Best Tingly Moments

Randor

Lieutenant Commander
What are some of your favorite "Tingly Moments" from Trek? When it was either so emotional, so outrageously cool, or remarkably satisfying.

End of Call to Arms when the Defiant and the Rotaran meet up with the largest fleet we'd ever seen in trek up until that point. the music swells and you know they are going Dominion hunting.

Changing Face of Evil when Damar gives his speech to the quadrant accouncing his rebellion against the Dominion.

The Federation fleet charing the Dominion lines in Sacrafice of Angels and the rescue by the Worf and Martok.
 
TWOK of course. The death of Spock and the funeral.

"I have and always shall be, your friend."
"Of all the souls I have met in my travels, his was the most...human."

If those two moments don't affect you, then you are dead.

TUC: The scene at the end and Kirk's final log entry.

BOBW: The end of part 1, the convo between Riker and Locutus.
 
"I have and always shall be, your friend."

Despite my dislike of the film, that was a truly great moment in Trek.

Others include:
"Fire." at the end of Best of Both Worlds Pt. 1
Seeing the fleet at the end of "Call to Arms"
The scene with Lily and Picard in the conference lounge in First Contact
I had this huge, goofy grin plastered on my face when Sisko asked Kira to come to a ball game with him.

There are waaaay more, but those immediately spring to mind.

So did Kira:

as random as this may sound... when picard was questioning hugh at the end of "i, borg." that was the first thing that sprang to mind...
 
Sisko boosting up Rom's confidence by having the holosuite conjure up bleachers and bleachers full of fans to cheer him on. That was really sweet and warm and made you want to cheer for Rom, too!
 
Seven meets her assimilated father in "Dark Frontier"

The way Seven just says "papa" sends a shiver down my spine.

OMG, please tell me no one has made that into an avatar.

:eek:

What? That is just...creepy and sad. I suddenly feel very sorry for Seven.:(
 
The first one I remember is ST TMP when they entered the Veger cloud. Nothing I remember compares to the feeling I got in Jurassic Park the first time they saw dinosaurs.
 
The Inner Light - The entire episode - Oh how I love it!

Oh and I just thought of Voyager "Drone" where at the end the drone "One" is dying and Seven says "you are hurting me". Then One says "You will adapt" ... Very cool moment when I first watched that episode.

The Inner Light. Best Episode of Series TV Ever. That cheap tin flute sold at auction for $48,000 and if I had that kind of money, I'd have been bidding too.

Data in Measure of a Man, struggling not to answer Riker's question. Because he promised.

I Borg. Picard & Guinan. Hugh & Picard. Hugh at the very end glancing at Georgi so you know he remembers. Oh hell, pretty much all of I Borg.
 
End of Call to Arms when the Defiant and the Rotaran meet up with the largest fleet we'd ever seen in trek up until that point. the music swells and you know they are going Dominion hunting.
Wow, I'll never forget that. I watched that moment over and over and over again on the VHS tape I made when it aired. So frigging epic. That is my favourite DS9 episode and was my all time fave Trek episode at the time. Now probably #2 behind "Azati Prime".
 
"Gentlemen... may the wind be on our backs, stations please."
Kirk in SFS right before stealing the Enterprise.
 
Measure of a Man:
"Starfleet was founded to seek out new life. Well THERE IT SITS! Waiting."
That and the way Guinan so cleverly made Picard realize they were talking about slavery.

Survivors:
The instant I realized Kevin was confessing to genocide.

Journey to Babel:
When Spock lays his hand on the door his crying mother just walked thru.
 
The end of Course: Oblivion when the real Janeway discovers the remains of the demon ship and ponders it for a second confused as to what it was. So often in Voyager a happy ending was forced upon us and that was a rare example of an inevitable tragedy.

The end of Whispers when O'Brien looks at his duplicate who has just asked him to say goodbye to Keiko. He can't fathom that this artificially created being had the same feelings for Keiko he did.

"Forget!"

The end of the Most Toys where Data lies to Riker about the phaser going off.
 
The death of Spock...McCoy realizing that he's harboring Spock's soul...his appearance on TNG....Spock's final words in Undiscovered Country...Worf's introduction in First Contact.

There's so many, really.
 
I get a tingle whenever I hear "These are the voyages...".

Isn't "Call to Arms" followed by an episode that shows the same fleet, thrashed to hell?
