We thought the opposite about Serenity – I was fine with Book’s death, but Wash’s just seemed cheap and pointless. I was kind of pissed about that.

I don’t want to be cursed off the face of the planet, but may I mention Star Wars III? I started crying when Palpatine forces Anakin to his knees to take the vows of Sithhood and didn’t stop until the movie ended. Yes, even through “she has lost the will to live.”

Come on, why have only 2 people mentioned The Doctor saying goodbye to Rose? My mum bawled at that, and I just went quiet for weeks. :’(

I’ll admit I cried when D’Argo died in Peacekeeper Wars… but my Mom did too, so it doesn’t count… does it?

Astonished only one person has mentioned Doomsday.

“Am I ever going to see you again?” “You can’t.”

Alican — It’s not that I’m NOT into SG:U — I’m just on the fence over it, and making it earn its keep.

And, yeah, “Out of Gas” really choked me up. That was one of the best hours of television I’ve ever seen.

As for “A.I.,” I just have to come back to that and say, seriously?!? I don’t know, maybe moms got choked up about leaving that little kid in the woods. I found him so obnoxious I totally understood leaving him there. And the end? Argh. If it only HAD ended, instead of dragging on and on and on for so long that, were it even possible for me to feel empathy for that little chunk of metal and simulated flesh, I couldn’t have mustered it out of sheer exhaustion and frustration and a desire to flee the theater forthwith.

But, yes, still I was once young. And I even had a heart–once.

Everyone knew Data was a goner in “Nemesis”: Spiner wanted out of Star Trek.

As for Kirk, as much as I love Shatner, “Generations” is painful in the extreme.

Charlotte, I think we’re the only people who even remember “Batteries Not Included.” I loved that movie as a kid; and yes, it was tears worthy.

Finally, yes, Josh, I was once young. I have pictures of me at four to prove it. I looked just like I do now–same sour expression and everything–only I was even shorter than I am today.

I know Josh is not into Stargate Universe too much, or maybe it’s because I’m new to Stargate series by this one, but “Light” episode of SG:U managed to capture me completely.I was probably too naive to think that but I really believed that somehow they were going to their deaths.
And I remember my eyes being wet by the end of Firefly’s “Out of Gas”. I was touched by Mal’s question “You all gonna be here when I wake up?”
