Was Charlie X a Q?

Holy 9 year thread revive, Batman!

The google search, after just viewing this episode (again of course), brought me to these entries. So it felt right to put this here ;-) And Batman is even older than me, first introduced 1940.

Charlie was not a Q, Q's don't start being human. There is another and simpler reason for the similarities between Charlie X, his abilities, and Q. I don't think the Q universe is an idea from the TOS era but comes later. The story about Charlie X inspired the later idea of Q. The story for the first episode in TNG, Encounter at Farpoint, with the introduction of Q has been written by Gene Roddenberry and D.C. Fontana. Dorothy C. Fontana, who died 2019, was also the writer of Charlie X.

Dude, this thread was NINE YEARS OLD. A visit to the board rules would be advisable.

Clang!
