xindi can be ignored by the Reptilians.... Whoowee.

Cry, hmm, I won't admit to that, but at the end of Movie 6 "Undiscovered Country", the speech makes me a little misty.

 

and in Nemesis when Picard is talking to B4 about Data, you know you won't see data again. A great way back into bringing Data back is to say they swapped bodies and his mind is backed up on the ships computer...not intelligent, original or plauseable, but....

 

When Spock died, my Godfather had a friend on the inside that had already told us the basic story line for "Search for Spock"...and that was the week the movie came out. I was prepared, but it was a spoiler I'll never forget, it robed us of the moment.

Spock's death was powerful, but it doesn't really get to me that much.

 

"The Offspring" always does, though. I get a bit misty-eyed just thinking about Data and Lal's last moments together...

 

"I... love you... father..."

"I wish I could feel it with you."

"I... will feel it... for both of us... Thank you.. for my life..."

;_;

 

"The Visitor" is deffinitely up there on DS9 eps. "The Siege of AR556" is also an amazingly powerful epsiode.

 

Tasha's funeral, deffinitely. EMH daughter, ditto.

 

I feel like I'm forgetting some eps... Not sure what though... Oh well ~_~

Tasha yars funeral was good, made me cry, was odd tho, if you look at a earlier episode she is waving 'bye' as picard and beverly leave the storage bay, kinda ofdd, she filmed her death and then filmed another episode, set before her death,. odd, but cool

Bones:"Do you know what you just did?" Spock:"He knows Doctor, he knows."

 

Wrath Of Khan - Spock dies saving the ship.

Spock:"Ship, out of danger?"

 

Wrath Of Khan - Kirk's eulogy at Spock's funeral.

Kirk:"Of all the souls I've known...his was the most human."
