Carson Beckett/Paul McGillion Thunk Thread

[Dellruby]

I'm just Sneaking in for a peek around befroe I have to leave, cars all packed, and I'm just waiting for the lemon Meringue pie to finish baking, so I can take it

[Aang]

I gotta admit, I do love how the kilt outfit came out. I hesitate to put him back in the SGA uniform because the kilt is too epic...xD

...So I was watching a video of Pauly at Armageddon Con 2009(?) in Australia. I had to listen to it twice to catch what he said. He was talking about the episode Sunday and what happened when he was first told it would be the end of Beckett. He was like *Scottish accent* "But ye can't kill Carson! He's like... a puppy!" And I was like "D'AWWW" *snuggles plushie* xD

[e] LOL at the fact that the one Sanctuary episode I can't stream is the one with Terrence Wexford aka Pauly...FAIL.

[e2] I mean ONE of the episodes with Pauly. Second one streams like a charm

[Sparky She-Demon]

So... he didn't want to leave the show, the writers just wrote the character out. And after the fans raised Holy HELL (pardon my language, nothing else seems to work), they wrote him back in. Talk about fan POWER!!

I'd like to know where that clip is from of him talking about "Sunday". Which I still haven't gotten around to watching...

[Aang]

Ah yep that about sums it up. And Paul was very grateful to his fans for the whole "Save Carson Beckett" thing and getting him back on SGA

I'll locate that video shortly, it was only a short section of a larger video but if I can find it, I will xD

...Oh and is it bad I about died laughing when I was watching one of the Sanctuary episodes with Pauly in it and saw the whole Komodo Dragon frills thing? I knew he was an Abnormal but I laughed so hard when I saw the full extent of it. XDD

[McBecklover]

Yes I think I saw that clip, so cute
Also I read about how the fans were the reason Pauly got back on Atlantis.

Spoiler:

Right after I had watched "Sunday" for the first time last year & I was so upset I couldn't watch anymore until I looked on the net to see if he returns from the dead as I was so hoping & OMG...
I came across news articles & newspapers & websites all talking about the "Save Carson Beckett" worldwide campaign & that they had a petition going, they had shirts, banners, the website "SaveCarsonBeckett.com", they even got Pauly to do a photo with them & he was wearing one of their shirts & helping to hold their banner! OMG go us Beckett fans!

Then I came across a Scottish newspaper article that said that a certain beloved Scottish actor was returned to the show, due to the successful campaign! I had jumped into the air so high & was like
'YES!!!! omg omg omg hes not gone, hes not gone, hes not gone, hes coming back, he coming BACK!!!'
*screams like a super excited fangirl* (literally) I had the house to myself for a month... lol



Even Pauly him self wrote a letter ->http://www.sfx.co.uk/2007/04/05/the_scot_in_the_sky/

Congrats to those who helped bring him back to Atlantis!! I just freakin love the guy!

[Aang]

D'AWAWWWWW. I just read Pauly's letter and I'm sitting here grinning stupidly because he's so freaking sweet <33

When I read about Sunday, I couldn't accept that Carson was truly gone. So what do I do? Google search SGA and read about seasons 4 and 5, where I found mention of a Carson Clone. I still cried like a baby at Sunday, but I sat there crying and thinking "I can take a little comfort in the fact that Carson does come back in Season 4..." <3

Still, I felt like a piece of my heart died when Carson died because SGA just felt so empty without him and then a few episodes later, without Lizzie...I only kept watching because a) I already knew Carson would reappear somehow (still love the "WTF" look on Shep, Ronon and McKay's faces when they found Clone!Carson XD) and b) I couldn't decide whether to be upset over Lizzie or not because they replaced her with my SG-1 favorite, Sam xD

[Sparky She-Demon]

As much as I like the Sam Carter character, I still don't like that she replaced Elizabeth.

[Aang]

As much as I like the Sam Carter character, I still don't like that she replaced Elizabeth.

Well I was upset it was Lizzie she replaced, but since I knew 10 SG-1 seasons of Sam before I knew much about Lizzie, I have to admit I was happy Sam came to Atlantis but upset it was only to replace Lizzie...

[Sparky She-Demon]

Hmph. Still like Lizzie better.

[Aang]

=/ I fully admit SGA wasn't the same without Lizzie. I'm just saying since Sam was my favorite from SG-1 before I even started watching SGA...I was kind of happy to find she was going to be on Atlantis before I found out -why- it was happening. Also, Sam bothered me for a while on Atlantis...I can't put my finger on why though. For SGA purposes, I do like Lizzie better...but back at SG-1, when Lizzie spent an episode in charge of the SGC though, I liked Sam better. Also, Sam is better than Woolsey at least.

[Sparky She-Demon]

You know, I never liked the nickname "Lizzie" personally.

[Aang]

Nehh I just took to calling her that recently, but it does sound kind of childish to be honest xD I do believe Elizabeth fits her better

[Sparky She-Demon]

I like being called by my full name. Never liked it when people called me "Lizzie".

[Aang]

Oh wow hold on a sec. Connection made. *brain spark* Your name is Elizabeth. Well mine's Emily and I'm used to being called "Em" but when people try to call me "Emmy" other than my parents, I don't like it xD

Off topic but GRAWRRR my mother didn't go to the post office yesterday. So now I have to wait longer for my SGA Season 2...dang it all. xD

You'll get to see the hilarious episode that is known as "Duet" in SGA season 2. And you'll get to hear the immortal line, "You're on a date Rodney? With a woman?"

Yes my name is Elizabeth. I thought you would catch me when I said that I never liked the nickname "Lizzie" personally. And before you ask, yes the fact that there was a character named Elizabeth was a draw to the show.
