Carson Beckett/Paul McGillion Thunk Thread

[ScottishCandy]

Loving those horse pics. I am so lost and need to get caught up here. What's been going on? Oh ya and my Mommie is ok.

[TJinLOCA]

There you are, Tj. Your very own Carson clone with hair, dimples and smile to swoon and thunk over, and the eyes, the eyes...

SQUEE!! Thanks, Twinny!

(I have a newbie-ish question for you, though ... how can you tell how many posts you have in a particular thread? )

I'll be there, too. But only for Paul on Sunday. Are you meeting up with anyone?

A bunch of GWers are going out to dinner Friday night. I'm hoping I have my luggage by then. Say hi if you see me on Sunday - I'll be pretty visible in bright red Wallace tartan (with a 9-year-old in tow wearing his "Save Carson" shirt)!

SQUEE!! Thanks, Twinny!

(I have a newbie-ish question for you, though ... how can you tell how many posts you have in a particular thread? )

There are two possibilities to find out. When in the "Characters and Relationships" folder you have your mouse go over the envelop next to the thread, it shows you via pop-up how many posts you have in that particular thread. Or you can click on the number of replies, then you get a detailed statistic of how many posts every single poster who ever posted in here has achieved in the thread. Your count is 192, mine 462 and HyperCaz is still leading with over 1.400 posts. And when I looked it up, I realized leighanners has now exactly 1.000 posts in here.

Congrats on gorgeous posts
in this thread, leighanners!

I've got something special for you for this occasion...

Beckett peekage from 'The Gift'

And now I want to celebrate my own 800th post accordingly!

Thank you all for making my stay here such a joy!

Give me the pleasure of celebrating with you, I even dish out home-made cream-filled Carson pops and champaign for all of age...

If I can still ad some pics, I'll of course won't miss the opportunity to give and take some much-needed Carson-love...




BTW, just yesterday happened to watch the Paul McGillion profile on the season two DVD box, which arrived last weekend. It was a real treat to watch and at the same time really upset me because after all the wonderful and positive things they'd said about PM and CB, how in all good heavens did they get to the conclusion that they could simply dispose of such a fantastic guy and character?!

That's great news, ScottishCandy!!!! I'm so glad your mom is in the clear now. As for what's been going on here? Um, lots of eye-candy of course, some venting about upcoming tests of various sorts, I don't even remember anymore. lol That's probably a sign of a good active week, huh?

All of you lucky little buggers going to the Chicago con, have a wonderful time and make sure Paul sees our love and support! And, as The One Who Must Enjoy Cons Vicariously Through the Lucky Ones, I just would like to beg that you guys bring back pictures, stories, etc. of your fun there! Pretty please?

Oh, off-topic, but I found out one of my old friends on a different sci-fi board who is suffering from bone cancer is no longer responding to treatment. Since this is a thread dedicated to a doctor anyway, would you be kind enough to send some prayers/thoughts/wishes of good health her way? I don't know whether such things help, but if they do I want all the strength possible going to her. Thank you.

Oh dear... I think that is a bit to much for my poor little brain this late at night *falls out of chair*

Oh I know!! Whenever I watch that profile I get so mad when whatshisface is going on about how they hope to have CB on the show for many seasons to come. The dufous head nincompoop.... *sputters*

Congrats to TJ on her 300th post and Twin on her 800th, and to everyone else with a post landmark.
To all you guys going to Chicago, take lots of pics for the rest of us who don't have the real thing with us

On a cheerier note here's Carson doing what doctors do..

I'm so sorry to hear that, Seti. Twinchy and I will light a candle for her tonight.

And, ehm, Rocky, unfortunately you have a small typo with the pic [/IIMG], therefore we can't see the thunk-worthy pic.
Nevermind, it's this one


Thanks for the congrats, all!

[*Oda*]

Thanks for the heads up Twin, funny thing is I actually saw and thought I corrected it, pressed "Save" and everything but I guess it didn't go through..weird.
" But thankfully I got people like you to make sure the gutter is never deprived of thunkage

Good night everyone, well good morning/ afternoon depending on your location, is it still morning in slovenia Oda?
I'm geographically challenged, sorry

[sunday]

Good afternoon all.

Hey and congratulations leighanners on your 1000 posts
AND
Congratulations twinchaosblade on your 800 posts Also great triple thunk me likey
AND
Congratulations to TJinLOCA for you 300 posts

idlewild you have some beautiful horses, great photos of you show jumping too! You look like you belong on those horses.

Sunday's quotes were really good too. The scenes with Carson in 'Letters from Pegasus' always crack me up. But I also loved Zelenka's account on the rise of Atlantis. That was such a joy to watch him... And his line about the security clearance afterwards was simply classic!

Thank! Yea me too, i love that episode because of those moments. oh yea that too was a great scene. Truly a classic

G'night thunkers!! I'm leaving for Chicago in the morning.Got my tickets, got my camera, got my photo op, got my Save Carson T-shirt ... I think I'm all set. Talk to y'all soon!

I'll be there, too. But only for Paul on Sunday. Are you meeting up with anyone?

You guys are so lucky. Well have a great time and bring back some photos for us all
It's great to hear you mum is doing good ScottishCandy

I'm sorry to hear about your friend seti, i will put her in my prayers

I watched that and i was exactly the same sooo . I remember shouting at the telly "If you liked him so much, then why did you have to go and kill him" And it really bugged me when they were like "lets hope we get to find out more about Carson, his background and all that." How can we when you kill him!!! GGGRRR!

Well im off to get some lunch, bye all


OOHH, a double thunk

[SETI_fan]

Thank you for the kind wishes and prayers for my friend! I'll be sure to mention them in the card I'm sending. I remember reading in Social Psych that such things seem to work most when the person knows they're being prayed for/thought of.

Sounds like that profile on the DVDs is a frustrating (though I'm sure interesting) watch! I've been trying to give the writers something of the benefit of the doubt as far as killing off Carson. In Martin Gero's interview on the Gateworld homepage, he mentioned that they didn't just kill Beckett off on a whim, that some situation demanded they to do it and they weren't happy about it, or something like that. And somebody (Mallozzi?) mentioned that the network loved Paul and the character, so I'm not sure where the pressure was from. I wish I knew more about the inner workings of TV production, though it may just frustrate me more. Just working on campaigns for my cancelled TV shows was troubling enough to see how much business overrules art in these cases.

re: pics -- Aw, love that smile. Nice double thunk and always great to see him doing doctor work.
