Did you ever cry watching Star Trek?

I teared up during Spock's death and Scotty's "Amazing Grace" piping in Wrath of Khan.
I almost teared up when Picard started playing his flute alone in his quarters at the end of "The Inner Light".

Not sure I actually cried, but I recently got a little choked up rewatching the Voyager episode, "One Small Step," about the dead astronaut in the Ares IV. And, like most of the world, I got a little misty-eyed when George Kirk went to his death at the beginning of the new movie . . . .
Maybe...... and to think next week at our theatre they are going to be playing "The Wrath of Khan". NOT that I'm sayin' anything there.........I'm just saying. Yes, my wife and I are going - my wife will be carrying the kleenex....NOT that I'll need any!!!....awww hell, I'll quit before I get myself in trouble.

I also cried a lot during "The Offspring"... that was a good tear-jerker episode. Also during the scene in "Sarek", when Picard (in Sarek's mindset) cries out how much he loves Spock. There's so much force and emotion in the delivery of the word "love", that it really touched me... that Sarek always held such deep love for his son his entire life, yet could never truly express that love outwardly, because of the restraints of his culture, and it finally all came pouring out, after the mind-meld.
I'm not sure. But I may have cried through Ent "These are the Voyages". Or did something similar. But was interspersed with "Morons!!" and "WTF!!".
I just watched Nemesis for the first time this morning, so add that to the list. *has perfected my Trekkie whine*
Back when everything was in its first run not much could get to me, with the exception of Spock death, the reveal of the 1701-A, and the line in AGT, "You were always welcome", obviously for all different reasons. But I've noticed over the past few years that things have kind of changed. I'm sure it has to do with the fact that I'm older, a father to two (almost) grown kids, I lost a grandfather that I was very close to, as well as a best friend at a far too young age. I still don't actually cry, but I do find myself getting choked up and kind of misty at times. The best examples are probably:
TWOK for obvious reasons
Tasha's farewell address in Skin of Evil
The end of The Offspring and The Inner Light get to me.
The cast's signatures at the end of TUC and the end of AGT, just because it was the end. (Ya, ya, there were still 4 TNG movies to come, but for seven years TNG was my favorite show.)
The Visitor is the only other one I can think of right now.
I guess you hit 45 and you turn into an old softy.

Ditto.
I also sat with a row of blubbering ST fans during a sneak preview of ST II. While they were stressing out over Spock's demise, a few of us were getting our first glimpse of the fabric belt-loop on the back of his uniform, an important factor in finalizing details on our costumes for premiere night the next week. "Oh look, sob, it's a trapezoid shape, sniff."
"The Inner Light" flute music is hauntingly beautiful. It has made me cry, even just playing the soundtrack CD it's on.
Jadzia's death is also sad but I definitely tear up every time I watch the extended montage of flashbacks in DS9's finale:

I couldn't even tell you how many times I've cried during Star Trek!
The most recent would be when you see the look on Kirk's mom's face in ST:XI as she realizes her husband is about to die.

I cried today TNG's "New Ground." Worf saved the life of his son. *sniffle sniffle sniffle*
It's been mentioned a few times but hasn't gotten it's own bit of exposition. DS9's the Visitor was the most moving episode I've seen. It still makes my eyes tear up when the older Jake is dying and he said he did it for Sisko and for the boy he used to be. Really this is a shining moment in all of Trek, just the love of a son for his father and the pain of that loss amplified by the wound being reopened again and again.
Other honorable mentions are: The Offspring with Lal "feeling" for both of them and Data downloading her memories. The Inner Light, a lifetime of loss and remembrance, a very original idea to preserve a race's memory.

I completely agree. I may have cried twice or three times watching Star Trek, but that is the one that really sticks out.
Though I didn't cry at this particular scene, but the final scene of DS9's series finale always got a lump in my throat.
I just saw The Measure of a Man and teared up at the end when Riker was sulking and didn't want to show up at Data's celebration because of his prosecuting the case. Data cheers him up and they walk out to the party. Scenes about friendship can make me cry especially when they''re as well acted as this scene was.
