Star Trek Saturday: Season 1; Episode 2: “Charlie X”

Matt | June 27, 2009 | 2:00 pm

A powerful teenage boy wreaks havoc aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise

Wikipedia Notes:   “Charlie X” is a first season episode of the original series of Star Trek, first broadcast on September 15, 1966. It was repeated by NBC on June 1, 1967. It is episode #2, production #8. It was written by D.C. Fontana, with the story by Gene Roddenberry, and directed by Lawrence Dobkin.

The premise for this episode formed part of Gene Roddenberry’s original March 1964 pitch for Star Trek, under the name “The Day Charlie Became God”. When the series entered production, it was assigned to D. C. Fontana to write.

For a while during production, the episode was known as “Charlie’s Law” — a name which survived in the James Blish adaption of the episode for Bantam Books. In a scene in the script which did not air, Charlie’s Law is stated as “You’d better be nice to Charlie… or else.”

Gene Roddenberry made an uncredited audio cameo as the cook who exclaims that the meatloaf has turned into real turkeys.

A shape-shifting, salt-craving creature terrorizes the crew of Enterprise.
