So, they did the close-ups quite a lot. They use it very often I must say. Was probably a thing then.
The early episode could be quite odd at times. We get Uhura singing in the mess hall. And I notice that Spock is a bit too emotional, he even smiles (a little).
Charlie is basically a teenager in puberty who tries to make sense of things he doesn't understand. And he wants everyone to like him and be at the center. That is something very relatable and I wonder how much of Roddenberry, who wrote the story, is in Charles Evans. But he is an adolecent with a dangerous talent. He has the power to make people and things dissapear, hurt them and even change them. This is where the relatable meets SciFi.
At the end we learn there's another reason to Charlie's behavior and it becomes very dramatic with him pleading for help from people he just recently threatened and tormented. But one can almost understand his behavior, he's afraid. Again we're shown that you shouldn't judge before you know the whole picture.
The quote that "he will use his power no matter what" and that it will ultimately lead to him destroying them (the crew or all mankind ?) or be destroyed himself, for me, reads that no one person should have the power to force his will upon others.
And on a completely unrelated subject: no matter how often I watch the show - I always go crazy about Rand's hairdo. There, I said it.
