Miri premiered

October 27, 1966 –


The Star Trek episode where the Enterprise discovers an exact duplicate of Earth, where the only survivors of a deadly plague are the planet’s prepubescent children, Miri premiered on this date.

The girl held by Kirk as he rushes to the lab with his newly-recovered communicator is played by William Shatner’s daughter Melanie Shatner. Leonard Nimoy was asked to allow his children to appear as extras but Nimoy refused to let his children be involved in show business. His son, Adam Nimoy, did grow up to become a television director, including a few episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
