Where are those people coming from?

[JoeZhang]

Is there a crew lounge just off the bridge on the Enterprise-D ?

I was watching the BOBW and when Shelby takes Wesley and some other crew members to perform another duty - some replacement crew members appear from.. well I'm not sure - something to the left of the left turbolift (left if you are looking towards the turbolift).

Stairs?

You mean the bathroom? By the door to the Observation Lounge?

 

[JoeZhang]

I have no idea - it looks like a wall but clearly it's not as people come out of it, so it's a passage to somewhere.

I guess it could be a bathroom but it seems a happy coincidence that they were in there when crewmen needed replacing.

You can see it 28 seconds into this:

this Probert drawing identifies the door in that location as being a head.

So people hang around in the toilet to wait to be called?


I really need to have a wee!

urg, you can't have one here!

Why not? it's a toilet?

but..but..it's also a duty station!

24th century version of the Mile High Club, maybe?

Well, two people come out, and two go in. I guess everyone's gotta pee before battle!

 

[Captain Robert April]

Well, it does make it kinda hard to concentrate on things, like targeting weapons, etc., when you're trying not to wet your pants.

 

[SeerSGB]

Given Trek's tendency towards exploding consoles, makes you feel sorry for anyone that gets caught in the head during a battle. Knowing Starfleet design, the freaking crapper has a EPS conduit powering the flush.

IIRC the two the go and the two that come out is a man and woman.

I guess a last quickie before the battle with the Borg. I wonder if the Enterprise experienced a baby boom nine months later?

Well, obviously. You almost say that like you'd think that there shouldn't be!

Not to be a spoilsport or anything, but people of two genders going through the same door to reach the toilet doesn't necessarily indicate unisex toilet. It could just mean that the gender-segregated toilets are reached through a common door.

Even if we accept it a toilet on the plans - does it make sense for it to be a toilet in the context of that scene I linked to ? It seems the director thinks it's a walkway? or a doorway to the battle bridge?

Don't know why the director would think that when the door is clearly marked as "Head."

 

[Crewman47]

Isn't there also a Jeffries Tube access in there as well as Riker and Worf came up out of there in the episode where Data commandeers the Bridge, I think.

 

[Timo]

Would make sense. That sort of ugly utilitarian access would be better positioned in the common area of the heads than anywhere on the plush and pompous diplomatic representation stage of the Main Bridge.

Also, one might assume that the Jeffries tube would run close to the vertical shaft of the Battle Bridge express turbolift, so as not to unnecessarily block corridors, rooms and stuff on the decks below.

Maybe the people who really honk of a senior officer and are ordered to "clean the toilets with toothbrushes" work in shifts?

At the risk of ruining an old Bill Cosby joke:

My mother always said you should always wear clean underwear in case you run into the Borg. The problem is, I can assure you that if you DO run into the Borg, you will NOT have clean underwear. First you're gonna SAY it, then you're gonna DO it!"

 

[All Seeing Eye]

It's the second bridge turbo lift.

 

[Timo]

They have a Battle Bridge and a Second Bridge?
