Working Title: The Hellgate: From YKTTW

Peteman: I removed the Wormhole from Star Trek: DS 9, since it doesn't really lead to anywhere that bad. It's unsafe for the uninitiated, but it's a stable wormhole, and they actually landed inside at some points (alright, it leads to the Gamma Quadrant, which is the home base of the Dominion, but there are plenty of decent species out there).

Meta Four: I think the defining feature of a Hellgate is that its primary plot function is to allow (or threatens to allow) Bad Things to come through. I've never seen DS 9, so I don't know if the wormhole would qualify by that standard. But I see someone else added it back already.


Austin:

"The Silent Hill series at points implies there's a Hellgate in the town. "

When?
