"Beings from the Andromeda Galaxy steal the
Enterprise, technically modify it, and attempt to return home."
They encounter the Kelvans ... yet another race of beings that travel the universe blah blah. They take over the ship blah blah. Been there, done that. The only difference here is that these beings have magic belt buckles ... they press it and it freezes a person or turns them into a cube. The best scene is where the Kelvan singles out two crew members, a black guy and a sexy yeoman girl. He then turns them into cubes and crushes one ... killing them for good. Then he restores the other cube back to a human ... and it's the black guy! How disappointing. Oh and by the way, that sexy yeoman was Julie Cobb (the mother from season one of Charles in Charge).
Of course Kirk must seduce one of these beings. And he picks a good one too. It's Barbara Bouchet aka Miss Moneypenny from Casino Royale. Kirk eventually convinces these beings that they are slowly turning human, this freaks them out and they give the ship back to Kirk. Kind of lame I guess.

I wonder why its called "by any other name" as in "a rose by any other name would smell as sweet"
how about "the super outer space freak-outs with the magic belt attack forever"
that would be a better title
