In the original "Star Trek" series, which character(s) stated, "Beam me up, Scotty"?
In popular culture, of course, the line is universally and intrinsically linked with the show, but it is actually a misquotation.There is a theory that these types of movie/TV misquotations, of which there are many, are often remembered that way simply because they sound smoother than the actual quote. For example, “Beam me up, Scotty” flows better than “Beam me up, Mr. Scott."
So in reality, no character in the original "Star Trek" series ever stated "Beam me up, Scotty." With only a few variations (and, no, "Beam me up, Scotty" was NEVER one of those variations), the real quote is, "Beam me up, Mr. Scott."

Closest they came to this imaginary quote was in 'Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home', where Capt. Kirk actually said, "Scotty, beam me up."

Fran Donnelly

I always thought he did say it that way. I just goes to show that we hear what we want and not what is said.
