Besides Tuvax being eliminated in voyager
This is my personal favorite moment. It’s a distillation of pretty much everything I like about Star Trek in one conversation.
I just love the DS9 episode “In The Pale Moonlight”, it shows that the federation can be just as capable of being bad guys as the other factions.
Don’t worry Captain, it is logical. The needs of the many outweigh
The needs of the few
…or the one.
Easily the most powerful moment is all of Star Trek.
“I lost a brother once. I was lucky. I got him back.”
“I thought you said men like us don’t have families.”
“I was wrong.”
Ilia, returning to study the carbon units. I thought that was the coolest thing when I was young.
Two words: salamander babies.
Happy Threshold Day!

When Mariner and Boimler show up in Strange New Worlds, played by their actual voice actors. Fantastic episode.
TNG: The First Duty, where Picard lectures Wesley. Such a powerful scene.
“The first duty of every Starfleet officer is to the truth, whether it’s scientific truth, or historical truth, or personal truth! It is the guiding principle on which Starfleet is based, and if you can’t find it within yourself to stand up and tell the truth about what happened, you don’t deserve to wear that uniform.”

The salt suckers!!!
Picard on the meme planet.
To me it was when the episode ended with Picard having been assimilated by the borg. When I was watching it it was way too late, and I had a flight that I needed to catch in the morning. I pulled an all nighter because I needed to see what happened next, despite knowing that the next 24 hours would be spent in transit.
To this day, Picard turning towards the camera all borg’ed up right before the end credits is the biggest cliffhanger I’ve ever seen.
Now imagine having to wait until next year for that next episode! Worst cliffhanger since Boba Fett flew off with Han Solo!
When that tear runs down his cheek. Just imagine how helpless you’d feel while your mind is being taken over by some program.
In the episode Natural Law Seven is stranded on a planet with Chakotay. She’s anxious about getting stuck there with the natives and she goes off alone to find a part of the ship they need in order to be rescued. In contrast Chakotay trusts the situation and is fascinated by the local people.
On her mission she accidentally loses her tricorder and reality suddenly sets in. She’s a control freak and now she’s all alone in a dangerous jungle and it’s getting dark. In her despair she regresses back to her childhood self, which is all she truly has left. She’s a helpless 7 year old girl who’s going to die.
A native girl finds and saves her. Seven manages to get her to understand her mission and they continue together.
However the girl takes her to see a beautiful waterfall. At first Seven is confused and upset because she needs to find the part. However the girl is adamant about it and eventually she starts to see the beauty. It’s exactly what she needed and the girl knew that all along.
I think this moment can teach us a lot about ourselves and our relationship to technology and beauty.

The end of Darmok was pretty epic.
