Wishfire 2 Posted October 9, 2004 I don't remember the name of the episode, but The Enterprise encounters another planet which is 100% identical to Earth, except for the fact that all the adults are dead and only the children remain. Kirk said that teachers and other adults would be sent, but whetever happened to this planet? And what was it named? They couldn't call it Earth, of course.

DrWho42 13 Posted October 9, 2004 They never mentioned the name, but the name of the TOS episode is: "Miri".. One of the various Earth-like planets Kirk has come across... Remember the Hodgkin's Law of Parallel Planet Development. :biggrin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wishfire 2 Posted October 9, 2004 I just gave it some thought, and I remember seeing a book that lists Federations planets and the people that live on them. I think the planet was named "Onlies" after what the children called themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt 0 Posted October 9, 2004 Wishfire, can you tell me the name of that book? Sounds intersting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted October 9, 2004 The books title is: The Cry of the Onlies The name of the Planet was: Boaco Six -- Click For Spoiler a once-tranquil Federation colony, now caught up in the throes of revolution. The Enterprise's mission: re-establish contact with the planet, and determine whether or not formal ties between the Federation and Boaco Six Should be strengthened. Negotiations beteween Captain Kirk and the planet's ruling Council of Youngers are proceeding smoothy, until the atmosphere of goodwill is shattered by the sudden destruction of a Boacan -- at the hands of an experimental Starfleet vessel! Now, in order to prevent full-scale war from breaking out, the Enterprise™must recapute the stolen Starfleet vessel and its abductors. A mission that will require the aid of the galaxy's most reclusive genius -- and bring Captain Kirk face-to-face with the long-buried secrets of his past... It's availabe for a very low price all over the net. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wishfire 2 Posted October 9, 2004 No, it wasn't The Cry of the Onlies. This book had nothing to do with any Star Trek crews (unless it was, say Capt. Kirk who discovered it). This book merely listed all planets known to the Federation, the people who live on, their physical characteristics, and how the planet was discovered and/or how first contact was made. I don't remember what it was called, my mother had it. This was back in '94, so there might be an updated version of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted October 10, 2004 Oh sorry, you were talking about something else. I don't know about that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted October 10, 2004 The planet in Miri wasn't given a name, not officially anyway. This is from the official synopsis at ST.COM The U.S.S. Enterprise answers an old distress signal to find an unnamed planet that is almost an exact duplicate of Earth in the 1960s. A landing party beams down and discovers that 300 years before, the natives of the planet conducted experiments to prolong life, but had instead created a deadly virus. The virus killed all adults by rapid aging and madness. In children, the virus slowed the natural aging process greatly, leaving them in a state of prepubescence for centuries. http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/seri...sode/68684.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted October 10, 2004 I know but it was given a name in the above described book. I consider it canon because the odds of some new story being filmed about it now are astronomical. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
headborg 1 Posted October 10, 2004 I thought the planet was called Mayberry...Jk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Odie 0 Posted October 11, 2004 I just finished watching the episode. Its in season one second disk. The girl, and most likely the oldest, on the planet was her name. The episode's name was Miri. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The episode's name was Miri. 271324[/snapback] She's Kim Darby, she's played in several things over the years. Probably most notably (in my mind anyway) is the John Wayne/Glenn Campbell movie "True Grit". A couple of the children in the class room where Kirk is attacked are William Shatner's own children if I remember correctly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was first published in 1989 and has the Federation and native name of each planet as well as drawings of the dominate life form and maps of the planet and its solar system.

Then again, it's been 10 years since I've seen it, so my memory might be a little frayed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wishfire 2 Posted June 25, 2005 He he, I haven't seen this thread in a long time. So, about planet Miri... was there ever any good explanation (canon or non-canon) as to how a planet that was completely identical to Earth (except that it's natives basically eradicated themselves in the mid 20th century) exists somewhere else?

MrPsychic 1 Posted June 25, 2005 In all editions of the ST encyclopedia, they simply refer to it as "Miri's Planet" and add a footnote about how it didn't have a name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's a mediocre episode for that reason alone, although I'm sure there are those who disagree with me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
