Data's speech to his daughter Lal just before she died is for me one of the most emotional scenes in ALL Star Trek
One of Star Trek’s best episodes every.
The moment when Tuvok did the little dance step when bidding Neelix goodbye, even though "Vulcans don't dance". Definitely warmed my heart to see Tuvok understatedly demonstrate his affection and respect for Neelix despite acting/being constantly annoyed by him
ST: Picard has so many!
Seven seeing Voyager at the museum and talking about how the ship was her home and the crew were her family.
The normally gruff Cpt. Shaw fanboying over Geordi Laforge.
And OH MY GOD, when Jean-Luc hugs Q and that whole conversation!
Shout out to the Lower Decks scene where after failing to get into the grand Star Fleet Party, the lower deckers and the bridge crew of the Cerritos end up partying at the local bar. Super heartwarming, especially when Mariner and Boimler engrave their names next to Kirk & Spock's!
You forgot “In The Cards”. Jake Sisko (with some much needed help from Nog) move Heaven and Earth to give a seriously depressed Ben Sisko a treasured baseball card.
A true son’s devotion to his father story.
The Devil in the Dark.
Always a feel-good moment when mama Horta and her babies work out a mutually beneficial relationship with the miners.
The first episode I ever saw and still a fave. To me this is ultimate Trek. Not only does it feature a non-humanoid alien (soothing a peeve of mine,) but the ending saves a species, and is one of mutual understanding and benefit. Everybody wins. The end banter is also some of the best from TOS.
My favorite one will always be at the end of TNG's final episode "All good thing...", when Picard sits at the poker table with his crew.
Then, slowly looking at each of them, calmly said "I should have done this a long time ago..."
"you were always welcome". OH yes.
The last episode of Picard series 2 where Jean-Luc goes and hugs Q just before he sends them home was missed
Any scene with Spock smiling really makes me feel good.
Ellie, thank you for "All's well that ends whale." Made me smile from ear to ear like Phlox. Thank you. I needed that. A feel good moment within the list!
She's adorable. 😍👍
How did you not put Data finding Spot at the end of Generations on this list?!!! That scene brings up tears every time!
Amen!
Forgot to mention the cherry on top of the sundae that was The Voyage Home - after saving the world with the whales, after being exonerated, after Kirk being demoted back to captain in order to command a starship again, we get the new Enterprise reveal. I was in the audience back in 1986 when the movie was released. The audience CHEERED at the sight of the new Enterprise. Moments like that are few and precious, like when Vader quietly and suddenly turned on the Emperor back in the original version of Return of the Jedi, or all the cheering at the resurrected heroes at the beginning of the climax of Avengers: Endgame.
This. How do you NOT include the Enterprise-A reveal!?😮😮😮
I was in the theater as well. Wonderful moment!
The only bit I don't like about The One With The Wales is Spock grinning like a loon on the wing of the Bounty.
@adamgoss3638
It sounds like you may be in the USA...
I would have loved to be there in the theater when the collective audience cheered......
In the UK, I have never heard of this..... 😞
On your left
I'd nominate two moments
From Star Trek III - "Jim. Your name... is Jim."
And from Trek IV - "Do you have a message for your mother? Yes. Tell her... I feel fine."
Both of those get me every time.
Great choices.
Wonderful lines.
Absolutely, and Nimoy and company performed that scene, very well!
Wouldn't get my nomination, but I really loved when Kirk says to Jillian, "How will we be in touch, I don't as you said in the 20th C, even have your phone no?" She kisses him on the check and says "We'll be in touch, see you around the galaxy",.Kirk looks so confused.
I always loved the paradoxical nature of the line "I feel fine". It's such a mundane state, just 'fine' but from Spock, the way Nimoy delivers it, is filled with weight.
Some of these feel-good moments got me through the hell that was American middle school. It was like no matter how lonely and sad real life got, I had these friends whom no one could take away from me.
Maybe it's recency bias, since I just watched it yesterday, but Mariner bringing all the California class ships to save the Cerritos at the end of Lower Decks season 3 is wonderful - and hilarious as Boimler reels off the names faster and faster. Love it.
I wanted to stand up and start cheering.
Loved it!
Well after watching Picard S3 episode 9 the ultimate feel good wholesome moment is the last 7 mins of that episode. I don’t think I’ve cried so hard watching Star Trek. It brought me back to sitting with grandpa and seeing the enterprise bridge for the first time.
You know as a teenager I was very lonely as I am now as an adult. Both Star Trek in the 90s and now were and are a god send.
Plus, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine and Voyager had casts and writers who truly took the concept to places it had never.... been before.
And the same applies to the viewer. For a while, you can escape your troubles on Earth and journey to places never dreamed of.

Sir, same here. ST:TOS was my escape from ''life'' growing up on a farm in rural Tennessee. Stay Strong, and LIVE LONG AND PROSPER.🖖
Thank you @@burtonwilliams5355, farmers are the true heroes of America. Sounds like a grand life.
LIVE LONG AND PROSPER.🖖
I was eleven when TNG premiered. My family put the 'dys' in 'dysfunctional'. It was a haven of sorts to see people on screen who genuinely cared about each other. It was like getting together every weekend with friends and catching up on what they'd been doing.
Same here. TNG premiered just a few months before I was born and I grew up on it. The idea of a hopeful future where "nerds" were valued and people generally got along was appealing to me. I'm enjoying the recent modern Star Trek series, but they really are missing that hopefulness that drew me to it as a kid. Thankfully, the last season of Discovery, Strange New Worlds, and Prodigy have started to move back towards that direction though, and I hope it sticks. Star Trek is powerful partially because it offers a vision of a non-dystopian future during times when our present world feels like dystopia is inevitable.
Perfectly said@@suzzannegabel1636. I was like that and still is when you watch TNG.
It always baffles me why modern TV and films are so obsessed with gloom and darkness. There was a family structure to the characters.
I hope your modern life is happier and thank you for your wonderful reply.
The "Pathfinder" moment when Starfleet makes contact with Voyager chokes me up everytime😢. But one you left out that also gets me is from Voyager's "One Small Step" when Seven Of Nine gives her eulogy then quietly tells the guy who won the World Series while everyone but Tom Paris is confused gets me, too😭
Seven reminiscing about Voyager
The Voyager ship bursting out of the Borg ship and returning to Earth with the people on Earth watching should be high on the list. It took 7 years for this moment! The final scene of Picard joining his crew playing cards at the "series final episode" of TNG signified this crew meant everything to him, and that "All Good Things" were right again in the world.
Nah that ending was shit
It was cool seeing them do that but then we didnt even get to see them return to earth or anythin just a lil chat with star trek command and thats it
Many of my favorite ("Feel good") moments in Star Trek come from the "Trouble with Tribble's" episode(s*). Including Scotty explaining the Bar Fight to Kirk.
As always thank you so very much for the video.
(* multiple episodes, when I include the DS9 Tribble episode.)
Agreed, not only on Scotty's explanation of the fight, but the prelude to the fight, itself. Hysterical!
Two from the DS9 ep "Body Parts"
1) the DS9 crew rallying around Quark to help him reopen his bar at the end.
2) Kira becoming a surrogate mother for Miles and Keiko, who welcome her into their family. Favorite moment: Molly asks Kira, "Are you my aunt now?" and Miles answers "Sounds right to me."
YES and YES
I always loved the Worf promotion scene in Generations because there's a brief moment where they exit the holodeck and are on the Enterprise's bridge in 18th/19th century sailing uniforms. I always thought it'd be cool to see a sci-fi where they had really classic uniforms like this.
Then pray that somebody, someday, manages to put Honor Harrington on the big screen.
I gotta say, the original series had the most warm hearted, family, and silly feel good moments of any Star Trek series. Of course, each of them has a unique charm. Star Trek really makes you feel good when life gets you down. I know i'm late to the party, but thanks for this channel.
One of my favs is the parting conversation between Picard and the Romulan commander at the end of "The Chase". After much hostility & bickering among Klingons & Cardassians, it was such a ray of hope:
ROMULAN: Captain, my ships are leaving orbit for Romulan space. Until our next encounter.
PICARD: Until then.
ROMULAN: It would seem that we are not completely dissimilar after all, in our hopes, or in our fears.
PICARD: Yes.
ROMULAN: Well, then. Perhaps, one day.
PICARD: One day.
My Mom is the actor who plays commander Harkins, Richard McGonigle's hair dresser. In person his voice is significantly deeper. It's so cool to have meet someone that has been in Star Trek.
Voyager makes it home to earth should have been at the top of this list. It was the driving force of every character on the ship and whether they'd make it back or not was the main question for the shows entire seven year run.
I’d say yes…if it wasn’t for the fact that it ended too fast. They didn’t give us enough of that.
@@RAdaltonracer everyone, including the cast wanted to see them beam down to Earth. Being greeted by Starfleet ships and over the viewscreen just isn’t enough
Best finale ever of Star Trek. So many tears! THEY MADE IT HOME OMG! Right into Earth’s lap
For me, Endgame was a very bittersweet end, yes, they made it home (albeit rushed and haphazard, cos they were slated for cancellation), but, that's all we got, no reunions, no parties, no celebrations, no cheering crowds to greet the famed "longest away mission" ship, just "Right, we're home, end credits!!!", and that was it until we saw Seven beaming aboard the La Sirena in STP, so many stories that could have been, but, weren't... :(
It really didn't matter much to me. The only question was "will they cancel it before they get home?" And even that wasn't much of a question. It was almost certain that they'd have gotten just enough warning about cancellation to throw together an episode or two that conveniently gets them home so as not to leave it hanging.
There was really never a doubt that they'd get home. And there wasn't much doubt as to who would survive the trip, either. Star Trek has always been really kludgey and plot-armor heavy.
As usual, DS9 is a bit underrepresented here so here's just three of my Feel Good Moments:
1) Bashir and O'Brien drunkenly singing "Jerusalem" and O'Brien finally admitting that he actually values Bashir as a friend.
2) Every father/son bonding scene between Benjamin and Jake Sisko.
3) Everyone, including Quark, coming to see Kira off when she is recalled to Bajor in the season two opening three-parter.
Every time that Quark admits that he loves his brother Rom.
OH MY GOD!!!! I forgot about that!!!! - "These are . . . These are my friends"
@@charlesjohnson7458 That's the one. :D
A missed opportunity for the Star Trek team was to tell us what happened with Dr Gillian Taylor once she came to the 23rd century with Kirk and the gang. All we knew at the end of The Voyage Home was that she was assigned to a science ship. It would have been great to get more of her ongoing story, especially her adjusting to life in the future.
I would say an honorable mention should go to Deep Space Nine episode "Badda-Bing, Badda-Bang," where the crew of DS9 go into the holosuite to save their beloved self-aware holographic friend, Vic Fontaine, by tricking the mobsters who are out to out him from his lounge. While initially reluctant, Capt. Sisko (who resisted because of his experience with racism in mid-century U.S.) joined them for the caper. The whole thing ends with a nice duet with Vic and Benjamin Sisko, who shows that he's got some singing chops, delighting the crew, all gathered together for now. In a show that could get pretty dark, this was pretty heartwarming, I'd say.
You're right Geordi, that wasn't funny...
It was HILLARIOUS!
I’m one of those outliers that ended up really enjoying Voyager (once it was on streaming as opposed to a weekly program), especially starting with Scorpion. Pathfinder ended up being one of my favorite episodes of the series, but I think that it hits even harder if you’ve watched “Message in a Bottle” too.
At the end of the episode The Doctor is able to tell the crew that Voyager had been assumed lost and destroyed, but now Starfleet knows they’re alive and heading home, and now their families and loved ones know they’re alive as well. Starfleet is now doing absolutely everything they can to help Voyager get home. Kate Mulgrew was fantastic, as the captain trying very hard to remain stoic but the emotion flooding into her voice after the first contact with home they’ve had in the entire series.
“60,000 light years… seems a little closer today” was a great line. I think Pathfinder overshadows this episode because it’s literally a direct sequel to it, but Message in a Bottle was quite good too. If you had been watching since the first season, it’s an EXTREMELY satisfying moment.
I love the moment when Janeway realizes they've received letters from home.
Picard finally having a son was Soo satisfying finally a beloved character has a legacy Ellie is just so beautiful and I love your pigtails ❤
I would nominate DS9's "The Visitor." Is it one of the best ST episodes ever? Yes. Were my husband and I bawling at the end? Again, yes, but Jake saved his dad (and reset the timeline,) so those tears were as joyful as they were sad.
I literally lol’d when you said “jump the phaser.” 😂 I’m gonna use that.
One of my favorite Star Trek feel good moments: The interaction between Tom and Harry at the end of 'The Chute'
Hell yes to a new series of next generation
"Take Me Out to the Holosuite" is honestly one of my favorite episodes of Trek.
As controversial as Disco still is... there's no denying that Michael Burnham's promotion to Captain would apply here, both from a narrative and meta perspective.
From a narrative perspective, Burnham ended up starting at rock bottom following the Battle of the Binary Stars. And she then eventually worked her way back into reinstatement, eventually becoming Captain of the Discovery-A.
And from a meta perspective, Sonequa Martin-Green up until that point never got to sit in the captain's chair because, in-character, Burnham didn't feel like she deserved it. But at the end of Season 3, both actor and character were overjoyed to finally take that seat.
If that's not a feel-good moment, I don't know what is.
Oh Picard has to be setting up a new series, they've practically assembled the entire young avengers at this point
This video came out a week too early. Picard's episode 9 "Võx" with the reveal of the restored Enterprise D and the TNG crew returning to the immaculately remade bridge. This made us all feel amazing and even emotional ❤🖖
Those WERE heartwarming.
William Shatner's hair under water was the best special effect in the whole movie.
“Vegan beef”. I lost it. Had to rewind. 😂😂😂❤
Thank you, It's not often I have a smile on my face through an entire RUclips clip.
Well, I missed 2 scenes from Lower Decks.
1) Boimler coming back to the Cerritos after his time on the Titian. Mariner running towards him for a lovely hug and the gang sitting in the bar warmed my heart so much.
2) the End of 'An Embarassment of Dooplers' in the bar on Station 25. It made me cry.
You forgot the heartwarming reunion of Data and Spot at the end of Generations! 🥲
I like that Max was actually the best baseball player on the cast.
Barclay's Midas, not Mutara array. And I agree. Totally cried at that.
"All's well that ends whale" got me good! I love being "punny" myself! A big thumbs up from me! 👍
Keep a docking bay open for us....that makes tear up every time.
As i recall in Star Trek Voyager, Admiral Paris exact words were "Tell him, tell him i miss him and i'm proud of him"
I've never thought about this before, but when Picard learns of his relatives' demise in "Generations", who told him that so bluntly? His sister-in-law? I think Starfleet would have informed Troi as the ship's counsellor to break the news to him gently and offer emotional support.
He probably heard about it from a Darwin Awards notification.
"Family too stupid to install a fire-suppression system in their home. Ends exactly how you expect. Condolences to the only surviving member of that family, Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Enterprise."
There’s the DS9 episode with the Noh Jay Consortium! Very heartwarming!
I wish you had included one of two moments from Lower Decks: Either the Cerritos swooping in at the last minute to save the Archimedes (after an awesome sequence of the entire crew pulling together) at the end of Season 2, or the rest of the Cali-class ships doing the same to save the Cerritos at the end of Season 3.
ST Nemesis was awesome when B-4 (first gen Data) started singing “Blue Sky’s” at the end… so Data might not be all the way lost.
"Already has vegan beef" I love it! 🤣
I HAVE to give a shout out to the moment in Generations when Data finds Spot amongst the wreckage of the Enterprise.
My favourite emotional scenes are.
When Spock dies in star trek 2, and when kirk looks at Spock’s empty chair at the start of star trek 3.
Star Trek 4 the voyage home at the end of the film, when Spock stands with his shipmates when the federation president is about to pass sentence.
The Inner Light, at the end when Picard holds the flute close and then starts to play it.
Relics. When Scotty was trying to save the other crewmember, Franklyn, who was in the transporter buffer with him for 70 years.
Best of both worlds. Riker asking Picard's chair in his ready room, ‘What would you do?’ And Picard staring out the window at the end after he had the borg implants taken out.
The Drumhead, when Picard gives a speech about civil rights and the
Outburst Admiral Norah Satie has when he mentions her father.
The Offspring, when Data loses Lal. He gets her back in the star trek book ‘The Light Fantastic’
Kila Marr listening to Data talk in her son’s voice then later on destroying the crystalline entity thinking it would've made her son happy
When data must keep the secret in Clues
All Good Things, the speech Picard gives at the end of the episode to the past timeline crew about him trusting each of them with his life and needing a leap of faith. The talk Q and Picard has at the end of the episode, ‘Q, what is it you are trying to tell me?’ Q leans in to speak, then smiles and pulls away.
The Visitor, at the end when old Jake dies.
Tuvix, when Tuvix tries to reason with people on the bridge before Janeway takes him to sickbay to be turned back into Tuvok and Neelix. And the look on Janeway’s face when she walks out of sickbay.
Message in a bottle. When the doctor tells everyone at the end of the episode that he spoke to Starfleet command and said that they are not alone anymore
Timeless, how Harry does everything he can to undo the timeline.
The acting by Garrett Wang though the whole episode was great, as was the episode.
Pathfinder, when a two way comlink is made with Voyager and the Janeway telling them to keep a docking bay open for them.
Before and After, when Kes is trying to tell the captain at the end of her flashbacks, in Caretaker when she and Neelix want to join Voyager, that she is traveling backwards in time.
Always good to be reminded of the fun in Trek!
The moment of Seven of Nine talking to Icheb as he wakes from surgery to give her his cordial node which saves her life. The moment Data reunites with Spot at the end of Generations.
I think that odo and kira's first kiss was very heart warming
DS9- The 'Many friends' scene from the end of 'Body Parts'
I've only watched the intro but istg if Q making Data laugh isn't on this list, I'm gonna lose it!
...son of a b...
For me admiral Paris message to Tom Paris and La Forge telling the selectively bred scientist that it was the technology to help a blind man see is what saved the lives of a civilisation that would of never let him been born.
What about when Data finds Spot buried under all that rubble in Generations. I can't help but cry during that scene.
TNG- "The Emissary:" The one and only time that Worf won a poker game.
How do we not have the bit where Data finds Spot alive and well in the Enterprise D wreckage?
Loved star trek ❤️
For me it was Voyager blowing up a Borg cube as they arrived home to Earth.
This could be a Top 20 list or even more, maybe even separate lists for each series.
T'Pol grieving over the death of hers and Trip's daughter. Even Vulcans feel emotions, bur have to contain them or get overwhelmed. As stoic as she's trying to be, she showed emotions by crying when her mother died and when she thought Cpt. Archer had died. Not only did they go to find her, but rescued her despite that she had disabilities and was dying, but that she died when on the Enterprise NX-01. Trip comes and tells her that one day humans and Vulcans can have children together one day. She takes his hand and holds it in a gesture of goodwill and hope. This would later lead to Spock in the future. This was a Vulcan who wouldn't even touch him, didn't even like humans at first. Over time, she allows Archer to hug him and helps Shran, an Andorian, rescue his daughter. Even though the series was cancelled, becomes Cpt.of the Endeavour and she and Trip get married to have children in the novels.
The Trouble With Tribbles.
When Scotty beams the tribbles onto the Klingon ship. Ship wide feel-good moment.
T'was no tribble at all!
This has nothing to do with the video itself but it's interesting that Ellie looks identical to how she did in her cameo on the ups and downs video, because it implies that both videos were shot on the same day. Interesting insight into the production and scheduling of their content.
just an FYI: Terry Matalas is pushing for a sequel spin-off of Picard season 3 called Star Trek Legacy
Ah, Doctor Bruce Maddox. It's literally criminal that Doctor Jurati was never charged or faced judgment for his murder.
She should have been thrown out of an airlock.
No no she did.
I forget exactly where in ST:P S2 but it was delivered as a throw away line that she was found not guilty by reason of post mind meld psychosis.
My favourite is Tasha Yar’s monologue at her own memorial
Nog- “What do I do, what do I do!?”
Worf - “Find him and kill him!” 😂😝
Great video, and love your eeyore shirt
The new no. 1 best feel-good moment has got to be the TNG command crew back on the Enterprise D. That beats all for me.
I think one of the greatest things about this new season, besides being the best thing from Trek since the end of DS9, is the fact that we have confirmation, in this very season, we learned that Geordie, has finally lost his virginity.
Ya gotta love the Eeyore jumper!
So good
10:28 ah crap... here we go, j'en ai encore des larmes
ST6: "Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning."
TNG Measure of a Man: Bruce Maddox calling Data 'he' for the first time and admitting he's remarkable.
LD No Small Parts: The USS Titan swoops in to save the day.
LD The Stars At Night: The entire California-class fleet arrives to defend the Cerritos from the Aledo.
PIC S3: The end of episode 9 and the end of episode 10!
"quite literal dark turn" *LOL*
Star Trek 2: WoK's ending Kirk monologue, followed by Spock's excellent Final Frontier, to the best theme song James Horner ever wrote..
The California class Roll Call from Lower Decks before they take out the U.S.S Alido!
What about TNG S6E19 Lessons? For me, the whole episode is a feel-ggod-moment. I mean; finally, Picard got his break with somebody he enjoyed spending his free time for the whole episode... to bad it could not be integrated into the whole story line...
TINYKID! The best voice on the internet!
You missed a very important one: No1 Star Trek Feel Good Moment: loging in on youtube and see that Sean or Ellie are presenting another new TrekCulture video.
They are definitely making another show with Jack, Steven of Nine and Rafi on the new Entreprise. I can't wait
Well I hope there'll be a spin-off series after Picard season 3, and the main characters should be Jack Crusher and Sidney La Forge.
The actor who plays Capt. Shaw wants his own spinoff so maybe
thank you so much for the picard season 3 spoiler warning. love you for that
Now that IS a Fancy Dan!
I'm not crying into my Romulan ale, you are...
Second! TrekCulture Videos are always a great watch; so is WhoCulture!
Saddest moment of all time: When Kirk killed the Gorn. Every Gorn woman knew that she'd never again get a diamond wedding ring.
A new series post Picard Season 3 could easily be entitled Star Trek: The New Generation. Captain Shaw at the helm, his character ready well established, job's a good 'un xx
I have been on a trek beak but I am thinking I’m back. Thanks for this video 🖖
