There was an implication of the bathroom in "Elaan of Troyius".
What unseen parts of the ship do you wish we saw?

Don't we see that in Conscience of the King, when he takes Lenore through it and she talks about the "throbbing power" of the ship.
Indeed we do, but I figure Kirk took her to that particular one because it was nice and quiet...there must have been other ways to look out the window, or the crew would have gone insane staring at the walls all the time
Other places I'd like to see :
As well as the bar/bowling alley, it would have been nice to see a large recreation area, or any place where the crew spends their off duty time.
I'd always a imagined a massive computer center somewhere in the ship.
Why do I have it in my head that there was a second, emergency bridge somewhere in the middle of the ship? From the old deck plans I had as a kid? Or am I thinking of the battle bridge from TNG?
There was indeed a facility known as "Auxiliary Control", seen e.g. in "Way to Eden". A fairly logical and convincing set.
The first time we saw such a facility was in "Doomsday Machine", where Commodore Decker was found inside the Auxiliary Control room of his ship - apparently situated a bit differently from Kirk's, because Kirk nearly walked past that room!

That was exactly what I was thinking of, thanks very much.
Truthfully, a lot of third season can blur together for me. Since it's not on the level of the first two, I haven't rewatched those episodes as much.
Was a cargo tranporter like this ever referenced in the show itself, though? I realize it makes tons of sense for the Enterprise to have multiple transporter rooms for evacuation purposes, but from the way they constantly called it THE Transporter Room, I always got the impression that they only had the one.
Possibly the only time the ship's bowling alley was ever shown in any TOS fiction was in this online comic book by Kail Tescar:

While there were never any canon references to 22-man and/or cargo transporter facilities in TOS, I'm pretty sure the 22-man units (and redundant 6-man units) were referred to in "The Making of Star Trek" by Stephen Whitfield and Gene Roddenberry (1968).
Does anyone have the specific quote and citation handy?

Pretty good story. I like the reference to one of Fleet Captain Garth's attack maneuvers!
Good topic.
Thanks!
Thinking on this more, I think it really would've been fascinating to see some of the setup for the nacelles. A TMP-style matter/anti-matter reactor could've been cool. And I would've loved to be able to see more of the Jeffries Tubes.
I definitely agree that a larger botanical garden or rec room would've been something to see.
TAS "One of Our Planets is Missing" showed more of the matter/antimatter engines. It appears that Kirk and Scotty are IN the nacelle itself. Fairly impressive attempt, if not accurate or canon or even cool.
The 3rd season botanical/rec room thing was fairly nice.
Even if it was a re-dress, I wonder why they didn't re-dress it in an earlier season. They did a good job conveying a sense of space, as if there were much more to see and we were only seeing a side alcove or corner of a larger area.
From page 192:
"There are eleven personnel and cargo transporter stations aboard the vessel. Four are the familiar main operational stations, two are cargo transporters, [and] five are emergency personnel transporters which can handle twenty-two people each but involve a risk factor at such power loads and are limited to use in ship-abandoning emergencies."

I think the old planned-but-never-released PC game from 1999 "Star Trek: The Secret of Vulcan Fury" (written by Dorothy Fontana) had a shot of the ship's bowling alley facility. It looks to be the source of Kail Tescar's artwork:
In my deck plans, I'm currently at the stage of just punting and declaring that the bowling alley was one of the holodeck programs.
I would love to see the morgue (they have to keep all of the dead redshirts someplace), security (Kirk is always calling security, is it a big squadroom?), and there must be some sort of navigation area or chart room.
In The Changeling.

Might as well be the same room! Sorry, it just always bothered me that the red shirts were almost always guaranteed to bite the dust. It would have been nice for TOS to have a recurring security officer who didn't die.
Neat passage & fairly logical, but REALLY tough to jibe with what we saw in the show week after week.
I'm also somewhat skeptical of there really being a bowling alley.
I'd like to see the mythical corridor (crawlway?) surrounding the bridge.
And also a room with a window. IIRC, we saw a tiny window in "The Mark of Gideon" but, frankly, that was crap.

I bet it looked like a brewery
Of the big seven hero performers, I think the only ones living quarters we never saw was Sulu's. Obviously it would have been a redress of the standard quarters (usually Kirk's), still the way the quarter were decorated would have said something about Sulu himself.
