Carson Beckett/Paul McGillion Thunk Thread

[Fainne]

I was getting tired of the forum looking so generic, so I spent half the night working up some graphics for it. Check it out and tell me what you think: http://www.carsonbeckett.com/forum - I'm rather proud of it There are three different header images on rotate, so you'll see different ones when the page reloads.

Idlewild and Haliyah, if you want to change it to match the design you are working on for the rest of the site, feel free. I just wanted it to look more Carsony than it was

yeah - the new style looks awesome!!!

[*Oda*]

I'm back guys. I was expecting a lot of pages, but thankfully, you didn't, so it was easy reading for me.

Time at the desk in the office: getting paid to thunk. Love it.

Trying to get caught up! I'm glad some of you are having a great time, and sorry some aren't having as much fun. Hope you're all surviving April Fool's Day without any major pranks played on you.

My mum said, it was snowing at home, while I was in Switzerland. I believed her, since she usually isn't a joker. She told me next day it was a prank.

Also, the guy next to me, when seeing the pic of Paul said, "Aw, man. Ben Affleck?" Never saw that resemblance before. Matthew Perry sometimes, yeah, but Ben Affleck?

Oda, have a wonderful time on your trip!

Thanks, I had a great time.

Good luck to all of those ill and going for surgery!

I've been a bit absent lately, but I made a new Carson wallpaper:

It's beautiful.

The dinner auction item is open for bids!

And how sweet is this photo?

I wish I'd won the lottery recently so I could bid on it. Of course it's supposed to be with both Paul and Jewel ... I'd pay more for a dinner with just Paul alone!

Oh, what a cute photo!
I agree with you on the just-Paul-and-me-dinner.

I have two photo, Jenner might be very interested in.

We had a blast! It was an amazing experience and I'm glad I saw all the museums and factories and all the maintenance facilities. Too bad, they didn't elt us take photos in any of the factories, but we took a lot of pictures at the museums.
I can't tell you how I felt, when I saw the Tornado up close, touched it and seen the cockpit up close. I also saw the Eurofighter and others.
But I almost hyperventilated when we stepped into a hangar full of F-18s. Seriously, I almost burst into tears, cause at that moment, I felt ecstatic. One of my favourite airplanes and I was so close. It was amazing.

Anyway, I had a great time, and if you lot want to see a picture or two, I'll post alonk when I upload them.

There are some lovely full page photos, WARNING!! SPOILERS for upcoming eps and on a seperate page, as part of TV Zone's review of Kindred Part 1, this lovely nod to the campaign:

*********
"Couldn't you just hear the squeals of delight reverbarating around living rooms (or dens) across America. Whether you agree with it or not, that whole 'Save Carson Beckett' protest was an interesting little exercise in how fans can dictate to the writers if they try hard enough, but will the writers have the last laugh with their treatment of the loved Scottish doctor in his handful of episodes?"
*********

.: Aieee! *squee* Love the picture of him smiling on the last page!

[Luciana]

And the guy beside him is kind of strange looking.
Isn't he?

[Reiko]

And the guy beside him is kind of strange looking.
Isn't he?

.: What other guy? No, seriously I did not notice him at first. He was irrelevant

.: He looks like the guy from those old kung fu movies. Kind of goes along with what some people were saying about Carson's kung-fu prisoner jacket

[Luciana]

I didn't noticed him first as well.
As I was about closing the window I suddenly saw him!
Very scary!
First, he wasn't there...but suddenly he appeared!
*giggles*

You're right.
Looks like a old kung-fu master or something like this.

[Reiko]

.: Yeah, that Kung Fu outfit they found Carson in ... *shakes head* Unflattering

.: I'm just glad Michael let him shave. I would have probably scream for completely different reasons if he had grown an uncombed, six-inch long beard. That would be the first thing to go when they returned to Atlantis

[Luciana]

You should talk to Fainne about the shaving.

But you're right.
Horrible thought... finally you see him again...and the first thing you see is a "uncombed, six-inch long beard".

"Hey Carson. Where have you been?
Did you live with some vikings or what?"

[jetflair]

Eeeeeew! No bearded Carson! Now that would have been an unnerving way to welcome him back to the show.

Reminds me of the ep where Sheppard gets stuck living with the ascending ancients for six months, and grows the super-stubble-on-crack. Did they only give him scissors to shave with or something? Or was that a bout of "life sucks so I'm going to grow a beard?"

Welcome back, Oda!

[Reiko]

.: Ha - I think I know what you mean by "the shaving" Which makes me wonder if Michael let him shower. Well, he let the guy shave, so why not shower? We didn't find him looking like a grizzly bear; any doubt he would smell like one? (Though, heck - Carson and a bubble bath )

.: Rodney (On the way back to Atlantis): And the beard will have to go.

[Luciana]

This beard thing reminds me of a fairytale.
Snow White and Rose Red.
Do you know it?

.: Would they have scissors? Though that other guy was pretty much clean-shaven. Though, I think the "life sucks, grow a beard" also works. Six months - I would certainly doubt my team was coming back if I was in his place. Plus, stuck with the pansy wannabes doesn't make things much better

This beard thing reminds me of a fairytale.
Snow White and Rose Red.
Do you know it?

.: I think I know Snow White, but not Rose Red. Admittedly when I was a little girl, I wasn't too fond of fairytales. When all the other girls wanted to be princesses I wanted to be a vampire.
