People in Janeway's Quarters

[F. King Daniel]

They really need curtains. I wouldn't want space pervs watching me from 30,000 light years away.

Neelix has them.

"They're going at it like rabbits on long range visual sensors, Commander."

"ON SCREEN!"

Hey, if they can evaluate the number of people on a planet light years away then why not?

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

IIRC, the lower ranks had regular beds in "Good Sheperd".

On the Ent-D, I seem to remember we saw bunk beds in "Lower Decks".

You're right about "Good Shepherd". Do we see them in their quarters in "Lower Decks"?

Yes, IIRC one of the crewpeople in that episode is roommates with Ben the bartender.

The reason that lower-ranked crewmembers bunk in TNG but not in VOY is probably due to the size of the crew. Even with the larger internal volume of the Enterprise-D, their crew complement is ten times that of Voyager's.

Also, the Defiant on DS9 used a bunk-like arrangement, as do the runabouts.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

On the Defiant it makes sense, but on the D, ugh.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

It's also probably cheaper for the set designers to create a room with bunks in it as opposed to one with two separate beds. Easier for characters to have conversations with each other as well. (Such as Lister and Rimmer on Red Dwarf)

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Considering how big the ship was on Red Dwarf that never made any sense

But why is an intern given her own quarters in True Q? She's only an intern for pete's sake!!!

^ Because there wasn't any scene where Amanda had to have conversations with a roommate. No dramatic need for it. I'm not saying it was *right* for her to get her own quarters, but that's why these things happen.

I am talking about internal coherence of the show. Whatever accommodations an intern gets, an actual starfleet officer should get more.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Maybe it was seen as invasive to pop her into someone else's room. Or maybe Riker picked her accommodation because he was hoping for a little after dinner visit.

See, Riker being a dog, now we're talking - internal coherence!

I always figured she was treated more like a civilian guest, which there were accomodations ready for at any time.

I disagree, an intern is not a guest, far from it. In any line of work, an intern is always the lowest form of life. Even the janitor's dog is given more consideration.

Is that why she had to practically Q-rape him, to get his attention? I don't think so.

That day Riker was trying out the tricks he learned in the holo-vid "How Playing Hard to Get makes them Hot for U", part 26 of "Dr". Mudd's Guide to Picking Up the Ladies.

I think you're giving him too much credit.
