Everyone helping assemble Dr. Galen’s progenitor flag.

Massive origin story for the damn galaxy, never once mentioned ever again.

They wanted an explanation about why all species are humanoid, mostly because makeup on an actor is cheaper than making unique species. the explanation sucked, no explanation could have worked.

That is like having a whole 3 part episode on why there are no toilets on any federation ships, or why there is sound in space, or why they don’t use seatbelts…

why there are no toilets on any federation ships

No way, half the time JLP says he’ll be in his ready room he means he’s heading to the porcelain captain’s chair to fire off some earl grey torpedoes.

In the future you can choose to deuce the traditional way or have it beamed directly out of your colon, and Picard loves his photon bombing rituals.

I’ve held that theory for years. that due to teleport tech, people no money need toilets, as urine and fecal matter gets teleported out.

And part of Starfleet training involves potty training, where they have to train on how urinate/defecate during away missions.

Do teleported urine and feces leave vacuum behind? Because that would mean massive cavitation bubbles in both the bladder and the rectum, immediately collapsing with a loud bang and a momentary increase in temperature over 100°C.
