what do you think? Emotions about the nonsense in this episode. This episode itself is horrible. So I had to cry :-)
What episodes did you find really emotionally moving?
- Thread starter AdmiralBruno
- Start date
That reminded me of something someone actually said during Revenge of the Sith when Anakin fell into the lava pit. "But he was so good looking!"
That happened to me too. I don't 'ship' as a general rule but the first time around the only thing I paid attention to was the "Will they or won't they' thing with Janeway and Chakotay. Tom and B'Elanna were the typical beta couple who were cute and all that but I wasn't that invested in them. On my initial rewatch last year all of sudden I CARED about them. Don't really know why the turnaround.
TOS : I'm not a big fan and can't recall many episodes. However, I did watch The Search For Spock the other day (possibly my favourite Star Trek film) and, as always, it had me on an emotional rollercoaster!
TNG : The Offspring, as many have already mentioned
DS9 : There are so many, but I'm going with one of the "O'Brien Must Suffer" eps, Whispers.
VOY : Eye of the Needle - oh, the anguish! They were so close to a way home.
ENT : Broken Bow, that one with the Ferengi, or any other ep with Trip in his next-to-nothings
. What? Lust is an emotion, isn't it?

There was an episode I think it was from TNG or Voyager. Can't remember which series the episode and the name of the episode either. My eyes were filling up a bit and I was shaking it off to avoid having tears come out of my eyes.
I'll have to go through all of TNG and VOY on my DVDs again, perhaps in a year.

Any idea what it was about?

TWOK "proud....very proud...to be your son"
TSFS Kirk staggering and falling when David dies. "if I hadn't tried, the cost would have been my soul"
TFF "lost a brother - men like us don't have families - I was wrong"
TNG:
The Inner Light
The Offspring
...All Good Things "I should have done this a long time ago"

GEN "it was...fun. Oh my..."
FC "there's...someone still on this ship...and I owe him the same"
NEM "serving with you has been an honor"

Episodes have never moved me, in their entirety - just pieces of some of them have, and usually at, or near, the end.
Like, in "Measure of a Man" when Data comes looking for Riker, at the end, to show his friendship. In a similar vein, there's VOYAGER's "The Chute," where Paris informs Harry, "You know what I remember? Someone saying, 'this Man is my friend. Nobody touches him.' I'll remember that, for a long time." Also, in TNG's "The Child," when Deanna's grieving and everybody in the room departs. Or in the episode "Sarek," when Sarek tells Picard, "Your courage honours me." And a little later on, when Bev holds the distraught Picard, I am very moved by that ... emotionally. DS9's "The Emissary" is an emotional bath, as well. A lot of Human drama in that one, "... You exist here."
And in the TOS episode, "Operation Annihilate" when Bones blinds Spock, unnecessarily and everyone believes it's permanent. McCoy was very sympathetic, showing how guilt-ridden he felt about the whole ordeal. That, more-so than Spock's actual condition is what I found moving about that. Plus, Kirk's family is in jeopardy and all of that. And in ENTERPRISE, I hate - absolutely hate - how emotionally manipulative "Terra Prime" is, but it's difficult to watch Trip & T'Pol's circumstance. "Make some good come from this, Captain." And these are but the tip of the iceberg. If you're looking for Emotional Impact, look no further than STAR TREK.

Most of them have already been mentioned, so here's one that doesn't seem to have been:
Voyager's "Course: Oblivion" got to me for reasons nobody else seems to understand. There's something poignant about how tragic that episode is, and how no one will ever know what they went through.
I feel bad for the Goo Crew.*
*Well, that's what I call them, even though it destroys the gravitas of the episode. Because it does so. Feelings are uncomfortable and should be made fun of. That's why The Doctor (Who, not Holograph) does it.
