Most 'emotional' event in Cult?

Ok, so I'm currently working through my old Buffy DVD's and I'm up to the end of Season 2.
I'd forgotten how emotional the big finale was! I was almost in tears about the whole thing.
So, was just wondering, what other events would you vote for as most emotional in a cult TV series.
I can remember being very very upset over Adric's death in Doctor Who - but I was about 8 at the time.
This is for TV series and not films - because films are generally jam packed full of them anyway.

Series 1 of the new Who. Particularly Eccleston's last scenes, played so well by Chris and Billie, the whole thing had me welling up. Also the Father's Day episode. How could anyone not be affected by that? Some of the best TV of the last decade.
Doctor Janet Fraiser dies.
Gaeta's last words are, "It stopped," a reference to the constant pain in his amputated leg.
Gaeta's Lament
A tribute to the tragic life of Lieutenant Felix Gaeta:
Nick Cave - Mercy Seat (BSG: Gaeta)
R.I.P.
I had no idea the evil character and what they would do, so found out at the same as Jack.
Usually I wipe away a little surreptitious tear when watching an emotional scene. With this bit I was weeping buckets!:eek: It was inevitable but so sad!
Also - Kara saying farewell to Sam before he flew The Galactica on it's final journey - 'See you on the other side'
I was a wreck when Laura died.
Hurley saying goodbye to Libby, Charlie in the Looking Glass, the phone call in The Constant, Sun at Jin's grave, Kate saying goodbye to Aaron, they all somehow made my eyes get a bit wet.
Doctor Who - Stolen Earth/Journey's End
Torchwood - Children Of Earth
BlackAdder Goes Forth - Last Episode
Enough said
Great writing, stellar acting,very emotional - the best death scene I've seen so far, and I've seen a lot.
Best mourning brother scene ever
Another was the "Company Man" episode of Heroes where the Bennet house gets nuked. That was pretty emotional.
And most recent was the last episode of Prison Break (not the Final Break) just when all the gang (minus Michael) walk over to Michael's grave and then onto the beach. I was crying quite a bit at that and i wish they'd just kept it at that.
Fred becoming Illyria while Wesley was there.
Charlie's death in Lost.
Simon's death in West Wing.
Shane dropping the grenade in Lem's car in The Shield.
Agree + frobisher killing his family + Jack killing his grandson
Plus i'd like to add DW Doomsday with the whole Rose+Doctor seperation thing, DW Journey's End (whole episode really :eek:)
And LOM ending when Sam jumps off the roof, and the Sam+Annie "Stay" bit.
And A2A:
Gene: I thought you an' me, we 'ad a connection
Alex: We do
Gene: You can't tell me the truth
and Gene shooting Alex
(sorry, Gene Hunt's mightiness is enough for me to getemotional about
Rose telling the doctor she loves him but for him to fade away just as he is about to say it.
The doctor telling donna he has to wipe her memory and that he had such a good time with her and to see all those flashbacks to all the adventures they shared during that season.
Willow screaming, cursing (literally, in a magical way) and covered in blood when Tara is killed by Warren.
The realisation that throughout a whole episode, Andrea was in actual fact a ghost and had died in the plane incident. For Andrea to call her brother and for him to ignore her followed by Melinda telling her she is dead. And to the moment of when she crosses over.
"the hardest thing is this world, is to live in it" - Buffy tells dawn this before sacraficing herself. Gets me everytime. The whole conversation they share sends shivers down my spine especially when the conversation overlaps scenes of the group gathering over Buffy's body.
