Strange Charlie
1st season, 2nd episode. The Antares spaceship rescues a 17-year old survivor named Charlie. Charlie was left alone on planet Thasus at the age of 3 years old and when the Antares finds him they quickly pass him off onto the crew of the Enterprise. Charlie is a psychic boy with a gift - to transmute objects. What happens next are some very strange occurrences when Charlie X gets angry or upset. What are Kirk, Spock and McCoy to do with a boy of such destructive power? What Charlie really needs is a father image but can Captain Kirk handle it?
A really interesting episode with Yeoman Janis Rand given a lot of screen time with Charlie very interested in her as a girlfriend. Kirk gets a chance to reluctantly play the role of Charlie's "adoptive father".
8/10
