Galaxy Quest Made Me Cry at a Comedy and I'm Fine With That

I walked into Galaxy Quest in December 1999 expecting to laugh at a Star Trek parody. Two scenes in and I wasn't laughing at it anymore. Dean Parisot's 1999 film with Tim Allen, Alan Rickman, and Sigourney Weaver is one of the most misunderstood films of that decade. It gets filed under parody. It earns something else entirely. Two scenes make the case, and both of them have been stuck with me for twenty-five years. Which scene hit you first? Drop it in the comments.
