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

Go Charlie!



The arse smack had me rollin. As did Kirk trying to explain women.

Spock smiled while Uhuru was singing. I guess we can chalk it up to music distracting him and letting emotions bubble up.

I wonder if the writer stole the idea for Charlie from Stanger in a Strange Land. Charlie and his powers are very similar to Valentine Michael Smith, albeit a jackwagon douche version. Smith was always making people disappear.

Not sure why they thought that holding cell would do anything. They already know he destroyed the other ship which was far away.

What a dick! Poor old lady then faceless lady.


Reminded me of Twilight Zone the movie.

Right about now Piccard would have set self-destruct.

No real consistency with Spock from Where No Man. Spock was all about killing Mitchell as soon as possible. Here he doesn't even mention it. Sure they didn't want to kill a kid but given that is was just a few episodes ago that Spock wanted Mitchell dead at any cost, it is a bit odd he doesn't even suggest it here.


Big floating head saves the day.

I didn't like this one as a kid which is good. It means I didn't remember any of the episode.

Overall not a bad episode. Better than I remember.

One last note. Seems they repeated the story with a bit of a twist in a later episode.
