Story time: it was probably about ten years ago when my mother finally accepted the fact that her nerdy husband had given her five nerdy children who all liked Star Trek. Therefore, recognizing that Deep Space Nine was the only series we didn’t own on DVD, she took it upon herself to order the complete series online.
When the DVDs arrived, however, it quickly became clear that she’d accidentally ordered some bootlegs from China.
As it turns out, the episodes are in English, they just come with Mandarin subtitles. So we kept them, accepting the fact that you have to turn off the subtitles before you watch and that sometimes the fourth episode on the disk cuts off early.
However… the covers are what make these truly beautiful. Because they’re clearly put together by someone with limited resources who’s never actually seen the show. I’ve taken high quality scans so I can demonstrate to you all.
