I was watching The City on the Edge of Forever last night, and
found a major inconsistancy. At the end of the episode, Kirk, Spock,
McCoy, Scotty, Uhura, and TWO REDSHIRTS beam back up to the Enterprise.
Count the total number of bodies there.. Can anybody think of any other
episodes where more than 6 were beamed at once? How about possible
explainations.???

The Enterprise has more than one of those 6-person transporter stations (I think four). So, Kirk & Co. minus one or both redshirts beam into one chamber while the remaining people are beamed into another chamber off camera! -- --==---==---==-- "Space, the final frontier ..."

The transporter engineer should have beamed them into rock, or something. :-) Seriously, if there aren't enough 'pods' for people, there's probably a queue or something. "Day of the Dove" had klingons held while Kirk, et al got out, then the klingons were 'rematerialized'. Are there only six pods? I seem to remember more, but I could be wrong.

There is a notation in the book about cargo transporters, but they weren't shown in the series. Lord Kahless ucbvax!ucdavis!vega!ccrdave

How about possible > explainations.??? > -- In "The Day of the Dove" a whole bunch of Klingons and our heros are beamed up to the Enterprise at one time. They weren't all put back together at the same time though. Presumably this could have been done here.
