Sunday (317)

Weir and her date had as much chemistry as two paper bags.

I actually kind of thought that was the point. The guy was kind of cute and funny. But he didn't work for Weir. Sometimes a lack of chemistry can be important to characters, too.

I thought weird and awkward was the point, and with that there can still be chemistry. JMO

Well, you know. Different strokes and all that... I keep meaning to re-watch the episode, but I have a really hard time with it, what with the whole Carson dying and all. So I can't really remember much in the way of quotes...

Not true. Taken from the interview with Joe found at www.savecarson.com

Spoiler:

Q: Will it be “our” Carson Beckett or an alternate version?

A: Well, I don’t want to give too much away but I can say it won’t be an AU version of Carson - or a time-hopping Dr. Beckett either.

Spoiler:

Time-hopping and flashback aren't the same thing.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Yup, but in any case I'm just glad we will be hearing that lovely Scottish accent again.

Yep. I'll take what I can get. You know... I just got a Tom Tom and paid for a "Scottish" voice. It sounds like Sean frickin' Connery! They need to hire Paul to do a Tom Tom voice. I'd love to get my directions from Carson.

Very true but

Spoiler:

JM said the door would be open after his return for more. I guess I am hoping that means "back" back not flashbacks

But you are right, wait and see

So.. I've just watched Sunday (again). I question whether he is actually 'dead' as we know it. Whilst the episode was ending, the possibility that he may not actually be dead hit me.

He was talking to Rodney. Yes, I know many people would say that Rodney was talking to an imaginary Carson, but what if he wasn't? What if Carson is actually an alien entity, that took Human form to maybe learn about Humans, and interact with them.

At the end of the episode, Rodney says to Carson that he may seem him some other time (as the universe is a big place). For all we knew, the writers planned to bring him back anyway, just they've not told us yet.


The only scenario I can think of, is that Carson 'died' at least in Human form. His Human remains were sent back to Earth, and he 'appeared' to Rodney, to say Goodbye before he continued his travels. For all we know, he has previously told Rodney that he isn't actually Human, and Rodney isn't allowed to tell anyone.. Ok, so maybe I am just bumping ideas together here.

But, Stargate being Stargate, and seeing things that we have, would this not be remotely possible?

I'm sorry, but...

IT'S CARSON lol. No Car"l"son. Just "Car", followed by "son".

The thread title is a spoiler for the syndicated viewers.

I like the idea that Carson may have always been an Ancient that had assumed a Human identity: Carson Beckett. However, if he had ascended, there wouldn't have been a body left behind. In the past, we've seen that you have to alive in order to ascend. Orlin was still alive when he reascended. Daniel Jackson was also alive when he ascended. He flatlined, meaning his heart had stopped, but brain death had yet to occur. I guess Oma DeSalla wanted to wait until there was no turning back before ascending DJ.

Corrected, thank you.

I would be shocked if there was a Stargate Atlantis fan that didn't know of Carson's death. It is all over the internet.

Ahem, I never said anything about him being an Ancient now, did I? I said an alien entity.

What I am suggesting, is a new 'species' of alien, or 'entity'. Not an Ancient, not anyone who has Ascended. Just some other form of life.

My sister is a fan, yet she didn't know he was going to die until she sat down to watch "Sunday." Not all fans want to read spoilers. It's unwise to assume Carson's demise is common knowledge.

Ancients fall under the category as do the Jaffa. If you're not from Earth, you're an alien. Species, however, is a separate issue.

Why? What's the point? Really, either reveal he was an Ancient posing as a Human or just leave him Human. Anything else is too forced and convenient.

I think he meant, on the spiler, that since it has aired he doesn't need to do it... And he's right.

[PG15]

No, according to the rules of this forum, anything that's not yet in syndication in the US counts as a spoiler. Ergo, the title is a spoiler.

I've reported it to a mod; they should change it soon, and everything will be fine.
