George Kirk's suicide run and Amanda's death left huge lumps in my throat. No other Trek has had that effect on me, with the exception of crying over Tasha's death when I was 5.

I didn't believe for a second that it was really the end. And indeed, most of the characters popped up again here and there in TNG and others. Chekov and Uhura were back as recently as a few years ago in the fan film
Of Gods and Men!
