When it's dark, light from under the door.

[JesterFace]

Have you noticed that in few STNG episodes when a room is dark and when doors open and close a little bit of light can be seen from the bottom?

Also, when Worf and Deanna leave Worf's quarters in 'Night Terrors' the doors don't seem to align perfectly, some light shines between them.

Yeah, it was the early 90s and no HD so maybe things like that could be ignored back then.

I'm not going to let things like that bother me though, just an observation.

We geeks have a motto: "I will be bothered for the both of us."

That's generally what happens, if the door has no weatherstripping or threshold. And unless a door needs to hold pressure, or to contain hazardous gases or aerosols, there wouldn't be any more need for an interior door on a spaceship to have that, than an interior door in your house or your workplace.

Oh, and I almost forgot:

THERE!
ARE!
FOUR!
LIGHTS!!!

In one way it would make sense that the doors don't reach the floor, in 'Clues' Deanna enters her quarters and after the doors are closed she screams and Worf hears it from the hallway.
Either the sound came from under the door or the walls on the quarters are paperthin.

I don't get it. Why shouldn't we see light leaking through?

Based on primitive ugly bag of mostly water 20th or 21st century sensibilities, one might expect any door to a cabin, especially a cabin abutting the hull of the spacecraft, to be pressurized when closed.

"Emergency force fields will handle it."

Maybe it's a safety feature. We're not seeing light bleeding in from the next room or corridor. There are lights along the bottom of every door. In case of power failure, or if a crewmember is trying to get to the bathroom without waking everyone up, they can see the door by the faint lights on the bottom.

I don't get it. Why shouldn't we see light leaking through?

I guess I assumed that quarters would be completely separate from the hallway as in an apartment outsidedoor of our day closes completely.
Maybe it could be a matter of privacy?

It’s not as bad the DS9 season 4 finale, when Worf and Garak are fighting they knock over the Jeffries tube door, you can even hear it fall over. Surely they could’ve done a retake?

I blame the carpets on the Enterprise-D.

I thought the same thing, but maybe it was too late in the day and the setup would take too long. Or maybe that was the retake, but it just kept happening because it's such a small area.
