Episode 8, "Miri"

[Nine of Four]

Hogan's Heroes and Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. were filmed there in the '60s too. Sadly, the 40 Acres back lot was sold and has been an office industrial park for three decades. It suffered the same fate as the M.G.M. back lot back in the '70s.

It is indeed upsetting that these lots have been turned into office buildings.

The thing about The Andy Griffith Show was that they framed their outdoor shots strictly to show only the first floor of every building. It made Mayberry seem like a smaller town, a place with no tall buildings. Then on Star Trek you get these high angles revealing the whole structures, and it looks like a different place. Only the most observant Andy fans sat up and said "That's Mayberry."

Those aerial pictures were great, and it was amazing to see just how little of the Stalag 13 and Camp Henderson sets actually existed in real life, as these places always seemed to be much larger onscreen.

Kirk even says, "Not the Earth, another Earth........ Another Earth?". Yet that is never explained.

Nor is it ever mentioned again. The whole "duplicate Earth" thing was just a cheap hook to get viewers to stay tuned and watch the episode.

I like James Blish's adaptation which had the planet as actually a colony of human isolationists that dabbled in genetics gone horribly wrong. No mention of the planet being a duplicate Earth.

This episode inspired my very first fan story.

One line.

"Flint, let me introduce you to a friend of mine, Miri."

So you are trying to say there was a whole nother thread about that aspect of episode 8?

Maybe he's suggesting posters should search the entire board before posting a new thread, even if that thread is years old. I usually just check to make sure it's not listed within an individual section's 2 or 3 pages of recent threads.

Yeah, i just take my chances. I post a new thread and if there is a similar recent thread I just expect someone will poke me and say so.

No, I just recalled a thread with the same theme and pulled up that one for people to read. There was also another one last year at http://www.trekbbs.com/showthread.php?t=158704&page=4

Since we're not supposed to revive years old threads anyway, your approach makes the most sense.
