Charlie X reminds me of (your so-called loving god) the god of the bible. "Bow down and worship me and give me attention or I will destroy you along with casting you into hades." Don't bother quoting scripture to me. I am a former christian who walked away from the christian lie 15 years ago. In otherwords. Already been there and done that and do not want to do that again. Returning to christianity would be like going back to an abusive spouse.
Yeoman Rand played Grace Lee Whitney was sexually assaulted in real life by a Studio Executive---3] Whitney appeared in eight of the first fifteen episodes, after which she was released from contract. She had claimed that, while still under contract, she was sexually assaulted by an executive associated with the series.[4] Later, in a public interview, she stated that Leonard Nimoy had been her main source of support during that time. She went into more details about the assault in her book The Longest Trek, but refused to name the executive, saying in the book, "This is my story, not his."[1]
Yes, the attempted rape scene in The Enemy Within was, unfortunately, a premonition of what was to come for her in real life, which makes this all the more disturbing.
What studios got away with then vs political correctness now astounds me even in light of Purintanical Film Codes then. Comic Books were subject to a censorship code from 1950s to 1980s.
@@raytylicki9001 Yeah, there is a misconception that Hollywood was innocent back then just because of the production code. If anything, they got away with a lot more than they do now.
I love the fact that Spock bashed a bloody big hole in the wall when they went down then cut back to when there are on the floor no damage at all. I suppose the powers that be thought no one would notice, by the way isn't Kirk lovely when he's angry.
Spock was also a Mentat in the Dune universe. I've always been in love with Grace Lee Whitney, a beautiful, classy and intelligent woman. She made my 8 year old male heart go pitter- patter- ... and was my first puppy love crush😉
She lost it though when she saw what Charlie did. I thought it was very un-cool when she slapped him. A huge mistake, which she probably never would’ve really made.
@@mnirwin5112 I know she panicked… you’re right. Don’t you think it was dumb… she was totally acting out of temperament, not as an enlisted, star fleet service member.
0:25 Janice should have slapped Spock instead for putting a crack in her wall. Sooooooo, basically when you're dealing with Charlie, be nice otherwise he will make you... GO AWAY.
I enjoyed watching this episode. I understood Charlie's frustration for failing to befriend a woman he wanted because I had experienced this situation. I never had love with a woman until I was 39 years old. 😱 Teenage boy Charlie is an Incel. He had been alone on the planet and cared for by the guardian. He gave him power. Once aboard the Enterprises, he was not accustomed to the social environment, especially women. Charlie tried hard to befriend the woman he wanted. He got upset after the woman rejected him. That led to the destruction of everything. He felt frustrated, and a guardian finally took him away. Holy Incel power, Batman! 😲
Charlie was absolutely crazy I mean his parents clearly never raised him and if somebody tried defending themselves against him, one frown and he immobilizes somebody which was totally scary
"There's a tyger, tyger burning bright, in the forest of the night"!!!! "Saturn rings around my head down a road that's Martian red!"!!! "Once upon a midnight dreary while I wondered weak and weary"!!
All of Whitney's scenes were shot during the summer of 1966. She was 36 and a Hollywood veteran. She was informed on September 1st that her character was being eliminated, but she was under contract for one more episode. So, she came in to work, hung over, to shoot that final scene, she said. She was so devastated, she tried to kill herself with alcohol. Roddenberry admitted decades later that he made a mistake by firing her. She ended up working as a receptionist to pay the bills.
The Black Mirror Trek parody, USS Callister, refers back to the face blanking scene - and it's even more chilling. Meanwhile, Trek refers back to Twilight Zone's A Good Life (which someone here mentioned). IMO Charlie is one of the nastiest characters in the original series.
Why didn't Kirk just get security to check on Yeoman Rand? He literally just abandoned command with his first officer without delegating anyone else on the bridge to assume command. Unbelievable...
Don't forget what happened in the episode, "Where No Man Has Gone Before" or in the episode from The Next Generation, "Hide and Q". Absolute power corrupts absolutely
"Why?"
"Because I'm telling you to!" This is why I love Kirk!! He's so brave going up against those weaker AND stronger than him.
Total Agree. Kirk is boss. Especially in this episode.
Brave ? He's fucking crazy !
@@ricardocantoral7672
It was Kirk’s only chance to regain control.

Makes me respect him even more
I believe her husband named the man after her death as Gene Roddenberry. Can't remember where I read that though.

haha I love Vulcans
*looks down...* my legs are broken
Simply using the mind to conquer the pain. Vulcan genius
@@bethanycampione3558 Perhaps he broke them painlessly.
@@jaybee2402 Nah, Charlie's a jerk. He causes Kirk pain just moments later. There's no reason for him to break Spock's legs painlessly
Imagine all the funny bloopers and outtakes from this episode.
Jim being the strict father Charlie desperately needed.

Rand kept her cool very well here ... thinking to reach back and turn on the intercom.
She lost it though when she saw what Charlie did. I thought it was very un-cool when she slapped him. A huge mistake, which she probably never would’ve really made.
@@GeneralGeorgeS.PattonJr. Well, it served Charlie right since he was violating her personal space and she was more than right to be mad with him.
@@mr.fleesta7808 Yes… He certainly deserved it… It was a foolish move on her part is all I’m saying.
@@GeneralGeorgeS.PattonJr. No, I think at that point she panicked. Whatever she was expecting after she told him to let her go, it wasn't what he did.
@@mnirwin5112 I know she panicked… you’re right. Don’t you think it was dumb… she was totally acting out of temperament, not as an enlisted, star fleet service member.
This episode was similar to Twilight Zone’s “It’s a Good Life” with Bill Mumy.
0:22 is funny when Charlie gives Kirk and Spock the LOOK of interrupting him with the Yeoman.
Actor Robert Walker, Jr. (1940-2019) father was in Hitchcocks Stranger on a Train.
He gives us a hint that Janice isn't dead. I didn't pick up on this when I was a kid.
0:25 Janice should have slapped Spock instead for putting a crack in her wall.
Sooooooo, basically when you're dealing with Charlie, be nice otherwise he will make you... GO AWAY.
Charlie says "You have to be nice." I respond by saying "Well, you have to behave."
And then you disappear.
This is a pretty scary episode!
0:28 But if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?

no Borg, no Changeling, no Soong Android or Red Angel can compare to the Face-erasing-horror that is... CHARLIE X!
The red angel is just a bad dream from a non-existent parallel universe.

0:29 lol i always laugh at that face and those eyes
lol yeah it looks like he's taking a dump when he does that .
Kirk should have shown Charlie that Gillette commercial
Charlie sending crew folk to the cornfield…Billy Mumy would be proud!
Captain Kirk at his most alpha.
Charlie X.....biggest freakin’ real head in all of Star Trek!
He would have made a good Talosian.
She handled that correctly no equivocation.
0:29 Luigi death stare!
Charlie looks like the real life version of Beavis

Fred from Spongebob SquarePants : My legs my legs !!!!!
What would Charlie’s life be like if he was raised by Vulcans or by Betazoids instead?
Charlie uses that creepy 'nice"" a lot
Charlie x later went on to defeat the blob in beware the blob!!!!
I think Charlie was Billy the Kid in The Time Tunnel
Anton Yelchin as Charlie Evans?
But he's no longer with us
He looks like Gilbert O’Sullivan
@nataliacarrion It's not that, it's just Vulcans don't believe in showing pain.
There's a scene in which Spock is in sick bay twitching in agony and repeating to himself: "I am a VULCAN....There IS no pain...."
I simply adore these sexy young men with strange uncanny powers !
Spock says that his legs are broken, but he seems to feels no pain.
In Spock's own words, "Pain is a thing of the mind. The mind can be controlled."
Oh, he's feeling it!
I liked Cracked Magazine's take on Mr. Spock: "I may not feel emotions, BUT I CAN FEEL THE PAIN!"
My legs they are broken. We laugh at this all the time !!!!
Who's we??
Why didn't Kirk just get security to check on Yeoman Rand? He literally just abandoned command with his first officer without delegating anyone else on the bridge to assume command. Unbelievable...
He knew he was the only one who might be able to stop Charlie.
And he was supposed to be in love with Rand before Whitney was booted off the show.
I can't believe Star Trek predicted incels.
X is a dead god Janus 🌹🌚👍rest in the good news ⚘ Okay bye
Janice
Ultimate incel
OMG, I *wish* that I had powers like that!
GregoryTheGr8ster u do
Don't forget what happened in the episode, "Where No Man Has Gone Before" or in the episode from The Next Generation, "Hide and Q". Absolute power corrupts absolutely
Charlie was always constipated; that was his problem.
Someone did a "Charlie farts" video.
