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.

1) there is no such thing as a Star Trek nerd moment! Star trek is plain cool!
2) i only cried on the inside!
