'''I am a trafficker of information, I know everything I can.''' 


The question is, do ''you'' know why you are here?  You came to BSWiki for information, yes, but this is not a reason, this is not a ''why''.  This information itself, its very nature, is a means, it is not an end, and so, to search for it is to be looking for a means to do...what?

What do *''I''* want?  What do all men with power want?  More power.

On [http://www.memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/These_Are_the_Voyages... May 13, 2005], an elite Trek fan was sent to prison by a military court for a crime he didn't commit. This man promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the internet underground. Today, still wanted by the government, he survives as a soldier of fortune. If you have a question, if no one else can help, and if you can find him, maybe you can ask ''The Merovingian''.

"In approaching our subject with the sensibilities of statisticians and dissectionsists, we distance ourselves increasingly from the marvelous and spell-binding world of imagination whose gravity drew us into our studies in the first place...This is not to say that we should cease to establish facts and to verify our information, but merely to suggest that unless those facts can be imbued with the flash of poetic insight then they remain dull gems; semi-precious stones scarcely worth the collecting..."

I would like to welcome all [[Battlestar Wiki:Translation Project|German language viewers]] of BSG, who just recently were exposed to the joys of BSG when "33" premiered in Germany on February 8th, 2006.  I would like to welcome them with a traditional Teutonic greeting:  ''Wenn ist das Nunstück git und Slotermeyer? Ja! ... Beiherhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt gersput!''

"This Merovingian guy? He's wacko, man! He's worse than crazy. He's evil. It's, it's frakkin' pagan idolatry!"

"Hey, man, you don't talk to the Merovingian. You ''listen'' to him. The man's enlarged my mind. He's a poet-warrior in the Classic sense. I mean sometimes he'll... uh...well, you'll say "hello" to him, right? And he'll just walk right by you. He won't even notice you. And suddenly he'll grab you, and he'll throw you in a corner, and he'll say, "do you know that "if" is the middle word in life? If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you..."

"They told me that you had gone totally insane, Merovingian, and that your methods were unsound."<br>
"''Are'' my methods unsound?"<br>
"I don't see...any "method" at ''all'', sir." 


==Currently Working On==

"''An Evening With The Merovingian''", a fan-made one and a half hour video podcast in which I explain many of the ins and outs of ''Battlestar Galactica'', including basic terminology encountered on the show (such as [[CAG]] and [[Hack]]), trivia, randomly intersperced "Better Know a Cast Member" segments, a guide to major plot threads running in the series, and [[Cylon agent speculation]].  A full half hour will be devoted to a segment titled "''The Decline and Fall of the Star Trek Media Empire''", explaining the decline of Star Trek under the [[Wikipedia:Rick Berman|Rick Berman]] years on ''Voyager'' and ''Enterprise'', analyzing the mistakes that were made and how BSG [[Naturalistic science fiction|avoids them]] (this may eventually grow into a separate podcast entirely).  There will also be an "Evolution of the Word "[[Frak]]"" segment, where I show that "Frak" is the culmination of years of bowlderized curse words, starting with Eddie's cutting "Lofasz!" remark in ''Blade Runner'', through ''smeg'', ''frag'', and ''frell'', and finally, ''frak''.  There will be punch and pie.

"When I first took command of this post, all I wanted was to be somewhere else. Anywhere but here. But now, four years later, this station has become my home. And you've become my family. Leaving this place, leaving you, is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do....I promise, I will not rest until I stand with you again. Here. In this place. Where I belong."
