** When Bones and Chapel first see Spock, showing their joy at having him back, Spock’s expression is utter ''confusion.'' His decision to try for Kohlinar and purge himself of all emotions was a serious mistake. Now, amongst friends, Spock is more lost than ever.

* As selfish as Kirk is acting, the series was pretty clear on how he feels about himself with no command, and when Bones leaves, having told him what he thinks and can actually listen to his advice if he wants, there’s a shot of him with the doors closing in where he’s in the dark alone.

** Indeed, in this movie, it's easy to see (apart from V'Ger) KIRK HIMSELF as the villain, as being every bit the same as the various Admirals and other officials who show up to wrest control of the situation, even the Enterprise herself, from Kirk all through the series - a man who hasn't flown a starship in the better part of two years, hasn't familiarized himself with the ship and its functions, and even openly makes decisions that can and would have destroyed the ship, had Decker not intervened. Two years of admiralty, and JAMES T. KIRK has become the kind of meddling official he once complained about.

** You could say that he does exactly this; he alone ends up providing the crucial link for V'ger to complete what it sees as its mission, and in doing so, saves Earth, at the cost of his own life. Kirk making a point to refer to him as Captain in his report to Starfleet gives hints that history will remember Decker favorably.
