Which means that JJ Abrams took the clone Sith Lord Picard idea and used that for Emperor Palpatine in episode 9

Son of Sam-I-Am posted:I thought that was the conference room. It's a corridor, the conference room is off it to the right. The corridor is ramped down and hooks back to the left down to deck 1B. In addition to the mentioned bathroom there are bathrooms and lounge there along with the bench of hapless redshirts who rush in to reoccupy consoles when they fry the previous redshirt but remain fully functional for some reason. Depending on which blueprint and interpretation you subscribe to, of course. You may now swirlie me.

Klingons eat nothing but raw meat (much of it organ meat), worms and what appears to be hideous looking seafood, plus they drink constantly. The bathroom probably looks like a crime scene when they are done, although I am sure real warriors only poo poo outside and they have too much pride to cover it in dirt when they are done. That is how you know where a warrior has been.

Romulans have ceremonial weapons for poo poo breaks and are taught how to defend themselves from the toilet at a young age because of how easdy it is to assassinate someone in such a vulnerable position.

Cardassians are only comfortable when they know they are on camera and they know the government is protecting them when taking a crap.

at some point the starfleet bathroom design team gave up so it's just an empty room that transports your waste into space this is why the transport station needs to be manned 24/7. obrien is a bathroom attendant

The bathrooms are just the holodeck. The computer doesn’t create toilets, but your immediate superior. Mouth open and ready to go.

I think it was a Voyager episode, some negative space inversion the ship ran into that week interfered with some systems and for some reason only one lavatory was working, someone mentioned a Bolian being the current occupant and Janeway was like "  FIX THE drat SHIP"

From the TNG Technical Manual there's a section that references Bolian waste products as being highly toxic and noxious to non-Bolians. We can see this on Earth; aquatic creatures can eliminate excess nitrogen as ammonia because their surroundings quickly dilute ammonia to non-toxic levels, but terrestrial creatures have to convert their waste nitrogen to something less toxic like urea or uric acid before excretion. In real life, an alien would be a walking toxic waste dump. Their flesh would be poisonous, they could exhale hazmat, and their waste products would be like swimming in a superfund site.

So in order he was a clone made out of transporter static, from a different dimension, and now he's straight up a roboman.

I say the bridge bathroom attendant has the worst job because they're probably a civilian like the Ten Forward waiters and they can actually hear all the frightening poo poo that happens on the bridge.

Mulaney Power Move posted:Why would Picard need to sleep in his office? Is he that far from a turbo lift? Pretty sure the idea is that if some ongoing crisis or other event was happening, he could duck into the ready room for a nap and be able to hop right back out to the bridge in the event something new cropped up. Mulaney Power Move posted:Also where is the ready room and what is the officer's lounge This is obviously a pre-production drawing (I don't think the dimensions on the captain's office/ready room are right); the "captain's office" is what they came to call the "ready room", and the "officer's lounge" became the conference room.

TOS had an officer's lounge, but as noted it functionally became the conference room before production probably because of the militarism. There is still an officer's lounge near the bridge in the Whitefire drawings.

Precisely, that's right from modern warship design where the captain has a ready room (called a sea cabin IRL) adjacent to the bridge with a basic office space, bed and toilet available if he expects to be needed directly. One time in WWII a ship in the Pacific was attacked and the captain, who liked sleeping in the nude, rushed directly from bed in his sea cabin to the bridge buck-rear end naked to issue orders, then went back in to get dressed.
