History Heartwarming / StarTrekEnterprise

* While it's only briefly mentioned, and rather offhandedly. It's pretty awesome that the Klingon Empire will become a member of the United Federation of planets by the 26 century. It also confirms the Orgainians theory that humans and Klingons would become true friends. Nice to see the whole thing come full circle.

* Reed risking his own life to try and save Trip's life in "United".

** In a way it also helps in that, in a way, it eliminates the fears and worries of the Klingon scientists and lawyers about the warrior class taking over.

* The episode "The Forge" from ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise''. Captain Archer and Ambassador Soval, who've never seen eye to eye at any point in the series, stand over the coffin of [[spoiler: Admiral Forrest]], who gave his life to save Soval. Soval, with his newfound respect for Forrest, comforts Archer on the loss of his friend. This marks a turning point in the relationship between Humans and Vulcans.

-->'''Malcolm''': [[spoiler:Pineapple]]?!? That's my favourite... How on Earth did you know???
-->'''Hoshi''': [sharing a grin with Archer] We have our sources.

* It's a borderline-villainous example that's [[UnfortunateImplications best not thought too much about]], but in the Mirrorverse T'Pol asked Trip to help her through her Pon Farr. While his "help" wasn't exactly motivated by altruism, in a blink-and-you'll miss-it exchange it's revealed that T'Pol asked him not to tell anyone, and that he actually respected her privacy. Given the [[CrapsackUniverse nature of the Mirrorverse]] you would expect Mirror Trip to have been bragging about banging the Vulcan. The fact that he didn't says a lot about his character.

-->"I've been told that people are calling us heroes. When it comes to my crew, you won't get any argument from me. But I think it's important that we remember the heroes who aren't with us: the twenty-seven crewmen who didn't make it back. Without their sacrifice, I wouldn't be standing here right now; none of us would. But I'm sure I speak on behalf of my entire crew when I say... it's good to be home."

* In the episode 'The Catwalk', the ''Enterprise'' runs into a severe radiation storm; as a result, the entire crew has to evacuate into the nacelles, which are the only part of the ship heavily-shielded enough to keep them alive. During the hurried preparations, a heartbroken Phlox realizes that T'Pol has only allocated him fifteen square meters for use as an emergency sickbay. Why is this a problem? It's only enough room for three-fourths of his pets' cages.
--> '''Phlox:''' I don't usually like making emotional appeals, but... please. Don't make me choose.

--> '''T'Pol''' Very well. ''Twenty'' square meters.

''pause''

** A scene we almost didn't get. It wasn't in the initial draft of the script, but the writers fought for it and got it in.

-->'''Malcolm''': [[spoiler:Pineapple]]?!? How on Earth did you know???

--> '''Captain Jonathan Archer''': ...to boldly go where no man has gone before.

* In Observer Effect, Archer risking his life by exposing himself to the virus in an attempt to save Hoshi. Also just after that when Trip [[spoiler: temporarily dies,]] Archer rests a hand on his chest in a really tender and [[TearJerker sad]] [[spoiler: goodbye.]]

* Whatever feelings you may have towards the series finale, you gotta love the final lines form "These are the Voyages".

--> '''Captain Jean-Luc Picard''': Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission...
--> '''James T. Kirk''': ...to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life, and new civilizations...
--> '''Captain Johnathan Archer''': ...to boldly go where no man has gone before.

-->"I'm going to ask all of you to think back to the day when this ship was first launched. We were explorers then. When all this is over, when Earth is safe, I want you to get back to that job. There are four hundred billion stars in our galaxy – we've only explored a tiny fraction. You have a lot of work to do. Of all the captains who will sit in this chair, I can't imagine any of them being more proud than I am right now.

* In Observer Effect, Archer risking his life by exposing himself to the virus in an attempt to save Hoshi. Also just after that when Trip [[spoiler: temporarily dies,]] Archer rests a hand on his chest in a really tender and [[TearJerker sad]] [[spoiler: goodbye.]]

* Ambassador Soval actually ''thanking'' Archer for completing his mission in the Delphic Expanse and going one step further by stating that although he initially disapproved of Archer being chosen as captain of ''Enterprise'', he's clearly the right man for the job.

* T'Pol trying to comfort Archer's dog Porthos after the captain dies stopping the Xindi superweapon. Heartwarming all on its own, but even moreso when you think back to her initial reaction upon meeting the captain's pet.

* "Twilight" is widely considered one of the best (if not ''the'' best) episodes of ''Enterprise''. In the climax, Archer attempts to create a subspace implosion to try and reset history and avoid the extinction of humanity. His ship is being blasted to pieces under his feet, his crew is being gunned down left and right by Xindi boarding parties, and the Xindi are on the cusp of completing the final massacre of the remaining humans. All of this, and the former Captain still finds time to tell T'Pol and Phlox to try and escape the ship as the Xindi are only after humans and if this fails, they may yet survive. And the '''truly''' heartwarming part, of course, neither of the aliens so much as budges! Phlox merely looks at Archer, and T'Pol actually joins him in programming the warp core to implode. Archer notices them staying and angrily states, "That's an order!" T'Pol almost casually reminds him, "With all due respect, you were ''relieved'' of duty.".

* For the show-just about the only thing anyone can agree on is how awesome "In A Mirror, Darkly" is.
