Previous thread, which was locked for inactivity.

The current image of a Baby Planet is misleading, as it is an example mentioned in the description as a technical exception to the trope, but one that runs by its own rules. This is when planets are treated like towns/cities in Space Opera because Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale and of course, Space Is an Ocean. I think the concept is so difficult to picture that it's a BUPKIS candidate, in fact.

Hmmmm...the current does seem to be illustrating Baby Planet more than Planetville, and that page already has a good pic.

I think pulling might be a good idea.

I'll throw in my hat for "Pull". Anyone else?
