Star Trek III: The Search For Spock/Tear Jerker: Difference between revisions

* David's [[Heroic Sacrifice|death]].

** And then there's Kirk's reaction. He tries to sit in his chair to absorb what has happened - only to fall on the floor. The distraught look on his face suggests he's not even aware that he fell.

* The [http://youtu.be/xeLqsvFO31o destruction] of the ''Enterprise'', which is truly the death of a character in and of itself. This is the ship which saved Kirk and crew so many times in TOS, and now they're forced to sacrifice her to save Spock.

** The visual effects company ILM was more than happy to blow up the model, which was oversized and unwieldy for the team.

* Bones' scene with Spock in sickbay, showing that he really does consider Spock a friend/brother.

* Perhaps a bit unusually, KRUGE gets something of a Tear Jerker scene after the destruction of the Enterprise takes the lives of apparently his entire crew save Maltz. The very next scene we see Kruge in, he's hunched over in his command chair on an otherwise-empty bridge, head in his hands, grieving very visibly for the loss of his men. The moment passes quickly, but still.

* "Forgive me, T'Lar. My logic is...uncertain, where my son is concerned." To hear the pinnacle of Vulcan control wrestle with his emotions, and admit that he cares more for his son than for doing the logical thing, it brings a tear to the eye.
