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:


Also it is canon that there is a human/pak'ma'ra porn movie called Snow White and the 7 Pak'ma'ra which is actually biologically impossible.

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.



That's the one with Lori Petty I think. She rules. Falls in love with Tuvok and Tuvok had to be like "In sorry I cannot return those feelings, as I said I do not experience emotions in that way, and also as I have told many people multiple times, I am married"

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.

No, but when the bathrooms were having problems and some of them were down, The Doctor said "The limited bathrooms has been difficult for the crew, especially the Bolians" or something like that

Yeah she did a great job; it was a solid casting. And Tom chews Tuvok out for being such a cold rear end in a top hat. Tom was resigned to the fact they could be there forever. The time dilation element was another neat piece.

Watching VOY and ENT in parallel highlights just how poor the writing in ENT was. Voyager has flaws but they put a lot more thought into everything.

E: I just saw that Bolians line and yeah that's basically what she said which made me wonder what the issue was

"I've gone through dozens of histories written about twenty first century Earth, all of them biased in one way or another. The Vulcans describe First Contact with a savagely illogical race. Ferengi talk about Wall Street as if it were holy ground. The Bolians express dismay at the low quality of human plumbing."

Did the movie First Contact invent the idea that Vulcans were the first “official” alien encounter by humans or was there some earlier dialogue about it?

It was always kinda fanon but never official until First Contact. That's why there's a bit of a reveal moment at the end when we see they're vulcan.

Don't forget T'Pol's great great grandmother (?) making contact in the 50s. A ENT episode that could have been way better than what it was.

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 bathrooms use holodeck technology.
