Quark leading the Klingon High Council through those business dealings in 'The Hosue of Quark' and then facing off against D'Ghor. He earned respect, there.

The very last shot of DS9, that huge pull back. Has me in tears every single time.

And The Visitor. That whole episode is perfection.

I wouldn't say it's the greatest moment in Trek, or even DS9, but it's certainly a fittng final scene for the series.

And The Visitor. That whole episode is perfection.

Not as good as "Trials and Tribble-ations", but it's certainly among the best.

Congratulations on the promotion.

Cheers. I don't know what I did to earn it, but I hate the responsibility! I want my carefree days as an ensign back! :p

One thing throughout all the series...

An underlying sense of hope, that we're gonna make it, that humanity will learn and evolve. It's so rare.

Dystopian futures are a dime a dozen. For every Star Trek, there's Terminator, Blade Runner, Solyent Green, Matrix... off the top of my head. I need something to look forward to, to help bolster my dreams.

Pretty much all of the above. Thanks for doing the hard work for me, boys

Just saw this again this morning, and I forgot how much I appreciated it. The end of TOS: "Requiem for Methuselah," when McCoy gives Spock the speech about never feeling the highs or lows of love, and then Spock walks over to the sleeping Kirk and melds with him to help him forget...

Very touching show of friendship, and a moment of Spock overcoming his Vulcan discipline in order to help a friend.

Oooh, good one, Mikey. I hadn't remembered that.

Actually, I hadn't either. It was on TV this morning, and I remembered it being a decent ep, so I watched it over breakfast. Then at the end, I thought, "That bit has to gon the 'favorite moments' thread.

I always saw that as not Spock making Kirk forget about that woman, but about making him forget the pain.

Although it does contrast with the "I need my pain" in ST5

I'd agree with the point about forgetting the pain rather than the woman...

But STV? I'd like to forget THAT pain.

Aw, come on, you don't consider Kirk throwing that cat woman into the fish tank or Uhura's fan dance to be among the greatest Trek moments?

If it was Uhura circa 1968, I would.
