In this episode of Trekking Through Compliance, we consider the episode By Any Other Name, which aired on February 23, 1968, and occurred on Star Date 4657.5.
A landing party beams down to investigate a distress call, and two “perfect” human life forms register and put in an appearance. They are members of the Kelvin Empire from the Andromeda Galaxy. They want a return trip home, which will take some 300 years, and take control of the Enterprise to accomplish this. They are subjected to some humorous adventures and emotions to which the Kelvins are dismayed by their human responses and fearful that they have betrayed their form and culture by taking human form. Kirk and Spock, therefore, convince them to work with the Federation to find a habitable planet in the Milky Way for their people and return control of the Enterprise to Kirk.
