I can see it now.
“I have to go to the bathroom. Brb, sir.”
“Good luck with that we don’t have bathrooms here. The academy made it too easy for you redshirts. There is supposed to be one in the Jefferey’s tubes though if you care to find it.”
Later that week
“Have you seen Ensign Redshirt anywhere Commander?”
“No Captain. Have you checked the bathroom?”
Everyone laughs

Firefly showed the Captain zipping up and flushing in the first episode for no real reason other than he was using a cool toilet that folds in to the wall.

I’ve never seen a full episode of Star Trek, so thanks for summing up the typical content.

You know what? I’ve noticed this in almost every movie and video game I’ve ever seen. Especially in video games. Characters must be reincarnations of Chuck Norris or something, because they never sleep, eat, drink, or go to the bathroom, and none of the houses have bathrooms.

Does ANY tv-series ever feature a bathroom unless the bathroom is neccesary for the story? And why would you even WANT to see someone using the bathroom? If you’ve got a thing for that, there are special movies out there for you, you know.

Why would we even WANT to see bathrooms in TV shows. Do you watch TV and say to yourself, “Boy I’d love to know more about this character’s bowel movements!”

If so, you are part of a very small demographic

they don’t need seatbelts, because they have inertial dampeners, which fails more often than the holodeck, the engines, the warp core, weapons, life support, and the transporters combined.

yet out of all these systems that fail so often, for some reason the artificial gravity never fails (except for that one episode of enterprise)

Nothing can be devoled. There are no such things as evolutionary levels. That whole episodes take on introns was horrific.

They have shiny towels.

Hint: If you are wondering how they do their business on the holodeck, you are over thinking it.

Enterprise featured several shower scenes.

I think there must be a “de-replicator” on the holodeck, since there is a regular replicator used to make various objects that appear there, so it should have some way equipped to remove those objects as well. As I remember, though, the scenery moves as the people inside move, so I always wondered what would happen if the crew were to try to spread out to a wider area than the size of the holodeck. Would they hit the walls?

That’s certainly the conclusion we came to after reviewing plans for the Enterprise (D if memory serves but this was a long time ago) and discovering that they only have two bathrooms.

Yeah, I was about to point this out. Do you want to see them use the bathroom?

Well, I concluded that they don’t have to go to the bathroom anymore. All the waste material is just beamed out of their body automatically…

Hope everyone just pictured that

Dudes, it’s the 24th century! Of course there is only one logical reason: bathroom pants! Including de-replicating metabolism products, replicating ocean breeze odor (optional: citrus fresh, strawberry meadow or grandma’s fresh baked brownie plate on a window board) and build-in barbershop for boy- and girl-parts.

why would someone want to see a bathroom in a si-fi movie in the first place?
the one who made this graph must have some weird fatish…

several episodes featured bathrooms. not a single episode featured seatbelts, however.

By: Girlysprite

Yeah and think of it – would you really want to see what characters do there?

By: Wani

Wani — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 03:40:17 +0000

There’s a reason I said “very few” and not “none” Well, besides the fact that saying “none” would’ve been terrible grammar…

First episode of VOY neelix is in a bathtub

And in First Contact Picard was dancing in his bathroom in his dream, right before he saw a Borg implant pop out of his face.

There’s also a door marked “Head” on the bridge of the Enterprise D.

Maybe there is a sort of “de-replicator” built into the holodeck, so they can use it to be replicated into food

By: merp

merp — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 20:17:02 +0000

They also forgot “hot women/aliens” and “McCoy gets owned by Spock”

even in the original series, there are several episodes where a couple characters will be talking in one characters room and one will be in the bathroom, they all just have them in their rooms

I take it you don’t know where the astronauts do it…
Since they’re in space chances are that still applies…
Which is why red-shirts usually commit suicide on missons

This isn’t even a Star Trek cliché, very few TV shows show bathrooms because, well, it’s not important.

I too can remember several episodes of TNG that have bathrooms.

True! Forgot about that one. So I guess the more proper “thing never seen” would be a toilet?

Lame. Star-Trek-Clichés have so much more potential. I’d recommend this article (Although the other Trekkies here might already know this page):
