What happens when a teenager with godlike powers doesn’t know how to take “no” for an answer? Welcome to Charlie X.

In this episode of Boldly Rewatching, Ty dives into one of the most unsettling early episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series. We’re talking awkward hormones, vanishing crew members, and some truly uncomfortable butt-slapping. Charlie Evans boards the Enterprise with a dark secret—and the crew learns fast that emotional immaturity plus telekinesis is a bad combo.

We break down what works, what’s weird, and why Kirk absolutely wasn’t bluffing when he threatened to carry Charlie to his quarters. From Uhura’s silenced solo to Spock’s cold two-move checkmate, it’s a tense, thoughtful rewatch with just enough side-eye to keep things grounded.
