And don't forget to duck and cover.

 

[Therin of Andor]

Therin Park was coined in 2004 by Heather Jarman, and named for my Star Trek alter ego, in the novel, "Andor: Paradigm", in "Worlds of Deep Space Nine, Book 1".

But eeek! About a year ago, TerriO, briefly made reference on this bbs, as to how I might feel about what she'd "done to Andor" in her "Starfleet Corps of Engineers" eBook, "Remembrance of Things Past, Book 1" (2007). Now, I'm so far behind in my ST reading, so I haven't given the now-defunct eBook range much of a look-in, but an excerpt just turned up now in a Google search!

Wow. I thought she was joking! I'm honoured, Terri0. I think. So, had the park just been rebuilt in time for David Mack to um, "salute" it again in "Destiny"? Welcome to Ground Zero. Don't feed the thizzards.

 

[TerriO]

Ian, dear, look up about a half-meter. The point appears to have left contrails.

"If we build it, they will come..."

 

[TerriO]

And blow it straight to hell?

 

[Allyn Gibson]

At this point, there's no point in rebuilding Therin Park. It's a magnet for death and destruction.

The Andorians should salt the ground so nothing there will grow again, then lift off and nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Therin Crater has a lovely ring to it.

Or is that ringing in my ears?

 

[David Mack]

^ Glad you appreciated the homage. Sorry 'bout your park, though.

Shouldn't the park be a charred wasteland in that picture.

 

[TerriO]

With burning, dessicated corpses, blackened beyond recognition. Some victims nothing more than shadows on the ground......

Really, planetary bombardment until its destruction is the only way left to rid this universe of the cancer that is Therin Park. Nobody should ever name a location that again, just to keep the curse from reappearing and taking more lives. And since it was cursed by a very determined witch, it'll continue.

 

[Therin of Andor]

It's the before shot.

Actually, before "The Aenar", which probably suggests some fake snow would be seen between flowerings.

And since it was cursed by a very determined witch, it'll continue.

Gosh, I'm glad we are friends.

I smiled when I saw the reference too. I'm still waiting to see "Elemental Planet"; the galaxy's new pleasure planet now that Risa is gone.

 

[Plecostomus]

Therin's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, blue icing flowing down...
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!

OOOH NOOOOOOOO

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! *trail off into the distance*

Whatever happened to Wrigley's Pleasure Planet and Argelius?

 

[Stevil2001]

They were bought out by Fhloston Paradise.

GUARDS!!!!!

Darlin', I'd just be glad you're on the other side of the planet if I were you.

Let this be a lesson, never, ever, ever let yourself get a swelled head over a silly little thing like a character/place name again, 'kay?

Because the more it gets talked about, the more it tempts people to nuke the holy hell out of it to make it stop being talked about.

At last, my job here is done.

Amusing twist to this thread...

But that was a sad scene.
