** When you consider that Data can think about a dozen different things at the same time - go back to every episode where someone in Data's position would have had a significant emotional event (like watching his daughter die). How many moments of anger/laughter/anguish was he having at the same time?

* The crash scene. Most of the bridge crew are downright ''terrified'' as they're about to slam headfirst into a planet. The movie pulls no punches either, giving us the [[RealityEnsues logical conclusion]] of bringing children into space, as the audience gets treated to an entire extended sequence of children being evacuated and then screaming for their lives. Data sums it up nicely:

** And ''then'' you remember that, while Veridian Three was uninhabited (not counting the crash survivors), Veridian Four had a pre-industrial civilization on it. All that life, lost. Because one man couldn't accept the death of his family.

** Look closely at the crashed saucer section before it's consumed by the shockwave -- you can just barely make out the survivors vainly trying to run away from the oncoming wave of destruction. And when you consider that the shockwave appears to behave somewhat akin to a concussive blast rather than a fireball, instead of just being burned to ashes in a nanosecond, this means that all 1,000+ people on the ship -- including civilians and ''children'' -- were ripped to shreds and turned into PinkMist.

* Fortunately, Picard and Kirk undo it, but the moment that the Veridian sun is destroyed must be this for everyone on the Enterprise. They barely survived the saucer crash, the ship is in shambles, there is no way for them to get off the planet without someone else coming along and giving them a lift... And then the sun goes dark. Not "night falls," but the sun is abruptly gone.
