I'm not prone to overt displays of emotion, but I can remember two occasions where I was reduced to tears at the end of a TV programme, and both were for similar reasons.
The first was the end of "Blackadder goes fourth", when the main characters went into battle and all got killed, then the picture faded into a field of poppys.
The second was the end of the Doctor Who episode "The Family of Blood", where old Tim Lattimer was sitting in his wheel chair at a remembrance ceremony. He looked down at the watch the Doctor gave him all those years ago before he fought in the war, then looked around and saw the Doctor and Martha standing nearby paying their respects.
My grandfather fought in the first world war and my father fought in the second, so things like that which remind me of all the brave people who sacrificed themselves for our freedom always stir my emotions. I think the fact that those scenes were included in two of my all-time favourite TV shows, combined with how well done they were, served to maximise the emotion I felt in those two cases.
Yes, there was one show that made me cry… Lost…. Because it was so painful to watch, I cried and wished I could get that last 4 hours of my life back!!! I only saw 4 episodes but it felt like 4 seasons!
I know, I’m prepared for all the thumbs down I’m about to get for bashing Lost. :P
Well, let me think seriously for a moment… I remember watching a show and there was supposed to be an emotional moment, they had the dramatic music playing and whatnot… I just couldn’t help but crack up laughing at the corniness of it all. I know the directors and writers of the shows try so hard to make things sad and dramatic but then they try too hard and in the end the shows just end up being extremely corny and painful to watch.
That being said, one show has been successful with the emotional department, Doctor Who has made me cry a few times. I cried at the end of The Fires of Pompeii when the Doctor went back and saved the family. I cried at the end of Planet of The Ood. Oh, I could go on and list every time Doctor Who has ever made me genuinely cry, but that might take a while. So, I’ll end with the line that made me start sobbing in Voyage of The Damned. The Doctor says:
“Astrid Peth, citizen of Sto. The woman who looked at the stars and dreamed of travelling. Now you can travel forever. You're not falling, Astrid.... You're flying!”
Yes. I am currently seeing a counselor for depression. Its a horrible condition that can be very hard to talk about. If I didn't have to go to work I'm sure I would be housebound. Four day weekends are not a reason to go somewhere but only looked forward to because I don't have to leave the house. Have you hit the part yet where you actually feel like you don't deserve to get better? Well, you do deserve to get better. The hardest part was making the first appointment. But once I was there I found it was easier to talk about things than I ever thought possible - maybe its because there is no emotional investment between you and the counselor. Hang on girl, and find some counseling.
Yes, but it happens very rarely. Only Doctor Who seems to make me cry. The "Doomsday" scene on Dårlig Ulv strand has me sobbing every time I see it, in the most recent episode, "The Doctor's Daughter" when Jenny was shot, David Tennant's performance was stunning, "LOTTL" when the Master dies and in "Family of Blood" when John Smith doesn't want to give himself up to the Family but knows he has to. His rejection of the Doctor was really sad.
Also, the last episode of Torchwood series 2 made me cry as well.
Boston is a superior blend of colonial record and cutting-edge innovation. From the charming cobblestones of Beacon Hill and revolutionary landmarks of the Freedom Trail, to the well-known grounds of Harvard University and Fenway Park, Boston is a prize chest of Americana and with hotelbye you can have the opportunity to know that treasure. Boston is famous it since the "support of liberty" and Faneuil Hall is one of many places must-see just like the adjacent Faneuil Hall Marketplace, a location which includes three long halls: Quincy Market, North Market, and South Market. , Faneuil Hall Marketplace is relationship from early 19th century and is currently occupied with a exciting choice of shops, restaurants, and exhibitions. In great climate, you will find block artists and buskers gaining shows in the square across the market.
I cried a lot during Gilmore Girls. When Jess left, when Lorelai gave Luke the ultimatum and he said no, when Lorelai told Luke she slept with Chris, when Logan left for London, when Rory told Logan no and he broke up with her, and the most of all when in the finale, they show all Rorys friends that threw her the party and Luke. I miss GG!
I get into what i'm watching and empathise with characters.
I cried on Roses last episode in Doctor Who and i was close this week when i thought his daughter died, but i admit to being an over emotional person sometimes, lol

I Usually Cry at the Stories of families On 'Extreme Home Makeover'

I cry at the end of most every episode of Boston Legal when Denny & Alan are on the balcony. Those scenes are so touching...
Blubbed at the end of the first series of "Heroes" when Nathan took hold of Peter, just before he was going to explode, and said, "Are you ready?"
Individual sacrifice to save others always makes me cry.
Was quite annoyed to find that the pair of them had survived in the second series. Felt cheated, as though my tears had been wasted.
I won't make that mistake again. When someone dies they die. There's no coming back.
yes, loads of times
