Do you think there are lazy jerks on the Enterprise who only take the turbolift up one deck, holding it up for everyone else?

For sure. And don’t get me started on all the people who stop it mid-way through to have a conversation.

Every time that happens, I picture some poor ensign who desperately needs to get somewhere just waiting by the turbolift as Deanna and Picard have a heart-to-heart for 5 minutes.

But you never see anyone wait for one, ever. Which makes me think they must have tons of those things.

Makes me wonder: are there stairs on a starship? I only know the turbo lift and jeffry tubes and I get when people prefer the former

There was on the original Enterprise. The idea was that the doors to them would automatically open if there was a failure to the turbolift system and would otherwise be closed.

I forgot about that line. The one time someone complains. How often did Picard have to wait for a turbolift because, say, Riker and Geordi are having a conversation in one?

Well yeah, what are they gonna do, take the tubes? I’d sooner ask for a site to site…

There’s gotta be stairs there somewhere!

No stairs, only ladders, Jeffreys tubes and turbo shafts (you better turbo climb through or you get turned into turbo jam).

If you’re in the far future though, you get the whole TARDIS interior of the turbo shaft network

It’s much easier to jump, just remember to pump up your reeboks first 👍

I’ve had bad dreams like this, with just crazy high staircase or scaffolding, and it’s absolutely terrifying to a guy with a fear of heights

I was gonna suggest a shuttle, but then there’s all the shuttle crashes. I wonder which there’s more of.
