TV review - "Star Trek ep 2 - "Charlie X" (1966) ***

A really good episode, anchored by a very strong performance by Robert Walker as a strange kid picked up off the planet. He has weird powers and starts hitting on a crew member Janice Rand - it's quite a good ep on the issue of creepy stalkers.

There's camp factor with a shirtless Kirk wearing tights teaching Charlie/Walker how to fight. Spock gets beaten up. Uhura sings at a cafe. Ah, the 60s... But a strong episode.
