Beneath her cool and calm demeanour lurked fierce and passionate fires. As she passed through the wards in her plain dress, so quiet, so unassuming, she struck the casual observer simply as the pattern of a perfect lady; but the keener eye perceived something more than that - the serenity of high deliberation in the scope of the capacious brow, the sign of power in the dominating curve of the thin nose, and the traces of a harsh and dangerous temper — something peevish, something mocking, and yet something precise — in the small and delicate mouth.

->''The Motion Picture'' also contains a few interesting character beats for both Kirk and Spock. In particular, the script acknowledges that Kirk is something of a flawed leader, and [[TookALevelInJerkass a bit of a jerk]]. He arrives on the ''Enterprise'' to relieve Decker of command, but doesn’t notify him beforehand. Decker is understandably upset, and even [=McCoy=] is sharp enough to see that Kirk [[LetNoCrisisGoToWaste is taking advantage of the situation.]] ''“You rammed getting this command down Starfleet’s throat. You’ve used this emergency to get ''Enterprise'' back.”''\\\
Several times over the course of ''The Motion Picture'', Kirk is proven to be incorrect. Explaining why he has been chosen to relieve Decker of command, Kirk points out, ''“My experience, five years out there dealing with unknowns like this, my familiarity with the ''Enterprise'', this crew.”'' Decker rather astutely counters, ''“Admiral, this is an almost totally new ''Enterprise''. You don’t know her a tenth as well as I do.”'' His criticisms are borne out when Kirk [[KnowNothingKnowItAll can’t even find the appropriate turboshaft]]...Kirk is allowed to be flawed as a character, in a way that Roddenberry never allowed with the cast of ''[[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration The Next Generation]]'', and I’d argue that Kirk comes across much better for it. This characterisation would really pay off until ''[[Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan The Wrath of Khan]]'', but it does make it clear that Kirk is more than just a charming rogue. He’s also arrogant and self-interested, characteristics hinted at on the show but never fully developed.

->There is another of those excellent discussion amongst the crew that ''[=DS9=]'' excels at and its probably one of the best because it is about something as real as [[CannonFodder massacring a group of defenceless soldiers]]. O’Brien [[LetsFightLikeGentlemen thinks it is cowardly]], Garak thinks that humans [[CombatPragmatist impose far too many rules on combat]] that make victory a lot harder than it needs to be, and Sisko steps in with the very convincing statement that everybody needs to leave their morals at the door because when it comes to a choice between us and them there ''is'' no choice. That’s what makes him such a good leader – it's not a decision that [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Picard]] or [[Series/StarTrekVoyager Janeway]] could make without [[ContemplateOurNavels soul searching for five years afterwards]], but Sisko sees this situation for what it is and pushes the moral agony to one side for the sake of his men. He tries to talk to the Jem H’adar leader and find another option, but when he realises that these guys will commit suicide to maintain their integrity he still orders his crew to fire on these lambs to the slaughter. It's uncomfortable viewing but absolutely rivets you to the screen.

->Those men who know anything about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun. At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else. You are like fanatics. Your masters, at any rate. At the center of the Light there is a cold white flame, just as at the center of the Dark there is a great black pit bottomless as the Universe.
