NOBODY WARRNED ME 😭😭😭

Description of image: Meme image. I can't believe he didn't cry during Titanic! Do men even have feelings? The man is crying at Picard crying in the mud.

That one's great, but just you wait. Sad flute solo
- Fun fact. The Picard theme was inspired by Inner Light. Not the main theme, but the theme his son plays.

  Wow I recognized it the moment it played. Whoever decided to do that for the theme song gets a gold star.
- Omg what does this mean 😭😭
  
  Oh my god. My friend, you are in for some fukken FEELS. I almost envy you having that episode to watch for the first time, but I'm busy rewatching all of TNG right now and that episode hits just as hard many rewatches later.
  
  S5E25: The Inner Light.
  
  I won't spoil it if you haven't watched it yet.
- it hits like a truck every single time
Watching Geordi share his surprise with everyone at the fleet museum in season 3 of Picard destroyed me. Trek has moved me plenty, but nothing compares to that, just sobbing along with my wife and realizing I was processing actual emotional trauma.
- I love how the Ent D restoration was Geordi's mid life garage project.
"Family" s4e2. Admittedly, haven't rewatched this one for years. Could use a little gut punch.
- It has a great effect if you binge The Best of Both Worlds while stoned right before it too. Can confirm.
  
  Taking your advice. Forgot about Shelby. Very full circle. Thanks for the tip.
I laughed at titanic.

You want to talk moments that kicked you in the soul? Lore saying "I love you... brother" as Data is deactivating him.

Maybe it just hits too close to home after being in a similar situation with my own evil brother. But that's one of those moments that always catches me off guard. Especially since the rest of the episode isn't all that great, so it's easy to let your guard down.

While I'm feeling nostalgic, here's a few other honorable mentions in the "I wasn’t prepared to feel emotions today" category:

Ivanova after getting healed - Babylon 5

I didn't count on being happy - Batman: Mask of the Phantasm

Demona's password - Gargoyles
- propeller man gets me every time 🤣
In the first episode of Picard, playing chess with Data... "Because I don't want the game to end." Man, on so man levels, it was a few weeks before I could even say that line without getting choked up.

I grew up as a little boy watching every TNG with my dad, I don't want the game to end either.
I feel the pain that Data feels upon losing his daughter.
The first few moments of that first meeting with Spock Prime.
Sci-fi shows have moments that weirdly hit really hard.

This scene is one for me.

In Stargate Atlantis when Dr McKay loses his memory in a similar way to alzheimers, I lost my shit.

Warehouse 13 s3e11. running up that hill plays quietly in the background

Sliders has several. Eureka, Farscape, quantum leap, futurama, Battlestar Galactica, firefly, fringe, the list goes on...
Still blows my mind that Roddenberry hated the script for "Family" and wanted it thrown away. Like it's great that humanity has evolved past most interpersonal conflict. Picard has PTSD as he should for what he went through. Same reason for his perspective in "I, Borg" and "First Contact." He is damaged. His scene with Sisko in "The Emissary" is so great because Picard feels like he deserves Sisko's animosity. "Family" is one of my favorite episodes. Right up there with "Duet" and "It's only a paper moon" for showing the emotional cost of war.
