One Sentence Synopsis
Kirk creeps on a pubescent girl to win a race against time (and a virus) on parallel Earth.
Scene setup
Oh boy. Kirk and company beam down to an exact copy of mid 1960s Earth (TROPE ALERT) then contract a virus that causes post-pubescents to rapidly age- only the children survived and they are hundreds of years old. The kids left on Planet Lord of the Flies steal the landing party’s communicators and hot blonde yeoman which forces Kirk to creep on a teenage girl- the titular Miri- who then takes the unsuspecting Captain to a hilariously perilous rendezvous.
Should you watch it?
No. It’s an hour where little of substance happens unless willful suspension of disbelief is a hobby of yours. For instance: were there really centuries of food and water available? Was this the only city on Earth II? Why does Jahn (see above) look like he is in his mid twenties? And so on.
