Moments that Made You Emotional

[Roundabout]

True. I still don’t know how I feel about him joining the link in What You Leave Behind. I kind of hoped he would have tried it and then realized that he didn’t belong and he really belonged with Kira among the humans. I really rooted for them.

I didn't really like Kira and Odo as a couple. I liked both characters Kira and Odo, but I didn't think Odo was right for Kira.

Even though I didn't want them as a couple, I still thought it was kind of sad when they said good bye to each other in the finale, because they are both likable characters. I didn't want Kira to be sad.

I felt like a lot of the endings fell flat. It seemed to me like DS9 didn’t give a clear enough trajectory for a lot of the characters that would lead to a resolution. Like they did a good job with Miles/Keiko, and even kind of for Worf and Odo but as for the rest of them I was left wondering where their life is going.

I have to say there are two, count 'em, two times, ok maybe three times I got emotional with TOS. The first one made me cry - Lenore Karidian crying over her father. I know, I know but.. and 'Metamorphosis' end when the Companion takes over the Commissioner's body and she says what she does. Wow, was that emotional. What a whallop. I only cried once over another science fiction movie actually - 'Starship Troopers' when Rico says that Dizzy was not just a soldier but a citizen of the Federation. Gets me every time.

I don't like to admit it but I got a bit choked up watching Odo and Dr Moro reconcile at the end of "The Alternate".
...

What I didn't get though is that in "The Begotten" they still had the same unresolved issues and needed to reconcile a second time.
It's as if, each time they get separated for a time, Odo forgets that he's patched things up with his mentor and has to start all over again.

^
When Dr Moro offered to help Odo with the baby changeling in "The Begotten", it once again stirred up the resentment Odo felt toward Moro. Odo felt that he was mistreated by the way Moro "raised" him.

Remember in "The Alternate", Odo turned into that monster because of all the pent up resentment he had for Moro. But they did reconcile at the end of that ep.

Odo has a testy personality. He seems like a difficult person to really get along with. I assume that it was Odo's personality, along with the stirred up resentment, that contributed to why the first reconciliation wasn't enough.

At the end of "The Begotten", I think he finally, more or less, came to terms with Moro. Trying to raise the baby changeling made Odo understand what Moro had to go through when Moro had to deal with baby Odo. It may be the situation where a person can really appreciate one's parents when that person himself/herself becomes a parent and then can fully understand the challenge of raising a child. At least, that's the way I saw it.

[Armus]

Skin of Evil. Tasha's memorial, when Data tells Picard that his thoughts are not for Tasha but for himself, noting how empty it will be without her presence.

Even though he was sadistic and evil, I did find Armus to be a pitiable character. It's not easy bein' slime.

I just watched Voyager “Homestead” the last 10 minutes had me in tears.

VOY Drone- the death of One

 

[hbquikcomjamesl]

All of the above, and one other: the launch scene, in The Inner Light, when Batai and Eline return, looking as they did in the prime of their lives, to explain what had been going on, and why.

 

[at Quark's]

The end of Resistance, (an otherwise unremarkable episode), when Janeway tells the dying Caylem she is his (actually long-dead) daughter and she forgives him.

For better or for worse, that's how people are. Long-standing issues are not resolved in a single forty-five minute episode, especially where family is involved. Old issues tend to resurface when you least expect them, no matter how many times you've wrestled with them. .

Look at Spock and Sarek; they had their moments of reconciliation, but things were never simple between them. See also Picard and Borg . . ..

(I'm always puzzled when people complain that Picard should have been "over" his issues with the Borg by the time FIRST CONTACT came along because he'd already dealt with them before on the TV show. Uh-uh. Doesn't work that way. That was a major life trauma; of course old emotions are going to get stirred up when the Borg return and start laying waste to the Federation . . ..)

It's obvious from FC that Picard suffers from PTSD and ironically that justifies retroactively the decision of his hierarchy to keep him away from the borg, in fact, their evaluation of him was right on the money. Anyway, what's really shocking is that Picard gets over it in a matter of minutes after Lily calls him first "sob" and then Ahab... As anyone who's spoken to war veterans or victims of violent assaults knows. It takes years to be cured of PTSD and often it never goes away completely.

Speaking of PTSD. Sisko lost Jennifer and had also difficulties. He finally overcame them and then he met Kasidy.
I was sad when Sisko plunged with Dukat in these fire caves. He was with the prophets but Kasidy and Jake were left behind. The whole final DS9 episode was emotional for me. A lot of good-byes and tears. Another moving moment was, when Kira said good-bye to Odo who joined the Great Link.

No doubt the human psyche will evolve far beyond our base instincts in the next few hundred years, and emotional trauma will go the way of the dodo, along with war, poverty and money.
