Hey, I never noticed that before....

Live action only... so, CGI and miniature work are excluded then? Of course not. Canon is flexible in that regard.
Plenty more fuel to the fire here:

The term "intra" refers to being within a set of confines, like the interior of the ship. And as the post below yours details, the line of dialog refers directly to beaming from one part of the ship to another. "Intra-ship" beaming therefore can't mean anything else.
That would be silly.
It would indeed be silly.
I think you know there's a difference between TAS, Threshold, and Enterprise on the one hand and commercials on the other.
All canon. Canon is not a comment on the worth of an episode in terms of continuity. It is simply that class of Star Trek adventure that has been officially produced and aired or been shown in a theater.
"Spock's Brain?" Canon.
"World Enough and Time?" Not canon.
Which is why ENT, JJTrek, and STD aren't canon. Because they don't meet this qualification.
Just think of it more like this thread's third season.
Maybe we've noticed everything.
Canon is what CBS says cannot be contradicted by tie-in lit, I learned from @Christopher umpteen canonthreads ago. He could tell you definitively if TAS is among that which he cannot contradict in his fine novels.

Perhaps you would like to post on a topic more to your liking?
People declare plenty of episodes as "non canon" and even Gene Roddenberry disavowed the 5th and 6th Star Trek films. However, the canonicity of an episode is not determined by its quality as a story.
Those who try and declare TAS as non canon are misunderstanding a brief time in the late 80s after Filmation folded and ownership of its various properties were in doubt, until bought up by Paramount later on. TAS was produced as a continuation of Star Trek, voiced by the actors of Star Trek, written by the writers of Star Trek and had DC Fontana as its showrunner. How many more canon points are needed?
Roddenberry tried to disavow Undiscovered Country? You're joking!!! It's the best of the TOS films I've always thought. Only sullied by ENT trying to rip it off a few years later on TV!

Discovery is not part of the TOS universe no matter what the suits at CBS say!

Yeah, Roddenberry objected to the general military nature of the film, the Klingons being the first ones to make overtures for peace, and to Starfleet officers opening expressing prejudice against the Klingons. If Roddenberry had had his way, Starfleet would've reached out to the Klingons to make peace and helped them out with their problems, and TUC would've been a much more boring film.
Supposedly when GR finally saw TUC a couple of days before he died, he immediately went back to his office and began drafting a letter to his lawyer, demanding that certain scenes be cut out of the film.
Weird to say the least! If Gene wanted a galaxy free of problems in the far future then why did he create The Romulans, The Gorn and especially The Klingons in the first place?
JB
Well I know that he didn't create the baddies as such, but he must have been okay with it at the time to have allowed them in and didn't he give his blessing to an alien race named after his best pal in the police force that have become quite famous since?
