My reaction
Concept:
Story: It works much better than "Charlie X," since the god-like powers are growing throughout the episode, and they manage to write themselves out of it at the end.

Subjective Rating: 8/10 (Great, ). This was one of the show's pilots, so the production values are notably higher than the rest of the series. And the writing is of pretty high quality since they had a lot to prove at that point.
