#6: Star Trek: The Original Series, season 1, episode 2 "Charlie X"
Written by Gene Roddenberry & D. C. Fontana, directed by Lawrence Dobkin.
Stardates 1533.6 through 1535.8 (November 2266)
"There are a million things in this universe you can have, and there are a million things you can't have." - Captain James Kirk
The Enterprise meets with the USS Antares to take aboard a passenger for transfer to Colony Alpha V - a young man named Charlie Evans (Robert Walker). Charlie survived a crash when he was three and had been living alone on a barren planet with only the ship's computer to talk to. As Charlie mingles with the crew, he starts becoming angered when people tell him no or ignore him. These are not normal issues with integration into society after spending his whole life alone, rather something deeper and darker within Charlie that threatens anyone that upsets him.
Originally released: 15 September 1966
