No toilets is why O'Brien always had to stand at the transporter room console all day.

And why he looked so miserable all the time

Huh? I hate that I know this, but toilets feature prominently in Harry Potter. There's even a weird bathroom ghost.

Those are baths, poop is magicked out of people.

Does every cabin on the Enterprise have its own bathroom, or are there communal bathrooms?
Also, is there a bathroom off of the Bridge? Thanks I'll hang up and listen.

Also I'm imagining regular toilets but instead of leading to plumbing, it's just a bowl that when you flush it transports the waste out into space. Like how airplane toilets work, but with transporter magic.

Or it just breaks down any matter then sends the constituent molecules into storage to later be used for replication.

The troll fight in the first movie is in a bathroom with toilet stalls

Magicking poop out of oneself was an aside joke as something wizards used to do in ye olde days but are now more civilized and use proper toilets.

I'm pretty sure it was a joking reference to the semi-urban-legend that nobles used to just crap in the corner and let the servants clean it up at Versailles.

I think most deck plans showing the whole of Deck 1 and not just the bridge, conference room, and ready room, also have a head there.

There's a door labelled HEAD at the back left, next to the door to the conference lounge. (Oftentimes people pop out of it when they go to red alert and need extra crew arrive.)

For other ships most of them have at least one corridor attached to the bridge, the toilets are probably down there. I guess in TOS they need to take the lift.

Wonder how they deal with different species bathroom needs in the communal bathrooms. Surely there's got to be a few issues that have to be addressed.

the enterprise is fully plumbed but all the poop goes into those enormous empty sections (the poop deck), when u run out of space the ship gets decommissioned

I just imagine a particularly fastidious alien asking for the bath-room, then coming out looking particularly shaken.

"I was intending to do my ablutions, but all the cisterns have an accumulation of fecal bacterias. How do your species bathe?"

"Ohhh yeah there's no baths in there, that was a RESTroom."

"...your people sleep in these waste-encrusted cisterns?"

They probably have velcro that looks like a regular seam and you can just open a slit or something.

Kid and I watched the Voyager episdoe where Tuvok and Paris get stranded on that planet that they said it's like gravometric quicksand or something. It was a good one. Neat sci fi concept being a planet where ships regularly get smashed onto the surface and all the inhabitants battle it out for supplies. In general Tuvok and Paris play off each other really well. We also see young Tuvok, not that it was very interesting.

In my ENT watch through one of Dr Phlox's wives comes onto Trip hardcore. Phlox says straight up you don't know what you're missing. Trip just squirms throughout the episode, good for a few chuckles.

It's sometimes addressed on Babylon 5...they do show people going in/out of bathrooms, and make mention that different "types" of aliens need different bathrooms. I believe there's even a visual gag that whatever the gently caress it is that the pak'ma'ra* do in there, it requires them to have their own lavatory.

*For those that didn't watch B5... for one, shame on you. For two, the pak'ma'ra are carrion eaters and basically look like slightly cuddlier Mind-Flayers:

You also see one leave a toilet stall and do a full-body shake.

Pak'Ma'Ra are also deeply disgusting beings that will allegedly eat anything, including the dead. Whatever comes out the other end has to be a massive biohazard, it's no wonder they get their own toilet.
