On the far reaches of the galaxy, the Enterprise responds to a distress signal emanating from what appears to be an exact duplicate of Earth, only to discover that its entire adult population has been wiped out by a man-made pandemic. Only the children remain, and they too will eventually become infected, but not before Captain Kirk and the rest of the landing party contract the deadly disease first. It’s a race against time to find a cure in an overlooked episode that effectively served as an allegory for the generation gap of the 1960s, but now resonates with much greater significance after the worldwide pandemic of 2020. “Miri” is the “Star Trek” equivalent of “Lord of the Flies,” and it’s an exceptionally well-acted and more powerful episode than it is often given credit for.
