You don’t see most characters on most shoes going to the restroom, for that matter, which is just fine with me. The writers will throw in a restroom/bathroom scene to give a feeling of realism or for humor purposes, but most of the time, it’s as though toilets don’t exist.

What kind of shoes do they have to have on before they get to go to the bathroom?
And it kind of makes you wonder about Galaxy Quest, doesn’t it? If the aliens made the ship specifically to the one showed on television broadcasts, and they don’t show bathrooms/toilets on the show…
How come we never see the ships “hairdresser”? Everybody is so well-coiffed, but there’s no barber or hairdresser. Where is he/she hiding? If you have 200+ people on a starship that doesn’t dock very often, everybody’s got to get a hair cut somesomewhere.
Maybe because the “don’t ask/ don’t tell” military policy didn’t go away in the ensuing centuries?
Actually, it’s Mot, one T. He is actually well-represented in the Next Generation series.
He’s listed with one ‘t’ in the credits for one episode, and with two for the other - Schisms and Ensign Ro. I think he also appeared somewhere else, but played by a different actor.[/nerd]
On IMDB the charater is listed as “Mr. Mott” and was on three episodes spanning 1991-1992. He was played by Ken Thorley. (In one of the episodes he played “Seaman”.)
There is no mention of whether his character ever went to the bathroom.
(And doing a Google search turns up several results for both spellings. For two Ts we have 32 results. For one T we have 47 results.)

Well… we could turn it around: what SF-series handles normal human bodily functions as normal? Where does the skipper have a &#xIn;sertDisposureOfExcrement? Or are the babies nappies changed?
OK. One does not require the professional services (I hope) of a trained cosmotologist to poop and wipe. I would think the ships hairdresser would be seen occasionally if there were one. If the ship did require a professional wiper or shaker, well then…. we’d just go into some really uncharted territory….. that I personally don’t want to go….
