Talk:Away team

Should this article mention the fact that the people in the Heaven's Gate mass suicide apparently called themselves the "Heaven's Gate Away Team"? Wikipedia notes it on the Away Team page...Golden Monkey 21:33, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The question that needs to be asked is; "is the Heaven's Gate incident relevant to the topic of away teams in Star Trek?" I'd say, no. We don't learn anything more about Star Trek away teams with this information. --OuroborosCobra talk 21:37, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Relevance?
A recurring plot device throughout Star Trek: The Original Series was that a red shirted member of the landing party would be dead in the following ten minutes of the episode.

This statement is included in the Background Information section. I am not sure what the connection is between this statement and the article. I am hesitate to move on this statement, to delete or to keep, until there is further clarification on this connection.--Throwback 21:09, February 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm not entirely clear on that either; it seems more relevant to landing party.--31dot 02:24, February 3, 2012 (UTC)
