As Captain Kirk once said, "This is gonna be hashtag totes emosh".

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!

Data's speech to his daughter Lal just before she died is for me one of the most emotional scenes in ALL Star Trek

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.

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!

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.

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.

Any scene with Spock smiling really makes me feel good.

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.

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.)

How did you not put Data finding Spot at the end of Generations on this list?!!! That scene brings up tears every time!

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.

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.

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.

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.

The last episode of Picard series 2 where Jean-Luc goes and hugs Q just before he sends them home was missed

[jocec]

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..."

[bonusbaby]

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😭

[QuintusAntonious]

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.
