I Just Solved "Miri"

[Warped9]

Wait, what plot difference did getting the communicators back make? McCoy tested the antidote successfully without them.

Once the landing party's inoculated, they're under no time pressure.

I haven't watched these shows in decades, so...

What McCoy did was reckless, but also born of desperation. I find it less excusable what was done at the end of the season in “Operation—Annihilate” when they tested the bright light against the creature without Spock having some sort of eye protection and not first running an analysis to determine if they really needed that bright light or just a spectrum of it, which turned out to be the case.

I have the dialogue of some episodes practically memorized (and maybe close to perfectly memorized if I watch them every so often to keep scene order straight where it's not obvious) . . . but "Miri" is decidedly not one of them. Still, is this the ep where Kirk, contemplating the planet on the viewscreen at the outset, says something like "It seems impossible but . . . there it is"?

It's in the Captain's Log opening the first act:
Captain's Log, stardate 2713.5. In the distant reaches of our galaxy, we have made an astonishing discovery. Earth type radio signals coming from a planet which apparently is an exact duplicate of the Earth. It seems impossible, but there it is.

So what? The outcome is the same.

From Return to Tomorrow:

Speaking as one who was there ,Mulhall's opinion was wrong, of course. As aptly presented in Memory Alpha:

Can I call you Dad?

Can I call you Dad?

The choice is yours, my children. Now come a little closer; I must have your body so that I may live, again.

Phttt! What does the globally-challenged need with a starship?

Must I make an example of you? Pain, @BK613.
