Carson Beckett/Paul McGillion Thunk Thread

[Aang]

...I had to watch it to be sure nobody was screwing with me when I found out what the episode was about (I didn't believe it at first until I watched the episode) and I won't lie, it was a good episode...until Carson died. Then I realized they'd rather kill off the absolutely adorable Scottish doctor than have one uncharacteristically un-dramatic episode =/

Also, adorable Carson moment.

...That's our good old Carson

[Sparky She-Demon]

That's another perk about fanfiction. You get to ignore certain canon facts. Which is something I've done in my SGA story. What are your opinions on Lieutenant Cadman?

[Jae'a]

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.

It is a good episode, apart from the obvious. Some of the others had some good scenes, like Shep and Ronon with the golf and sparring. (Especially the sparring! )
And Radek's chess tournament:
Opponent: Stop doing that!
Radek: Doing what, winning?


I am glad I watched it..

[Sparky She-Demon]

So I should make myself watch it?

[Aang]

...And that moment with Carson and Elizabeth.

Carson: Oh... wait a sec. Do you have a hot date?
Elizabeth: What? How did you know that?
Carson: I was joking. But I was right. Who is it?

I loved the episode right up until well, you know what happened.

--------

As far as Cadman goes, I think she and Carson could have been a fun relationship to explore some more...I actually thought it was kind of cute how she had her little crush on Carson during Duet xD I sorta wish they hadn't, you know, ended that relationship...

[Jae'a]

So I should make myself watch it?

Well, if it helps, he dies being really brave and heroic, saving someone else's life in the process...
I made myself watch it, after stalling for about two weeks after watching the previous ep, but like I say, I'm glad I watched it.

...And that moment with Carson and Elizabeth.

Carson: Oh... wait a sec. Do you have a hot date?
Elizabeth: What? How did you know that?
Carson: I was joking. But I was right. Who is it?

Oh yeah, that was funny too. Not so fond of the guy she goes on the date with though...

[Aang]

Jae'a is right, he did die as a hero, saving someone else's life. But if you do watch it, don't follow my example. I should have waited until I was in the safety of my room, alone, instead of watching it out in the lounge where everyone got to see me sobbing like a little baby...xD

And as far as the guy Lizzie dated, I didn't like him much either. I only giggled at Carson's comments right then xD

[Sparky She-Demon]

Who would you have rather her gone on the date with?

[Jae'a]

Who would you have rather her gone on the date with?

Radek!
Nah, I dunno, there's lots of people there we don't see, there's gotta be someone less smarmy and smug than that guy

[Sparky She-Demon]

I think my views on who Elizabeth should have been on the date with are well spoken for. Especially given my screen name.

[Jae'a]

I think my views on who Elizabeth should have been on the date with are well spoken for. Especially given my screen name.

Oh yes, of course!
Why is that pairing called 'Sparky' anyway? (If we can go a bit OT for a moment)

[Aang]

I never really gave Lizzie's love life too much thought, I was too busy fan-girling over Carson for the first three seasons and then when Lizzie disappeared from the show, I was torn. See, I loved Lizzie and was sad to see her go, but they brought in my Colonel Carter to take her place. Carter was my SG-1 favorite from the beginning so I didn't know whether to be upset Lizzie was gone or happy Sam was coming to Atlantis...xD

I think I need to re-watch Atlantis now that I've sped through to see all the episodes with Carson in them. I need to pay more attention to the other characters. o_o

e/ To make this more on topic, I've decidedly become addicted to that dang SGA scene in the jumper where Carson just kinda out of nowhere: MY TURTLES!! (I linked it up there)

[Sparky She-Demon]

Sparky is a name for the pairing of John Sheppard and Elizabeth Weir. There are other names for that 'ship, but that is the one that I prefer.

[Aang]

Ironically, I was just about to say I could see Lizzie and John together o_o'

[Sparky She-Demon]

Yes. I can see those two together. Hence my screen name and the focus of my story "The World Goes On". Carson does play a pretty good part in the story. And so will a certain blonde major (we knew her as a lieutenant on SGA)!
