Star Trek TOS Enterprise Bridge Ambience • Cruising to Romulan Space for Sleep, Study & Relaxation

Star Trek: The Original Series — we’re on TV this week and on our way to Sector Z-6 to breach the neutral zone and travel into the Romulan Star empire. But first we cruise… As we try not to think about someone possibly taking a dump on the other side of the view screen. (Whaaaat?)So as I was doing research for building the TOS Enterprise bridge (Photoshop and After Effects) — I ran across a blog that ponders whether the bridge itself is rotated 36 degrees. So the folks on the bridge face 36 degrees port. What, why? The blog includes a blueprint of the Enterprise bridge that shows not only is the bridge looking to the port side of the Enterprise, there is a toilet just to the right of the view screen. If you’re sitting on the toilet you will be the only person facing the front of the ship. Just process that, presumably someone was relieving themselves as the Enterprise initiated first visual contact with the Romulans. And that dude or lady was seated facing the actual front of the ship. Presumably when the Enterprise fights General Chang in the Battle of Khitomer, someone could have been relieving themselves as the ship was pummeled with torpedoes and Shakespeare. As the crew looked for signs of a cloaked ship in the view screen, someone just to the right could have been dropping off a ****. Amazing.And I know the later example is a new Enterprise and maybe the powder room isn’t in the same spot. Let me have this. CRYHAVOOOOC
