“Beam me up, Scotty.”

Circulates under James T. Kirk

Editorial status

misattributed

Captain Kirk urges Scotty to beam people up in several episodes, but the exact four-word sentence is not a line in the original Star Trek television dialogue identified by the cited review.

Earliest traceable appearance in this record: No exact occurrence located in the original series; later shorthand condensed several real requests to Scotty.
