cook (or mess officer) who exclaims that the turkey-shaped meatloaf in the galley ovens has turned into real turkeys. This was his only appearance in The Original Series. Reception Zack Handlen of The A.V. Club gave the episode a "B" rating. Handlen marked the episode down for its poor treatment of Yeoman Janice Rand and use of the "god-child" cliché, but praised more "disturbing" elements of the episode, such as Charlie's pranks and his eventual fate. In 2016, Syfy ranked guest star Robert Walker's performance as Charlie, as the 6th best guest star on the original series and Uhura's singing as the character's seventh best moment in Star Trek. Legacy The eponymous character Charlie Evans is featured as an adult in the fan-created, non-canon miniseries Star Trek: Of Gods and Men.
