History Heartwarming / StarTrekVoyager

* In "Day of Honor," when Neelix invites B'Elanna to use him as a verbal punching bag, as a solution to her rages, and B'Elanna rejects the offer. The fact that she can lash out at her captain, her oldest friends, and her lover, but just has too much of a soft spot for Neelix, the most peaceful person on the ship...is odd, but oddly believable, and touching.

** When Chakotay is babbling nonsense, clearly hallucinating, and tells Janeway, "...he's got a few kilowatts on me, a few centimeters in height, but I can take him Captain!" His tone of voice suggest he wants to do it for her and the crew. There's something heartwarming about the fact that even when he's too delusional to tell up from down, Chakotay still wants to serve Janeway and the crew.

'''Sulu:''' You better believe it. Helm, engage!

-->"By demanding to end his life, he taught me a little something about my own. He was right when he said the Continuum scared me back in line. I didn't have his courage or his convictions. He called me irrepressible. This was a man who was truly irrepressible. I only hope I make a worthy student."

* Can't remember the title of the episode right now, but the one where Tuvok and Samantha Wildman are stuck in a shuttlepod together and Wildman is afraid she might die, leaving her daughter essentially orphaned. Tuvok gives her a ''completely'' Vulcan-logical speech to calm her down, essentially reassuring her that even if the worst does happen, she can rest in the knowledge that she did her best to raise her daughter right.

** Also in ''Year of Hell'' you have Seven of Nine. After Tuvok was blinded saving Seven from an explosion, Seven acts as his eyes, assisting him through the ship and even offering to help him shave. The conversations they have hint that the reason she is doing this is becoming less out of gratitude/guilt and more out of a growing sense of friendship between the two.

* The scene near the end of "The Voyager Conspiracy" how Janeway convinces Seven to come back to the Voyager.

* The fact that 7 of 9 is the crewmember who takes Naomi under her wing. Yes, Neelix tries his best to be a wacky uncle, and the writers apparently forgot that Samantha Wildman ''survived'' her injuries in her last appearance, but it is 7 that makes a real connection with the girl, and vice-versa.

* In "Death Wish," the rebellious Q (Quinn) seeks asylum on ''Voyager''. He wants to commit suicide - feeling his life is meaningless and that death would create a new discussion in the Continuum. A trial results, with the John de Lancie Q arguing on the Continuum's behalf to re-imprison Quinn. When Janeway rules in Quinn's favor, he is BroughtDownToNormal and made human. He dies not long afterwards from poisonous hemlock - hemlock he couldn't have gotten on his own. It turns out that Q gave it to him to help him with the one thing he wanted most.

* The second part of 'Year of Hell' had a very touching one. When Janeway sends her senior officers to the ships of her allies in preparation for the attack against Annorax, Tuvok stays behind to object. She refuses to leave with them, telling him [[spoiler:the captain goes down with the ship]]. He understands, gives her the Vulcan salute (Live long and prosper) and she returns the sentiment - "Same to you, old friend." Finally, she hugs him one last time, knowing he won't return it, but wanting to express her feelings all the same. AND THEN HE RETURNS IT. Vulcans don't always get human emotions, but Tuvok understands at least one: affection.

--> '''Kellan:''' Your reputation in this quadrant isn't deserved, Captain. For what it's worth... you have made a friend here.

--> '''Chakotay:''' It's about an angry warrior who lived his life in conflict with the rest of his tribe. A man who couldn't find peace, even with the help of his spirit guide. For years, he struggled with his discontent. But the only satisfaction he ever got came when he was in battle. This made him a hero among his tribe, but the warrior still longed for peace within himself. One day he and his war party were captured by a neighbouring tribe led by a woman warrior. She called on him to join her because her tribe was too small and weak to defend itself from all it's enemies. The woman warrior was brave and beautiful and very wise. The angry warrior swore to himself that he would stay by her side, doing whatever he could to make her burden lighter. From that point on, her needs would come first. And in that way, the warrior began to know the true meaning of peace.

** Made even better just before, just when it looks like [[spoiler:Future Kim has failed to save them and a {{Tear Jerker}} is coming. The Doctor suddenly picks him up, dresses him down and gives him an epic pep talk, all the while the Delta Flyer is about to blow.]] This would have been heartwarming enough, but when he tries again to save Voyager by [[spoiler: sending new corrections in to slow them down and it works, [[DyingMomentOfAwesome the last you see is him screaming "YES!" at the top of his lungs just as the Flyer explodes]].]] Another Heartwarming moment right there.

--> '''Kellan:''' You would... sacrifice yourselves to save a people you didn't know two days ago?

--> '''Kellan:''' ... your reputation in this quadrant isn't deserved, captain. For what it's worth... you have made a friend here.

* The scene near the end of "The Voyager Conspiracy" how Janeway convinces Seven to come back to the Voyager.

'''Chakotay''': It means something to me, Captain. It means I've let you down ...and for that I'm truly sorry.

* "Lifesigns", in which the Doctor first experiences love... with a [[TrueBeautyIsOnTheInside nice Vidiian]] doctor. He had given her a holographic form with a healthy appearance to keep her alive, and she was grateful to experience a "body" without the disease, but afraid to go back to her diseased corporeal body. But at the end, it is ''that'' body that he has his first dance with--it was never her appearance he cared about.

---> '''The Doctor:''' And they asked me to relay a message: they wanted you to know [[YouAreNotAlone you're no longer alone]].\\

--> Janeway: Is that really an ancient legend?
--> Chakotay: No, but it made it easier to say.

----> '''Tom:''' You want to know what I remember? Someone saying, 'This man is my friend. Nobody touches him.' I'll remember that for a long time.

--> Chakotay: No, but it made it easier to say.
