Trek Typos

"Away team" in a TOS setting bugs me to no end.

Really? Seems more accurate, as 'landing party' implies beaming down to a planet surface. If you're going over to another ship, you're not landing, are you?

srsly, I can understand why TOS purists wouldn't want terms from another series infesting their show, but does it really matter? Landing party, away team, it's all the same in the end. And like the whole "Enterprise / the Enterprise" thing, is probably just personal preference, in-universe.

I've never liked "away team", They aren't playing baseball

Did TOS ever use "landing party" for missions to other ships? That's a boarding party.

In "Space Seed," the captain said, "The bridge is yours, Mister Spock. Care to join the landing party, Doctor?"

In "The Doomsday Machine," a damage control party beams over to Constellation; later Spock orders the transporter room "to beam landing party aboard."

Neither "The Omega Glory" nor "The Tholian Web" specifically refer to the party teaming together to go away to either the Exeter or Defiant.

ETA: I noticed that Kirk refers to "the" landing party, but Spock omits the article when he said "beam landing party aboard." Efficiency? Consistency? In any event, Captains April and Merrick would have called it a recon party. Oh, the Star Trek that could have been. If only, if only....

Are we now combining the article thing with the landing party/away team thing? Oy vey. I've got a frakking headache!!!!

^ You said TOS and the movies. I took a random sampling and found the opposite of what you claimed. You will need to provide some evidence for your point to be valid.

You misread my posts. I was saying that TOS predominately referred to the ship as "the Enterprise" rather than just "Enterprise", just as your "random sampling" from a movie I wasn't talking about in the first place showed.

You misread my posts.

You are right. I got it totally the wrong way round. My bad.

That's a good catch.

Sorry, had to bump this for "Kai Opoka" and "Michael Pillar" from the DS9 forum.

Sometimes I read old posts of mine and find some typos. Too late to correct them, though.

O'Paka, O'Hura, O'Brien, O'Gawa, sure are a lot of Irish guys in the future.
