* Also from "Yesteryear", the glimpses at Spock's childhood. The poor guy has been getting mocked and humiliated since long before what the original series shows. It gets even worse because [[WellDoneSonGuy Sarek]], rather than being annoyed at the Vulcan children for (illogically and emotionally) picking on his son, gets disappointed at Spock for not being more Vulcan. Oh, Spock, you StoicWoobie, you...

No meta moment, see this query. No spoiler tag in moment page either, see Spoilers Off. YMMV can't be played with. And remove meta moment.


* Subverted in "Yesteryear" in that when Spock decides that his mortally wounded pet sehlat has to be put down, that is the moment when he embraces the Vulcan way of emotional control and logic.
** Played straight in that it's a heartbreaking moment for Amanda; and also to [[spoiler:Adult]] Spock, when he comforts his dying pet.
*** It'd probably hit extra hard for someone who had to have a pet put down. Hard enough a call for an adult to make, and here the decision has to be made by a seven year old child. Yeah, a Vulcan child, but still...

* In "Beyond the Farthest Star" the villain is an energy being that has been alone for 300 million years. After it is defeated, its despairing pleas not to be left behind once more are [[CryForTheDevil surprisingly heartrending]].

* In "Pirates of Orion", [=McCoy=]'s reaction when it's found that the medicine needed to save Spock has been stolen by the titular Orions, and there seems to be nothing they can do. The animation's substandard quality doesn't provide for much facial expressions, but the dialogue's tones reveal the doctor's frustration and helplessness. After all, it is a physician's nightmare - he has made the diagnosis, he knows the right prescription, and still there is no way he can save his patient [[VitriolicBestBuds who happens to be one of his closest friends]].

* Near the end of "How Sharper Than A Serpents Tooth", the crew manage to subdue Kukulkan. Though the victory is slightly bittersweet. Kukulkan sees the error of his ways, but decides to head off into deep space to live the rest of his long life alone.
