Into Andromeda Galaxy With Kelvans
11 January 2017
Season 2, episode 21. The Enterprise receives a distress call from an uncharted planet and answer it. Spock, Kirk, McCoy and red shirts beam down. Two of the people on the planet walk up to the group and use a device that holds all the party as still as statues then releases them. Rojan is the leader of these "humans" and he proceeds to tell Kirk and the others they are from Andromeda galaxy and what they want is the Enterprise to get back to there. Next the group is imprisoned, then attempts to escape, a red shirt killed then they are held again in a cell. In order to get back to the ship, Spock goes into deep meditation to appear very ill then Kirk & McCoy tell a guard that they must get to Sickbay or he'll die. One of the Kelvans beam up with Spock & McCoy to watch what happens in Sickbay. Kirk tries to talk the lead Kelvan into getting back to the ship - he agree and all head to the Andromeda galaxy. Now the crew of the Enterprise must find a way to overcome the Kelvans - their only hope, Kelvans are not used to their current human forms.

Another neat episode concerning aliens in human bodies or form. Most intense when they attempt to cross the energy barrier into Andromeda galaxy - once there the situation becomes more intense.

8.5/10
