re: Star Trek: TOS Watchers - Season 1 Wrapup *Page 25*

Solid episode - good and eerie. No face girl always creeps me out.

Kirk as a father figure is a nice little subplot, and "Go to your room or I'll pick you up and carry you" is a great moment, considering what he had just seen Charlie do.

Walker did a good job as the awkward Charlie. He actually rufused to have anything to do with the rest of the cast during filming, to emphasize his role as an outsider. It was a memorable performance.

But perhaps he did too good a job. I think the episode may have been better if Charlie were a bit more likeable or sympathetic. It seems we're supposed to feel bad for him when the Thasians take him away, but I always find myself glad that the little creep gets what's coming to him.
