Line 148:
 
== Hell Girl ==
* In episode 2 of the live-action ''[[Hell Girl (Anime)|Hell Girl]]'' series, Enma Ai's client is a [[Hikikomori]] whose father has been murdered. There's a heartbreaking flashback sequence in which we see all the times his father talked to him through the door of his room, patiently trying again and again to reach his son. They love each other, but whatever sorrow has taken hold of the boy won't let go. And now it's too late -- he'll never see his dad again, never get to make things right. You'll need to hug someone you love after watching this.
 
 
Line 171:
 
== Heroes ==
* ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'' - the ending of "Company Man". "I love you, Clairebear... (to Haitian) Go deep."
** Also the scenes in 'Cautionary Tales' between {{spoiler|Hiro and his dad}}. Especially the part where {{spoiler|Hiro meets himself as a boy: 'There are some things even Tazeko Kensei cannot change'.}} It didn't provoke actual tears, but it came very close.
** The final scene between Hiro and Yaeko.
Line 198:
** 2. Commercial break.
** 3. {{spoiler|Angela}} hunting down Matt to tell him that if he doesn't come with {{spoiler|her, Nathan}}'s going to die.
** From then on until they found the body were the most gut-wrenching 15 minutes. The only sounds out of her mouth for the rest of the episode were horrified whimpering and " {{spoiler|Mama}} needs to go [[School Days (Visual Novel)|School Days]] on Sylar's ass."
** Matt's reaction to what {{spoiler|Angela and HRG}} are asking him to do and his reaction afterward to what he's just done, showing that he's ''still a good man''.
* Jeremy Greer. God in Heaven, Jeremy Greer. {{spoiler|He accidentally kills his parents with his power to control life and death}}. Bennet and Tracy attempt to make a cover story for him, but the [[Smug Snake]] of a sheriff lets circumstantial evidence decide everything. When Bennet and Tracy do get him out, {{spoiler|an irate neighbor attempts to kill Jeremy as justice. Jeremy, not believing he can ever find a place for himself, kills the guy and refuses to heal him, despite Bennet begging him to}}, causing the cops to re-arrest him. After they bring him in, a deputy takes him out back, {{spoiler|tells him there's no room for freaks in his town, chains him to a truck, and has Jeremy dragged through the streets until he dies.}} The sheer unfairness of it all.
Line 329:
 
 
== [[It AintAin't Half Hot Mum]] ==
* In the last ever episode of ''[[It AintAin't Half Hot Mum]]'', the war is over and the men are demobbed. As Sergeant Major Williams struggles to make conversation, the viewers and Concert Party realize that the army was his life; he has nothing to return to as a civilian. Gunner Parkin invites Sergeant Major to dinner where he can see Parkin's mother (his former love) again.
 
 
Line 418:
 
 
== [[Law and Order: Criminal Intent]] ==
* ''[[Law and Order: Criminal Intent]]'', episode ''Magnificat''. Det. Goren's interrogation of Paul Whitlock, whose wife {{spoiler|(based on Andrea Yates) is being charged for the murder of three of their sons in an attempted murder-suicide.}} You can view the clip [http://thereelvincentdonofrio.com/clips/loci_clips/s4/magnificat.wmv here.]
** Also, the ending of ''Semi-Detached''. You really must watch the episode to appreciate ''why'' it's so sad.

Line 483:
* At the end of the original documentary, it's speculated that while apes may one day achieve a human-like mastery over the environment, the ability to [[Navel Gazing|look outside one's self and contemplate your place in the cosmos]] was an evolutionary accident that will likely never be repeated. Ultimately, it doesn't matter whether anything from the time of humans survives...because even if it does, there will be no one to talk about it.
{{quote| '''Narrator:''' And so, like an abandoned village on a global scale, the Earth will move on without us. There was life before us, and there will be [[Title Drop|life...after people.]] }}
* Then there's the closing perspective on humankind's "reign" over planet Earth: if the Earth's 4.5 billion year existence were condensed into a 24 hour period, man's time on the planet would be ''half a minute long''. And the 10,000 years it would take the earth to wipe out nearly all traces of our existence? ''A fraction of a second''. [[We Are Asas Mayflies]], indeed.
* The [[Inferred Holocaust]] of millions of domestic animals that won't be able to make it outside.
** The seeing-eye dog that continues to follow its daily routine [[Loyal Animal Companion|as if its master was still there by its side]]. The poor thing continues to adhere to its training, ignoring the instinct to raid the cupboards in hunger while it waits for a feeding that will never come. Well-trained dogs will do this almost to the point of ''starvation''.
