Best TREK tear jerker moment

TNG's "Family". When Picard breaks down to his brother after they fight in the vineyard. That for some reason reduced me to tears the first time i saw it.

"I wasn't strong enough... I wasn't good enough."
 
For some reason the end of 'These are the Voyages..' always upset me, probably becuase it was the end of Star Trek.
 
I have a heart of stone but when Marritza breaks down at the end of Duet i get a little teary eyed.
 
Observer Effect: When Archer gently places his hand on Trip's chest as his friend dies
Yes. As well as his conversation with the Organians a few minutes later.

Lal. That whole thing was so well done, steering clear of trite and predictable, as someone upthread noted.

Spock's death scene, especially Kirk's empty, "What the hell am I gonna do now?" expression.
 
I can't believe no one has mentioned the episode Home from Enterprise.

I almost get teared up every time I watch the moments between T'Pol's mother and Trip. Then at the end when T'Pol kisses Trip, showing him that she feels for him, then goes out and marries another man right in front of him
 
Spock's death in The Wrath of Khan .
Yar's funeral in Skin of Evil would come in a distant second.
For some reason The City on the Edge of Forever, The Offspring, & The Visitor never got to me.
 
I thought the final scene of Voyager's Real Life when the Doctor's holographic daughter passes away was pretty moving. Great acting from the all of the actors involved.
:brickwall: OMG, how could I forget that scene? It

I can't choose between The Next Generation "All Good Things" poker scene and Deep Space Nine's "What You Leave Behind".
 
Hmm - as previously mentioned, definitely the death and funeral of Spock in TWOK - Shat's acting on his "his was the most - human" line always gets me.

In Nemesis, it wasn't the big death or the aftermath that got to me, it was the more understated scene with Captain Riker taking his leave of Picard. *cry*

A few from Voyager that spring to mind are when the Borg drone One dies with Seven at his bedside, the scene where Chakotay cries over Janeway's body in Coda, and Janeway's farewell to the crew in Resolutions.

Oh, and I always find the TOS scene between Spock and Bones in Kirk's quarters very moving in The Tholian Web, when they watch his last message. "What would you have me say, Doctor?"
 
Here's one I was reminded of because I saw it recently - in "The Ultimate Computer", Spock's little speech to Kirk, that ends with "A starship also runs on loyalty to a man. And nothing can replace it, or him." That always got me.
 
"Let's get the hell out of here..." from City on the Edge of Forever.

Best Trek moment. Period.

And of course, Spock's death is a close second.
 
I thought the final scene of Voyager's Real Life when the Doctor's holographic daughter passes away was pretty moving. Great acting from the all of the actors involved.
Amen!

That scene gets me every time.

I don't care what people say about Voyager. I found them showing the death of a child(hologram or not) a very bold move for Trek in general.

Way to go.:thumbsup:
 
Only scene(or episode) that makes me cry is Time's Orphan when they realize Molly can't live with them and she walks back in and little Molly meets herself
 
The advanced Borg's death in VOY's "Drone", when he chooses to die so that the present-day Borg will stop pursuing Voyager to get to him. Seven begs him to let them repair his injuries: "Please! You are hurting me!" Drone: "You will adapt."

Also the entire episode "Remember."
