Ron. The man they call Ron...
 
Refrain:<br>
He robbed from the rich<br>
and he gave to the poor.<br>
Stood up to Ber-man<br>
and gave him what for.<br>
Our love for him now<br>
ain't hard to explain.<br>
The hero of Scifi<br>
the man they call Ron.
 
Our Ron saw the Trekkies' backs breakin'.<br>
He saw the Trekkies'lament.<br>
And he saw Bermanga breakin'<br>
every thing that Trek had meant
 
So he said "You can't do that to my people."<br>
He said "You can't crush them under your heel."<br>
So Ron strapped on his hat<br>
and in 5 seconds flat<br>
fixed everythin' Bermanga had spoiled.
 
(Refrain)
 
Now here is what separates heroes<br>
from common folk like you and I.<br>
The man they call Ron<br>
He turned 'round the genre,<br>
made sure scifi would never die.
 
He dropped it onto our houses<br>
he dropped it into our hearts.<br>
The man they called Ron<br>
he stole away our pain<br>
and headed out for the stars!

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.


Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici
"By the power of Truth, I, while living, have conquered the Universe"



Remember, remember, the Fifth of November
Fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words...they are perspectives
"....Governments should be afraid of their people"

On 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.

I would like to welcome all 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."
"Are my methods unsound?"
"I don't see...any "method" at all, sir."

STAR TREK

"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."
