Carson Beckett/Paul McGillion Thunk Thread

[Sparky She-Demon]

I like the sound of *that*!

[Aang]

Yeah me too. It was really quite good and I'm keeping my eye out for Paul to make any convention appearances in the future that I could possibly make it to because so much wanting to meet him now haha!

[Sparky She-Demon]

The pictures on this page have been a major drooling fest for me! I love those eyes!

[Aang]

No kidding, I was wasting data time on my iPhone coming to GateWorld just to stare at those pictures. Thankfully I'm in my dorm room once again with my laptop so I don't need to spend more of my data right now and I can spend more time looking at those eyes as well =)

I'm a sucker for blue eyes. In case you haven't noticed!

[Aang]

I'm a sucker for blue eyes too, to be honest. Hence why I keep scrolling up to look at the pictures of Paul/Carson I've always liked blue eyes. But I like them best with dark hair (like brown shades, the way Paul/Carson's hair is in most of SGA, though I still love those eyes even when his hair is lighter) because it makes the blue eyes stand out more.

Oh yeah, I found out also from that DC 2009 Paul McGillion video I mentioned before that Dr. Beckett was the first character cast for SGA -- Paul was the first actor they chose for the show -- This makes me unreasonably happy.

[Sparky She-Demon]

That makes me glad as well. The writers knew what they were doing then! Killing Carson off= very bad idea!

[McBecklover]

Eep. How nice to get online to see a whole new page of pictures to scroll through and squee over =D

...I found out yesterday night that at the 2009 DragonCon, Paul McGillion was the only Atlantis cast member to make it for the panel. The others showed up the next day for autograph signing but Paul did the whole panel by himself. It was quite hilarious to watch on youtube, though I am a little bit miffed that that happened before I knew who he was o.-

I know how you feel! I cant believe that he was actually in MY country, in MY state, just like 20mins away, only last year!! AND I KNEW HE WAS HERE AT THE TIME!! But I didnt go coz I was only new to SGA & didnt really know him yet!! Now I'm like OMG WHY DIDNT I GO!!!?????? I am absolutly KICKING MYSELF!!!

But on the flipside, I died laughing towards the end. Paul was doing a trivia question and was going to give away his copy of the script from the last episode of SGA. He started to introduce the question and I couldn't help but laugh.

Paul: Okay. The episode Sunday. You all remember that right?
*The crowd squeals loudly*
Paul (Beckett's voice, whining a little): I hated that episode. That's the one when they killed Carson.

Also fell over laughing at Paul's description of a prank Joe Flanigan pulled on him. I forget the episode but it was one where Carson and I think Rodney had to carry this Athosian man on a stretcher and Dr. Beckett had his big med kit backpack on. Joe kept coming over and asking Paul if he was OK because he was sweating so much while he and David tried to lift the stretcher. When Joe left the set, he'd told one of the crew to tell Paul to look in his bag at the end of the day. Turns out Joe had put like fifty pounds of rocks in Beckett's backpack (one at a time, every time he came over to talk to Paul), which is why Paul was having such a time lifting the stretcher (beside the fact that it was a wooden stretcher and kind of clumsy to move) ROFL

Yes that was quite funny

I actually found it on youtube, it was posted in six parts. It was DC 2009 Paul McGillion Panel Nearly a solid hour or so of just Paul

I watched that on youtube as well

I'm keeping my eye out for Paul to make any convention appearances in the future that I could possibly make it to because so much wanting to meet him now haha!

SAME HERE!! I sooo hope he comes back to Perth Australia sometime soon! I want to meeet him!!!
But in the meantime I'm quite enjoying the replies i'm getting from him on twitter

Yes I just love his blues & brown hair - I too have always loved that & I always had a soft spot for the Scottish accent - then Paul comes along & is all this in one!! the perfect man! OMG i love him!

yes that is so kool & he is also the very first American to go through the gate as the young 'Ernest Littlefield' in SG1's "The Torment of Tantalus".

[Sparky She-Demon]

I'll have to find that episode. What season is "The Torment of Tantalus" in?

[Jae'a]

It's a dead early one - first season.

[Sparky She-Demon]

That's good. I have that season of SG1. I'll have to hunt for it later!

[Aang]

I loved that episode already....now I love it more because Paul McGillion makes everything better =D I'll have to watch it after class...

[Sparky She-Demon]

On the internet during class? Tsk, tsk.

Have you watched "Sunday" yet?

[Aang]

Yes. Yes I was on the internet during class.

...And yes, I did watch Sunday...I made the mistake of watching it in the student lounge at school, so roughly 20-30+ people got to see me break down and cry when Carson died. And cry I did. I haven't had the guts to go back and watch that episode again because I know I'll cry again.

...Killing Carson WAS a bad idea. I really didn't like Jennifer Keller that much in the first handful of her episodes to be honest. Carson was adorable when he was scared or nervous about something...Jennifer seemed to be scared of her own shadow for a while...I mean for crap sakes, you're in the Pegasus Galaxy on an alien planet, being hunted by the Bola-Kai and you're afraid of not the weapons or the possibility of wraith nearby but the rope bridge? ....The hell? I can see Beckett being a little nervous when Weir had him sitting in the Ancient Chair the first few times because, like, fate of the planet &/or galaxy on his shoulders right there but Keller was a little ridiculous xD

[Sparky She-Demon]

I haven't watched "Sunday". Yet. I can't make myself watch it. But I've heard that its an excellent episode, so that's a draw.

I don't know much about Keller, but even w/o the issues of being scared of her own shadow, I vastly prefer Carson to her. He's much nicer to look at...
