He has plans to put several restrooms around the BridgeI’m puzzled why he would put a turbo loft control panel there…. I’d imagine they’re a main in engineering. More useful would be a head (rest room). Or , maybe I say that as I’m at a certain age where if I drink too much ice tea at lunch I die in the afternoon meetings.

If you thought regular plumbing stopped up too easily, imagine facilities with no pipes. (All those razor-thin walls and floors.) And you'll understand why they need all the extras.It seems like having 1000 lavatories in a starship that holds 500 people is far beyond what comfort requires,
The walls on the Enterprise from TOS were thick and stuffed full of pipes!If you thought regular plumbing stopped up too easily, imagine facilities with no pipes. (All those razor-thin walls and floors.) And you'll understand why they need all the extras.
I was actually thinking of that same scene... pipes that stop above the floor! But in the very same episode Kirk and Spock seriously ding the wall of Rand's quarters when Charlie telekinetically flings them aside.The walls on the Enterprise from TOS were thick and stuffed full of pipes!
Nah, that wall was already damaged. Spock just coincidentally happened to fall thereI was actually thinking of that same scene... pipes that stop above the floor! But in the very same episode Kirk and Spock seriously ding the wall of Rand's quarters when Charlie telekinetically flings them aside.

Thankfully it's a locked off shot so we can imagine that the lower panel (below) is actually a reflective surface that only appears to be insetThere are some saving graces though. The camera is locked off at that lower angle and doesn't move so it could be argued that the pipes stopping above the floor is an optical illusion. The pipes could instead run into the horizontal red block and the dark block underneath is a cover for the same pipes.
His next video "fixes" the deck four exterior profile, but I agree with you, Mr. Trek is creating his own Enterprise interior (he envisions his Enterprise as a slight refit for a hypothetical fourth season) which doesn't match the show's interiors. For example, the bridge has two more exits, one door on each side of the viewscreen, and an expanded services area around the bridge's perimeter. It's gonna be a "fatter" bridge blister on top of the saucer.I disagree with Mr. Trek’s approach (and some of his proportions look way off), but what he is doing certainly stirs the imagination.
Yeah, I think that’s why there are odd proportions. FJ was a little too beholden to the deck count in the text of the Making book, even though Jeffries cross-section doesn’t agree. It works better if decks 5/6 are the main saucer decks, not 6/7. I don’t know why he didn’t start from the plans of the guy who designed the thing…Personally, I don't think the FJ design is a good representation of the TOS Enterprise...
