Charlie X Star Trek Sci-Fi Channel Special Edition Extras

http://apieceoftheaction66.blogspot.com/

About 10 years ago, the Sci-Fi Channel acquired syndication rights for the original Star Trek television series. For years, the shows had been cut down to fit the amount of commercial time needed for current day programs (there was less commercial time during the original 60's run). Sci-Fi fixed this problem by making the time slot a full hour and a half. Dubbed "Star Trek The Sci-Fi Channel Special Edition", the episodes would be supplemented with original interviews with the cast and crew discussing each episode. The interviews and extra bits were especially entertaining since it featured more than just the standard cast but also highlighted guest actors, writers, etc.

I taped each and every episode as they aired (even though sometimes I hit record a little late and missed a minute or two). The interviews and extras really are neat, and since I've never seen them on youtube, I decided to dig out the tapes and start grabbing out all of the extra bits. I've found probably 75% of the tapes so far, and I hope to find the rest eventually. I hope it's okay with Sci-Fi if I post these. I'm just trying to get them out there for those who may have missed these years ago....

These are the extra bits from the episode "Charlie X". Enjoy, and be sure to subscribe to catch them all. Oh, and if you have time, check out my daily blog on all things Trek: http://apieceoftheaction66.blogspot.com/

It's sad that they only cast Miss Whitney (Yeoman Rand) in only 8 episodes. They could have given her another role in the series. She was devestated when they cut her out of the show and it took 30 years to get over it. She would be just as famous as the main characters are today.

I think Grace Lee Whitney looks pretty good for her age. She has had a history of substance abuse, but I'm glad to see her lifestyle has not totally ravaged her looks like some other actresses.

This was a good episode, it originally aired before I was born.

I always wondered who was the actress Charlie rendered briefly featureless during his tirade.

Charlie X was featured in a brief story in the comic book Starfleet Academy back in the mid 90's.

That is most definitely, a girl....

I gotta watch these old shows again someday.

Walker Jr was a great character actor...it's a shame his career never really took off. He was probably compared too often to his more famous parents.

Charlie X....one of the best episodes

Wasn't Robert Walker, Jr like in his late 20'a or early 30's?

So Yeoman Rand was the first "girl" Charlie saw. Boy, talk about being spoiled forever, no other woman would ever measure up.
