* EvenEvilHasStandards: His immediate goal is similar to Khan's in the previous film, but where Khan was ruthless and willing to resort to senseless torture and murder to get his way, Kruge tries to keep enemy casualties to a minimum, initially because he needs prisoners who can explain Genesis to him, but he at least sounds willing to take Kirk's crew captive rather than destroy them outright. He's even willing to give Kirk ''two'' full minutes to announce his surrender to his gallant crew. On the other hand, and again unlike Khan, Kruge is very much a BadBoss to his own crew, as the unfortunate first gunner can attest to. Then again, the gunner not only destroyed the ''Grissom'' instead of just crippling it, he dared to say that it was a lucky shot, so Kruge had a reason to be awful to the gunner.

* TooDumbToLive: You would think that after the first Klingon gunner ignored the order to just cripple the ''Grissom'' and instead destroyed it, he’d have the sense to apologize when Kruge yelled at him for ignoring Kruge’s order. But no, he just called it a “lucky shot”, and was promptly shot by Kruge. It’s even worse in the novelization: Kruge tried to get him to [[DeathEqualsRedemption commit suicide so that the gunner could at least regain some honor]], but the gunner refused and was killed anyway.
