I don't see why this is a goof. There is no reason to assume the term
'beam me up' wasn't known, just maybe a piece of slang not commonly
used, which is why we only hear it once. After all, this is in the
future and they may have watched old Star Trek shows on whatever their
equivaent to UK Gold is.

From "Orac":
AVON: Then crawl, but put that on! Gan, you stay here with Jenna.
Make sure that one of you stays conscious long enough to
beam us back up again.

It was in 'Orac' (by Terry Nation), when Avon has decided to go to look
what's taking Blake so long he says to Jenna: "Make sure that one of you
stays conscious long enough to beam us back up again."
Of course it is possible that the script said something like "*bring* us
back up again" but that Paul Darrow fluffed his line. (Maybe he'd been
watching Startrek?) :-)

Guess so. Although that shows inconsistencies with the other parts of the
episode. Why would the cells in the pre-trial area be hidden by a solid
wall, but the transportation holding area cells are open for all to see?
Blake's cell in the trial area is similar to the one he's in when he first
meets Varon - it would've been good for the Federation to be able to
teleport the entire cell and its occupant around. But in the end, we know
they didn't have teleportation.

k and I developed the unfortunate habit of watching a season of B5
before bed. Might explain why we were so knackered last year. :-)

I'm actually no good at haiku and have been content to sit back in awe at
everyone else's efforts, but here goes. Naturally, this is overly
influenced by my own, extensive and, er, creative reinterpretation of a
certain episode.

OTOH, there's a little piece of crossover fiction I've been working on
where it would be very _significant_ that _Avon_ was the one using ST
terminology.
Unfortunately, I forgot about the cell with the forcefield wall. That
causes problems, since I had a whole forcefield technology theory worked
out (it can still work, the main argument is about forcefields on ships,
but I would prefer more limited forcefield use by the Federation. Maybe I
can argue Blake was in a cell with a two way mirror but otherwise normal
substance wall? [for those who need to know, the difference in special
effects and teleport technology did lead me to give the ST element the
clearly superior technology]).
Win some, lose some.
