I demand groveling for the injustice inflicted on us by the poll!
He did, Pike asked “How’s the family?” and Sam replied “All fine, sir.”
While this is probably arguable, I'm pretty happy to retcon this across the board. Why wouldn't they have a transporter in sickbay? Always seemed a little weird to transport the sick and wounded into a transporter room and then ferry them throughout the ship to get to sickbay.
"How's that brother of yours, still lookin' just like you but without a mustache?" 
To be fair unless I'm misremembering the one time they do is the time they establish how dangerous and risky it is. But given that the transporter has sensors with enough resolution to pick out and snag each individual molecule in someone's body at a distance of hundreds of thousands of kilometers I have a very hard time buying that "transporting within the ship" is beyond their capabilities.
Agreed. Maybe someone else will do the review threads down the road?

This is my only issue with SNW so far. That’s not Paul Wesley with a mustache, so my brain, having already seen Wesley as Jim Kirk, cannot process this information.
Well, I actually do have an issue with it, because in order for the transporter to function, realistically it needs to beam the person somewhere. To a planet or ship, it makes sense because you have thingies on the hull to do that. But how does one transport to a point inside the ship? The only way I see is if there are transporter "emitters" within the ship, making the transporter room pointless.
Well, dang, I wish I could have avoided the T'Pring spoilers. (I don't remember any of it.)
I'm not sure how good I feel about episode of the week now I'm in the afterglow. I'll have to see how it pans out. It certainly does a different job as a TV show than Discovery or Picard.
Edit - I thought at first that I didn't like any Discovery callback stuff, but now I've reflected on that then I'm glad that it happened in those small doses. Again, processing, I couldn't say why right now.
I hope were not gonna see ScarPike every episode if he catches himself reflected in an LCARS panel or whatever. I hope at least by the end of the Season that's something Pike has learned to curb. It is a horrible situation though, having that certain and painful knowledge...
I think it has all the makings of a good show. I hope Ethan Peck can ease up a bit.

This is the medical emergency transporter so it would make sense that it would have emitters in place (maybe even only in a few locations?) for fast travel to and from sick bay in an emergency.
It's not really a command. It's just someone who doesn't know better.
Why are people still complaining about the fucking poll? Is it really that hard for people to wrap their minds around?
I think it is because the transporter is supposed to be a bit of newer tech in TOS, and likely a power hungry piece. Much like intraship beaming is supposed to be dangerous in TOS, yet is routine ten years prior in DSC.

Yer going to have to get in line behind that other guy.
This thread earns 1 out of 10 or 10 out of 1 depending on my mood.
They admitted to making an error. It wasn't intentional.
1 out of 10 for me.
That's about middle of the road when you account for all the imaginary numbers in that scale.
It is crazy to me how it's even a problem. I noticed, smiled, voted and moved on with my life. Which I think was the intention.
Still, Star Trek fans gonna be anally retentive sometimes I guess.
That ship sailed when ENTERPRISE showed us Transporters about 100 years before.
Plus, I never got the impression that Transporters were new tech when first watching TOS.
Only McCoy complained about them, everybody else treated them like a natural function of the ship.
I only knew they were new to me.
