Raise your hand if you cried when Scotty played Amazing Grace on the bagpipes at Spock’s funeral.

Yup. I got teary eyed. But it was more because Kirk got choked up for sure. Also, when I saw the film for the first time I was a little kid and I loved Mr. Spock.
I don’t know, but I do know that it certainly touched us all.
I think it was right before that when Kirk chokes up on “human.”
It’s interesting though, we all have these memories of details …
Is that Star Trek Nerdom or not?
TG,
I hear you.
Elie,
It is a great line.
PT,
I could have sworn that you smear mayo on a pastrami sandwich. 😉
Not being a Christian, I did not recognize the song at the time, so I assumed it was some old Scottish bagpipe tune.
Thereafter, whenever I heard it, I would say, “hey, they’re playing that Star Trek tune!”
The death scene itself is what did it for me.
“I have been… and always will be… your friend.”
1) there is no such thing as a Star Trek nerd moment! Star trek is plain cool!
2) i only cried on the inside!
