Did you ever cry watching Star Trek?

The Visitor gets me every time. The love that Jake had for his Dad was so important that he would give up his whole life to get him back, and Ben wanting nothing more than for Jake to be happy. Trek IX gets me too. George Kirk giving up his life so the others can escape. How he hears the baby cry, knowing that he'll never see him, and never be there for him. I look at my own kids sometimes and wonder what their lives would be like if either my wife or I had died before they could know us.
 
I forgot to mention, the final shot from What You Leave Behind, the pullaway... That makes me cry too.

I just read somewhere recently that every shot of the station itself from the entire series was the physical model, except that one last final pullaway was CGI, and that they actually built a computer model of the station just for that one shot. Can anyone else corroborate this?
 
The finale for both TNG and DS9 watered up my eyes a little, but that's about it. Babylon 5's ending though - like a dam had broken on mah FACE.

:rommie:
