I'm pretty sure there's absolutely no correlation between two cultures developing along similar lines, and two planets having identically-shaped continents.

The Nazi planet!

(Thus cleverly I turn back the clock!)

Let's remember that Kirk was shocked by the discovery of the planet in "Miri."

Two planets having the exact same plate tectonic movements is just too wacky. I mean, everything would've had to happen exactly the same. Like, same solar system and same things impacting and- I'll stop there for the non-geologists in the crowd...

Thanks, doctor.

Worlds of the Federation postulated some sort of magical quantum phenomena which the Earth (or I guess Miri's planet) passed through, duplicating it. Which wouldn't be the strangest (or for that matter the least plausible) thing to happen in Star Trek.

Of course it also postulated direct special creation by God, so, you know.

Perhaps the Preservers were more advanced than they let on?

Star Charts has the planet as a "terraformed duplicate" of Earth believed to have been created by the Preservers. Which makes about as much sense as anything. I guess.

(These fragmented sentences are really bad English. And I should know, being an English tutor. See there, I just began a sentence with a conjunction. Scandalous.)

And the same sentence has a somewhat dangling modifier, for that matter.

Lets also remember that "Miri" was a pretty shity episode.

So were the "Nazi Planet" and the "Gangster Planet" episodes.
...most of TOS, really. [Wink]

Anyone who doesn't like "A Piece of the Action" has my pity.

You don't think we would have done that years ago, if we could?
