"Star Trek" Miri (1966)

Children Catch A Disease Entering Puberty


Season 1, episode 8. The Enterprise gets a distress call from a planet that just like Earth in every way except the only people there are children. The crew that beamed to the planet and found out that all adults have died from a mysterious disease and upon puberty the children will catch the disease and die as well. The captain and crew have caught the disease  and it spreads fast. This disease also makes an adult angry - causing arguments. Mr. Spock seems to be the only one immune but as he clearly states he's still a carrier and wants to get back to the ship. To make matters worse Miri is entering puberty and starts to have feelings for Kirk... she is also jealous over Janis Rand. She wants to help the captain and crew, to find a cure but she is scared and jealous. Can Kirk find the rest of the kids get their help along with Miri? Can Dr. McCoy find a cure before it's too late?

If you want to see some very bratty and crazy kids... then this episode is full of them. Rather interesting episode how it all plays out.

8/10
