Yes, it was one of the episodes that I almost stop watching. I loved her. But
it was nice how it was done where it was not she dies and oh well unlike TNG.

Thank you. After I'm done with the book I'm reading now, I'll need it,
because I'm reading that again.

I remember that too, good stuff. Never did figure why the Deryni of
Gwynedd didn't leave en masse and go to the neighboring countries, some of
which had openly practicing Deryni.
By the way, I remember getting misty eyed later, when Evaine-who, if I
remember had lost a child too--was doing one of the spiritual/psychic things,
and caught a glimpse of the Afterlife. There, she saw her husband and child,
and decided to just let go, while her frantic brother tried to call her back.
that was something...

I hear you, pal.
My own moment-of-tears with the written word came when I first read
Katherine Kurtz's "Camber the Heretic", a scene when a group of psi-gifted
humanoids where being massacred by humans. One of the humanoids (Deryni, their
race was called), Rhys, a doctor with the power to heal, was trying to escape
when he saw injured humans nearby. Being a doctor, he followed the Hippocratic
and stopped to begin healing the person. As he was doing so, he was hit from
behind, a blow that stoved in his head, destroying the part of his brain that
enabled him to heal. His wife Evaine learned this as she went into his mind,
trying to access his power to heal him. All the while, he was still conscious,
feeling himself die, saying his goodbyes to his friends telepathically. ..
marked the first and only time I've ever thrown a book.

Sorry, but the biggest tearjerking moment for me was not in a
movie...It was from Octavia Butler's "Wild Seed," when Anyanwu came to the
conclusion that she was never going to change or escape from Doro, so she
decided to just commit suicide (basically let herself die as she was immortal).
Doro, realizing that Anyanwu was the only constant in his life, breaks down and
pleads with her not to do it because he could not bare life without her (gotta
read the book....I'm not good at explanations. ..in fact, I suck at it....).
Until I read that book, I had never shed a tear over the written word....

The Blade Runner scene is poignant and memorable, can't believe I
forgot that one. But, is it really a "tearjerker" ? It makes me sad, but not
misty-eyed.. .

That's actually a great list. There is one omission I found striking
and that is Roy Batty's speech on the rooftop in Blade Runner. That is classic.
The Serenity choice is a great one. I remember being stunned into
silence and hearing audible gasps when the famous line "I am a leaf on the
wind" is said that last time.
I'm glad they gave B5 some love too.
