Oh they did. In one of the films First Contact Geordi was following the guy who invented Warp Drive around and he wanted to go for a leak!

And if you remember his reaction, this was a totally foreign concept to Geordi.

"Ohhh.. A leak! Haha... How primitive"

LMAO I did mean more on a ship, even in the bathroom scenes there is no sign of a bog

Nah, was more along the lines of:

"Leak? I'm not detecting any leak. Oohhh, haha, that's pretty funny!" Not a foreign concept, just more like the word leak was humorous to him.

I think in one of the Starfleet tech manuals, it explains that everything on the ship is recycled, everything

I know, was only joking

I'd say so, actually. Sure they do the same with urine on the International Space Station today. Cleaned and recycled into drinking water.

Not sure what they do with "solid waste" on the I.S.S. but I'd imagine they'd find a use for it on 23rd/24th century star ship. Fertiliser maybe?

Regardless though... they still have to make the deposit somewhere ;-)

As far as I know, its actually used as one of the sources of matter for the replicators. I could be wrong, & I hope I am, but I think replicators give out part-reconstituted poo poo

I think you're correct, I'm fairly sure I read the same thing somewhere.

Can't find a video for it but Trip also had to answer a 'poop' question in Breaking the Ice.

That ship death animation that popped up in every large battle of DS9 involving the dominion. You know the one.

A phaser beam originates from the bottom of the screen and blows a hole through the saucer section of the ship......and the ship flips over towards to camera. They must have used it four times in total.

They re-used plenty of space battle scenes in DS9, got a bit ridiculous at time TBH. I suppose they spent so much on Sacrifice of Angels that they had to get their money's worth!

in regards to the bathroom situation

You know what I cant forget, the borg in Q who, when he takes the thing out of his fallen comrade's chest in engineering he stands up and makes a somewhat self important hmph noise, which I thought wasnt in keeping with the borg being mindless automatons.

Beanstalk

Hah watching through ds9 season 1 and came across the episode where Rumplestiltskin tells o'brien that he was onced chased by a farmer from Derry...

I love noticeing how they reuse sets and props. I remember in the thinktank episode in Voyager there was a robot that made beeping noises. I've seen that same prop used loads of times.

I enjoy noticing things like that too. Some of the ten-forward wall tiles were in an episode of Voyager, Ex Post Facto I think. Exact same, just a different colour

I watched that episode the other day and only noticed it then, it was a bit strange.

no matter where the enterprise get hit from another ship,sparks always fly out from a console on the bridge,
the transporters always go down when there needed and they always get them back online at a critical moment to save the day,
i still love star trek though and i wish they could bring back data somehow

they do in the non-canon books. He downloaded himself into whatever that other android they found called himself, One?

He goes on to captain the enterprise after Picard retires.

mr lee

i haven't read any of books so im not sure what you mean by non -canon,do you have any names of the books,i tried looking on amazon for them but i dont what to look for,theres a lot of choices there.

Non canon is fan written/expanded universe material & isn't considered 'official'. A new film/episode can easily overwrite anything written in non canon. Canon is proper, official material.

Data's brother was called B4 - very clever.
I have noticed that Picard gives half his time in every episode to pulling down his uniform top. it always seems to ride up and he is constantly fixing it. you would have think that over the 7 years of the show and in the subsequent films the wardrobe department might have figured out a solution to this problem! - just a thought.
