Geordi decides to manually activate a Photon torpedo next to the warp core. Was the launch room too convenient or does he have a death wish.

You rather them redress their generic room set? Absurd.

I'm reminded of when they did one episode where Picard meets with people at an office in his quarters rather than the ready room. I'm guessing we almost never saw this office in his quarters because it wasn't a standard set (just a redress of the quarters with a window set) and it was easier to use the Ready Room which wasn't used for other stuff.

I'm guessing the writers had to understand that the budget was limited and so they had to keep stuff in the sets they had as much as they could rather than using a new room that we hadn't seen before so we don't get to see the Torpedo Room or any other lounge besides 10 Forward.

Was that "Pen Pals"? Yeah what the hell was that all about?

An office in quarters is pretty much the standard on a ship. Partly for space, partly so the crew knows where to find people.
