There's still something else that beats this as a tearjerker scene for me
There's still something else that beats this as a tearjerker scene for me
Care to share?
When I saw Cardassia in ruins and before that the heroic death of Damar, I must admit to shedding a (manly) tear or two.
Tears are a weakness that allow your enemies to sneak closer, because you can't see them as well.
Nope. The closing scene with Jake and Kira staring out and the camera pulling back is probably the only moment that I came remotely close to shedding a tear. The only other episode that has that sort of effect on me is "The Visitor".
I offer the most emphatic "YES!" possible. It's like this thread was made for me.As I said in my review of the last episode and the series as a whole when I finished both for the first time, that scene moved me emotionally more than any other in Star Trek. I expected to be annoyed about Jadzia's absence since she's my favourite, but the scene worked so wonderfully that I forgot about that.
I've had tears in my eyes for Star Trek on several occasions. The ends of "Darmok", "The Offspring", "The Inner Light", and "The Wrath of Khan" are some of the most memorable examples, but this is the first one that ever made tears actually roll down my face continuously for a brief period. Those other ones just made me a little 'misty'. It was a beautifully crafted scene that really won me back emotionally after the Dukat/Sisko showdown infuriated me with its stupidity.
Jadzia's absence really grated in Worf's flashbacks. It made no sense to have Worf/Ezri scenes in his flashbacks instead of Worf/Jadzia. I heard there was an issue with re-using her scenes because she didn't give them permission, or something?![]()
