Androids, turn on your emotion chips; EMHs, update your subroutines! There will be tears!

From the lighter moments to the hard-hitting sci-fi fare to the Move Along Homes, Star Trek has stirred in us a full array of emotions over the decades and continues to do so. In one bingeworthy sitting, we can go from joy to jaw-drop; funny to fear. Then, at times, Trek simply ramps up the settings to 'ugly cry' and phasers us right in the feels.
The franchise owes its endurance in large part to the strength of its characters who we come to empathize with, love, or even hate. It's doubtful you needed to dry your eyes over Dukat or Khan's demise — each to their own, I suppose — but the deaths on this list will surely have you weeping. For the other moments with our favorite characters, we were either sobbing along at their success or sharing in their heartbreak.
Behind each character also lies a talented performer — blessed as we are in Trek with skillful actors — who often draw on their own lives for the emotion required or, conversely, are just as affected as the fans by the story.
So, replicate yourself a box of tissues and some comfort food as we relive 10 moving Star Trek moments that made us cry.
