Waverider

[beccaelizabeth]

It says in one episode the Waverider has 36 compartments.

That includes the bridge, possibly Rip's office off the bridge, the engine room, the library, individual cabins, a kitchen before and a big kitchen dining room now, the med bay, the room with the fabric fabricator, the bit around the exit door, and the secret compartment. ETA: And the cell Rip said wasn't for long term. /eta. Plus corridors, and who knows how Gideon counts those.

Which leaves you to wonder, why do they practice fight right next to the exit doors?

They built a huge great library, why is there no designated fighting area?

Also, it means every time Len was lounging around on the floor in a doorway or at the end of the stairs, he was doing so in preference to... all of that.

... the man is a pain in the arse cat.



I know the our universe reason is they hadn't built the sets, but it do leave some character consequences if it's actually pretty big in there.



Also they can plausibly pull anything out of storage if there's that much of it.

It's possible that "compartments" includes closets - any air-sealable unit. (We will ignore whether closets actually make sense in a spaceship where cubic is at a premium. Maybe not room closets, but other storage compartments.)

I could see "library" being built into the ship, and "fighting arena" not - but yeah, they could ajdust the storage area or something to actually work well for fighting, or use the prison cell thing, or something like that.

There's a part of me that thinks the whole show is easier to accept if I believe the air Gideon is pumping through the ship causes mild hallucinations and some of what we're seeing is flat-out not there.

like they built or at least renovated the library quite recent, Jax mentions it, so it seems like something fightier would be more their style.

forgot to list the cell, will add.

yeah, we don't know any sizes, closets could be, or that bit under the floor Len hid in.

... hallucinations are a tempting explanation, but I'll continue to seek a plausible floorplan ...

I mean they have stairs but only the one set on the way out, so is it all one floor else? but some ceilings are super high and others aren't, so there could be space for more, in some bits of a very irregularly shaped ship.
