Carson Beckett/Paul McGillion Thunk Thread

[HeatherOnTheHill]

Heh...we got married at that camp (actually a retreat center). All of our friends arrived for the wedding rehearsal and complained about lack of signal. I said, "Try two summers of it!" Here's some pics:

Spoiler:

I loved the dress, wasn't so fond of the train. It thankfully came off!

My nieces carrying the evil train. This is one of my favorite photos.

[Aang]

Oh! That's so pretty!

Hey wait, my summer camp is also a retreat center in the other seasons! I'm trying to find my pics though...too many files on this stupid machine! *drop-kicks laptop*

[HeatherOnTheHill]

Oh lord, my camp photos are somewhere in a box in the garage. There was one week where I wore my hair in a different Princess Leia hairdo everyday, on a dare. Oh wait! I found a few on my computer, but they're not that exciting.

Spoiler:

I also was one of the guitarists. Lauren and I both had Yamaha guitars, so we were known as the Yamaha Mamas. This wasn't actually at camp, but at a camp fundraiser at the end of summer at a local church.

Summer of many hats! This is me in the dining hall at lunch about to do mail call.

[Aang]

I had a summer like that except I was the janitor, secretary, crafts assistant and something else I can't remember. And I was only all that because my co-worker who should have been helping me with those things was rather too busy spending her days either next to one of the only two ACs on the whole property or lying to our boss and saying she was leaving early, but telling her Mother she was working late so she could sneak off and visit her secret boyfriend. *facepalm*

D'aww. I've just put the first disc of season 1 of Atlantis on and Carson's so adorable.

*drone lights up and shoots through the roof*
What did ah do?! *scared*

You have to do something!
Like waht?!
Concentrate on shutting that thing down before someone gets hurt!

*Carson squeezes his eyes closed and focuses*
*drone shuts down less than 6 inches from O'Neill's hand*
*Carson's eyes pop open*
Ah think ah did it!

...and then how he moves to hide behind the control chair when Sheppard goes "That was you?!" and the deer in the headlights look on his face when Shep sits down and the chair lights up. That's my Dr. Beckett. *cuddle-squishes her Carson*

edit. AWWW and Carson with his Mum before he leaves for Atlantis, he's so sweet with her, like a little boy still <3 *cuddles her Carson again*

#2 Love, ye do know that Carson is Beck's, don't ye? *cheeky grin*

Aye, but you do have his memories so in a way it was you too...

AND I love how he stands up to Sumner and the lieutenant but I don't like Sumner's "That's what your sidearm is for" because sweet Carson was only trying to check his medical supplies and be sure everything he needed was there. Sumner was being way overly strict, for God's sake. *facedesk*

[HeatherOnTheHill]

I really need to watch SGA all the way through again! I loved Carson's "deer in the headlight" look! I watched SGA all messed up because I started watching SG1 from the beginning when I was pregnant with Nora and super sick in 2009. That was when Season 5 of SGA was airing, so I started watching it while finishing SG1. First episode I saw was "The Seed" and I watched the rest of Season 5, where there's no mention of Carson being a clone. I then went back and started watching SGA from the beginning. Because of that, I think I might be one of the few people who didn't get upset when I saw "Sunday." I was like, "WTF?! Huh? But he's in Season 5! Oh hell, I have to see how they resolve this one!" I didn't get online to read spoilers, so I didn't know about the Save Carson Beckett campaign. So I kept expecting Carson to show up until I sort of forgot about it until I saw "Kindred" and went, "OMG OMG OMG! It's Carson! He's back! He's a...clone. Oh well, works for me!"

[Aang]

I bawled at Sunday because I watched in order,though only started a few months ago and watched every episode in the space of two months... so I was already thoroughly Carson-Crazy. And then they blew him up. *table-flip*

I was sitting in the student lounge at my college, thoroughly enthralled with his adorableness early on in the episode when he was teasing Elizabeth about her date and how sweet he was with the one girl in the infirmary who'd sprained an ankle playing volleyball. I'd spoiled it so I knew he was to die in that episode so every adorable moment twisted my heart because I knew he was going to be killed. I sat there squealing for him to leave the infirmary, run away from the tumor...and then the explosion and I was crying. Sobbing. In the middle of the student lounge, I sobbed away the rest of the episode. I had to put a lid on it to go to class but then I went to my dorm room and hid under the covers for the rest of the day so my room mate would leave me alone in my misery that Carson was gone.

Then I pulled my laptop out at 2am, read up on the Save Carson campaign and saw they'd gotten him back in Season 4 and I had to fight not to scream with excitement that ma' Scottish lad was coming back to me

...That is to say, Sunday did upset me because I thought it was really the end of Carson. And to this day when people break out the Sunday caps, I start sniffling and crying again. Kaprikorn over on Shep's thread did it to me the other day and I literally sat here snuggling my Carson plushie and crying. I'm so pathetic when it comes to Carson.

*Comes in, looks around a bit, oh hell It's Sunday again! Retreats to a safe place*

[McBecklover]

*climbs through the hole in the wall from Shep's*
Hello love, where have ye been?
Oh I went to visit Rodney & stayed for a bit, then I went & said hello to Shep & now I'm back

Glad ye had a nice time love Now come ere & spend some time with this lad

*I move in & we kiss*


*we break apart & I notice Carson #2 sitting on his couch*
Hello Carson
#2 Hello love. Ye not seen Aang on ye travels?

No sorry, I haven't seen her
#2 Well I hope she comes home soon, I do miss her when she's out

aaaww, I'm sure she'll be home soon enough
#2 Aye, I do hope so

Why don't we put on SG1 & finish the season while we wait for Aang?
That sounds like a good idea
#2 Aye, ok then

*puts the dvd on & the 3 of us sit on one couch. one Carson either side of me (I squee at this thought) & presses play*

[McBecklover]

*runs in* Aang! Beck! This song won't get out of my head now! I had to sing it for you!

*bluuuuuushes and tiptoes back towards the door*

I finally got a round to listening to this & omg that is funny!

I bawled at Sunday because I watched in order,though only started a few months ago and watched every episode in the space of two months... so I was already thoroughly Carson-Crazy. And then they blew him up. *table-flip*

Spoilered for length & spoilers...

Spoiler:

I watched all of SGA before starting SG1 (currently waiting 2 weeks until season 9 & 10 arrive)
And as I had the box set, I watched all of Atlantis in order & I didn't know Carson would die, so imagine my complete shock when Sunday arrived! I had it on the big screen tv with surround sound & I was home alone. I was a wreck!
After the fatal scene I paused it, skipped back a few seconds & re watched it, I did this like 3 time as I couldn't believe what my eyes were seeing, & I was bawling my eyes out. Then I paused it again & ran over to the next seasons cover & there was no Carson on it! Then I looked at all the other remaining covers... no Carson! I sat there crying for like 10mins before pressing play again to watch the end of the ep & bawled even harder when I realized it was definitely true, when Rodney was packing up Carson's things (I'm thinking, its not Carson's things, he's not dead, he will wake up soon in the infirmary & he will be ok), then Rodney looks at a photo & I think (Its not Carson & Rodney, Its not Carson & Rodney, Its not Carson & Rodney!) Then Rodney pics it up & its... Carson & Rodney! I bawled even harder (if possible), then with Ronan trying to comfort him & Rodney blaming himself, my heart was being ripped out as I felt sorry for Rodney as they are best friends & then the funeral service with Teyla singing.... omg I felt like I was going to die! I was so wet from crying & my head hurt like hell & I had the "crying hiccups". Glad no-one was home that night. I then managed finish the disk, then I went online & found the "Save Carson Beckett" campaign. I read through everything carefully & hoping with all my heart they were successful, then i found article from a Scottish newspaper talking about the worldwide campaign & its success at bringing the "beloved Scottish actor back to the show" & I screamed YES! so loud & punched the air, stomped my feet & clapped like a child receiving a much wanted surprise I was so happy. I yelled Yes, yes, YES! Thank you Save Carson Beckett.com, you GO GIRLS! WOOHOO!! so then I raced back to put the next disk in & eagerly await my beloved Scottish Doctor's return (though knowing, by being spoiled by the site, that Carson would be a clone, but I didn't care much) By the time I had gotten to "kindred" I squeed very loud & clapped like a retard, when he finally returned, but then I had mixed feelings. I was so happy to have my Doctor back, but also sad knowing he wasn't the original & that the real one was still dead & his mother will never see his son again... But I soon got over that & was once again happy he was back! Though I was scared he would die again every time he was in danger, like "whispers" I think it is, it was all foggy & those things were out there & someone had already been attacked & Carson said he was going out there to see if he could assist Sheppard & I was like NO! no please don't go out there! please, just stay inside, you were told to stay inside, so STAY INSIDE! But he went outside & I was like no! go back, go back please! But thankfully nothing happened & I was so glad when that ep was finished, coz my Carson was safe! And I was so proud when I got to "Enemy At the Gate" & Carson flew Atlantis to Earth & deployed the drones to attack the hive ship & in all saved Atlantis & every soul on Earth!

*SQUEE!*
*cuddles my Carson tightly & kisses him*

*stumbles in and sees Beck surrounded by the two Carsons*

I will, Love, I will. *we walk over to the couch and he sits down, pulling me into his lap*


As to Sunday. SPOILERS for KINDRED I and KINDRED II

Spoiler:

When I found out he was coming back, it was all I could do not to skip ahead to his first return episode (Kindred I) and see him, make sure he was actually there and I wasn't getting mind-f'ed into thinking he was coming back. Then when I saw Kindred I, I was glad I was alone in my dorm room because I saw him and went "AAAAAHHHH CARSONNNNN!!!!" and like, paused it with him on the screen (laptop screen) and hugged my laptop.

Then Kindred II broke my heart, when he learns the original Carson is dead (*sniff*) and that Elizabeth is gone and also that he's a clone...the pure emotion in Kindred II from Pauly as Carson finds out his life basically went to hell in about 5 minutes' time. I was like. CAN I HUG THE SAD HOT-SCOT?! *scrabbles at the screen because I want to hug him* Though I did laugh, because the first time Rodney says "The real Carson Beckett wouldn't be sitting here feeling sorry for himself when he could be doing something to help." I thought he was being so SO insensitive. Then Carson later on, is like, "You told me that the real Carson Beckett wouldn't be sittin' about feelin' sorry for 'imself if he could be doin' somethin' to help." and Rodney goes "Yeah, but the real Carson also wouldn't take MY advice" ...at that point I laughed hysterically

[Aang]

*my Carson and I come back in after spending the afternoon with Poet over on Hottest Guy thread*

#2 *has his arm around me and leans to kiss me*

*kisses him in return*



*we finish our kiss as the other Carson comes over*

Hello Aang, hello Carson, nice to see ye here. *smile*

Oh hello, Carson...*giggles at standing between two Carsons for a moment* Been quiet over here all day, has it? Guess it's time I fixed that then, isn't it?

#2 Aye, but ye mean WE fix that, right, Love? *identical smile to the other Carson's*

Aye, I mean we. *cheeky smile up at her Carson*

[Dellruby]

*pokes her head in, look around*
Good Grief, it is still Sunday! Am I in a time loop or something?
*backs out again!*

[Aang]

Sorry, Sunday seems to be a sticky topic around here! It was a heart-breaker for most of Carson's ladies, and we tend to get stuck on a subject even if we are sitting here sniffling over it the entire time.

[Dellruby]

I did not come back and see that!
