The Providence Place mall is a lot wierder than the Promenade.. built by a crooked mayor as part of the city's 'renaissance', its been the biggest improvement in Providence for years, along with the associated downtown rearrangement that has made this such an improved city. its also an overengineered, overcommercial, gaudy monstrosity with six levels and more confusion (and casualties) than most public buildings.
No Klingon restaurant though.. PetaQ!!!!

Yes. You didn't see that ugly thing hanging on the Promenada? It was some sort of aquatic creature, even if it wasn't the traditional Earth definition of "fish" ...

Call it "Babsy" again, and I will kill you.
DS9 wasn't shot in widescreen anyway (at least up to season 6). They did make sure that the shots would work with the tops and bottoms cut off, but there is no extra stuff at the side.
At least that's what I read.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I saw it several times on the show, actually. There's a big picture of it in The Making of Star Trek Deep Space Nine

Babylon 5, which is, I guess, in pseudo-widescreen, or something. They talk about it a lot in rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.moderated, but it's a scary place.
Now then. Looks ok if you cut the tops and bottoms off? So as to pretend it is widescreen, when in fact it is letterboxed without any reason to letterbox? I AM ON TO YOU CLEVER HOLLYWOOD TYPES!!
Honestly, that is the worst crime ever.

Actually, I believe that B5 is shot in genuine widescreen, and then the sides are cut off for TV (as most current widescreen shows, such as Buffy, do). The title sequences are in widescreen, and apparently show the full picture, but I've never been arsed enough to check.

I used to think that, too...until "Severed Dreams." Y'know how at the end of that episode, there's the big applause scene....& the camera zooms in on the ripped-down "TRAITORS CAN'T HIDE" poster? I was watching the so called "widescreen" version on Sci-Fi many eons ago & you couldn't see the poster very well because the words were obscured by the black bars at the top & bottom. So bogus widescreen it is.

I agree. They shot the titles equences in WS, but nothing else. As soon as they started churngin out WS stuff - the pilot or one of the movies was first, I think - the faking was obvious.
