In Serenity we see that Mal's bunk has a pull out toilet and sink, but do Wash and Zoe have this? Does anyone else think that'd be kinda weird, you wake up in the middle of the night and you can see your husband or wife doing their business in the corner of the room.
Maybe they've got a curtain around it or something...

Weird, I was just about to post a question that might answer yours:
Are there any blueprints of Serenity or layouts of the interior? I too was curious about the insides of the ship and the general location of everything, though most can be deduced from the series.

I know the dining hall is on the top of the middle section and the bridge the top of the forward section and...well, sorry, didn't mean to hijack your thread. I think it's safe to assume all the crew's quarters are identical (all those rooms along the hallway leading up to the bridge). I take it there are four rooms (Kaylee's, though Kaylee also seems to bunk in the engine room), Mal's, Jayne's, and Zoe-n-Wash's. Assume the interior facilities would be the same.

This may be TMI for y'all, but I don't see the big deal in seeing someone "doing their business."

I had a girlfriend that would walk in on me all the time. It was a little weird at first, but you get over it.

a lot of military latrines are like that. I've been in a number of them that were just toilet seats on a board, lined up in a row. Of course these were in WWII barracks that were still in use but it gets to a point where you have to let go of those civilized niceties and just do your business, regardless of who is around. I would like to think that our future society is not as squeamish about bodily functions, viewing them in the same fashion as one would tasks such as eating or scratching your arm. It is a rather prim Victorian attitude that we here in the US insist on. I'm not excluding myself from this mindset, I did grow up with it, being in the Army kinda forces you to reassess those attitudes or end up with lots of discomfort and possible medical complications.

I actually found that scene, where Mal folds up the toilet, kind of interesting. I can't recall in all of Star Wars or even Star Trek them ever showing a toilet. I guess they figure in the future there'll be a remedy for going to the bathroom.

I did as well. I always find it refreshing (if you'll excuse the adjective) when tv shows/movies actually show that type of realism. I don't feel that it is necessary to get all "National Geographic" in a sitcom but it gives dimension to the characters. Plus that scene was perfect,coming after Inara's response of "Because, so few men are" to Book's question regarding her fascination with the "mystery" that is the Captain. The implication being that his humanity and vulnerability is the same as everyone else's just easy to forget when confronted with the image of the hardened veteran with the thousand yard stare. Joss is a literary genius when it comes to visual contradictions such as those and there is so much damn information packed into those two little scenes regarding their characters, culture, and environment.

Sorry to digress...the bottom line is that the ship's design is no doubt uniform when it comes to crew quarters. It is a transport ship, after all, and not a military or commercial liner which would be designed with rank or financial standing in mind. Zoe is a soldier through and through, she would have lost the need to pay homage to the social niceties of privacy and since Wash is a career pilot, he is more than likely of the same mindset. As Kaylee points out to Simon, "There ain't no need to be proper out here in the Black." Back in the core, though, it is obviously different.

I wondered exactly how many bunks there are. There must be more than four I think. In addition to Mal's, Jayne's, Kaylee's and Zoe and Wash's there must be Book's and the fed's (in the pilot, who posed as a passenger). Did Simon and River share a room or did they have one each? That's at least seven and there could well be more that we don't know about.

There are five crew cabins, each accessed by a ladder leading down from the forward corridor. The rest of the rooms are in the aft part of the ship, connected by a common hallway to the crew lounge where the sickbay is; that's where passengers (and River & Simon) stay. According to the RPG there are four passenger cabins, but I seem to recall seeing a floorplan on the 'net somewhere that might have shown more.

There're four crew cabins in the forward hull (between the kitchen & the bridge), and what looks like four passenger bunks down near the medbay.

The passenger's quarters seem to be below the deck where the kitchen and bridge are located, maybe on the same deck with the loading dock. They are the rooms with the oriental sliding screen doors and don't seem to have a bathroom making me think there is a shared bathroom on that floor. Where was Shepherd Book when he undid his hair and scared the crap out of River? Maybe their quarters do have a bathroom.

River and Simon share a room adjacent to sick bay that seems to be considerably larger than any of the other cabins on the ship.

Would love to see a blueprint.

The definitive floorplans are in the RPG book. It'd be a copyright violation to post them, sorry. You could always buy a copy of the book!

I don't think they shared a room. They each had a seperate room across the hallway from each other. Think back to OiS when Jubal Early comes looking for River but finds Simon coming out of his room. He hits Simon and then asks where River is and I remember him sliding open the door across the hallway from where Simon came out of. They both saw her bed empty and that's when Simon said that he didn't know where she was.

Here's a link to some floorplans that I just checked against the RPG and my memories of the show. They seem very close, except for having an extra passenger room where the RPG has one large one.
