"Charlie X" is the second broadcast episode of the first season of the American science fiction television series Star Trek. Written by Dorothy C. Fontana from a story by Gene Roddenberry, and directed by Lawrence Dobkin, it first aired on September 15, 1966.

In the episode, the Enterprise picks up an unstable 17-year-old boy who spent 14 years alone on a deserted planet and lacks the training and restraint to handle his superhuman mental powers wisely.

more about tv show fringe charlie

From ChatGPT

Charlie Francis is a compelling character from the sci-fi TV series Fringe, portrayed by actor Kirk Acevedo. Here's a deeper look into his role and significance:

🕵️‍♂️ Character Overview
Profession: FBI Agent, second-in-command to Phillip Broyles in the Fringe Division.

First Appearance: Pilot episode.

Last Appearance (chronologically): "A New Day in the Old Town" (Season 2).

Status: Deceased in the original timeline; appears in alternate timelines and universes.

📖 Backstory
Charlie was born on June 22, 1976, and worked for the NYPD before joining the FBI.

He was married to Sonia Francis.

A traumatic early case involved him being shot during a domestic disturbance call, which left a lasting impression on his approach to law enforcement.

🔍 Role in the Series
Charlie was a loyal ally to Olivia Dunham, often helping her navigate the bizarre and dangerous cases tied to the Pattern.

He was known for his grounded demeanor and skepticism, which balanced the more eccentric elements of the Fringe Division.

Tragically, he was killed by a shapeshifter who assumed his identity to infiltrate the FBI.

🌀 Confusing Return
Charlie unexpectedly reappeared in Season 2, Episode 11 ("Unearthed"), despite having been killed earlier. This puzzled many fans.

The explanation: "Unearthed" was a lost Season 1 episode that aired during Season 2 due to scheduling decisions by Fox. It was filmed earlier but broadcast later, causing continuity confusion3.
