Say what?
One hundred years is pretty insignificant compared to the age of a planet.

But the Miri civilization was identical to 1960s Mayberry, and yet dated
from a hundred years earlier. So it was there first.

Now maybe Don Knotts went back in time and messed stuff up, but the Miri
world was the one with identical land masses, so ... it's either the
original or an earlier copy of something else, but no way our Earth was
first.

Same thing for the duplicate civilization in THE OMEGA GLORY. There was
no mention of identical land masses, but if Tracey was right, the good
guys lost a war the the Godless commies more than a thousand years
before, so it's identical civilization is way older than the Miri world,
much less Earth.

Some sort of parallel evolution.

Roughly following the same type of pattern.

IRL something like that actually happens / has happened in biology.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_evolution

Of course development in our beloved Trek Universe is even closer than
that. :-)

The novelisation claimed that Scotty was trying to get Preston to
sickbay but the elevator screwed up due to damage during Khan's
attack.

And Dr. Marcus. Apparently birth control isn't much of a thing in the

That would have been a nice thing to see, too. It just seems unfortunate
that, like the transporter business, a minute or two of time spent on
the pretty light shows couldn't have been used for this sort of
explanation instead.

And yes, I'm sorta blurring my complaints about the first two movies,
but that's because there's a common theme to it: visuals are nice, but
not at the expense of head-scratching stuff that goes unexplained.

Getting preggers with a idjiot son might have been part of the campaign

I think the studios view it as "if you can pay enough attention to the
story to find head-scratching stuff to complain about, the visuals
weren't doing their job."

"Omega Glory" is the only Trek episode that was written top to toe by
Gene Roddenberry, from his own idea, without any rewriting by anybody.
And it shows.

something like 'Tiberius'?

So Gary was poking holes in Kirk's Starfleet-issued condoms while
keeping him well stocked with the latest in smooth jazz? What a bastage. :)

I'm starting to think that you might have a cynical perspective on this
sort of thing. :)

Where Kirk is concerned, there doesn't seem to be a ton of longevity
when it comes to things like "best friend" and "love of his life."

You'd think that would keep me from being disappointed very often, yet
still I am.

He could at least have fixed Kirk up with somebody that actually *liked*
Kirk.

Could be that he did know, but wanted to tease Kirk, who in the academy
was considered a 'walking stack of books' and very disciplined. Maybe
even 'robot' like in his eyes. Remember the 'R' that robots got in their
name in Asimov's robot novels?
Okay. Reaching now.

Maybe it was something like Mitchell thinking, "I know there's an R in
