I gotta second T-Bird’s speech from **The Crow** , and also add on some of what he said just before it… “I _know_ you. I knew I knew you. But you ain’t you. You can’t be you. We put you through the window. There ain’t no comin’ back!. This is the really real world! There ain’t no comin’ back!” ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by RikWriter \* > \*\*Spock’s death in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. \*\* I know it seems cheesy, but I’m agreeing with this. This scene is what makes this Trek film almost universally the favorite among fans of the genre. “It is logical. The needs of the many come before. . . .the needs of the few. I have been. . . .and always will be . . . your friend. Live long. . . and prosper.” Few SF pause their laser battles long enough to reach this level of emotional depth. ---
