I think I missed something.

Believe me I wanted that to be the case but after watching the ep and thinking about it there was no way to do that and have it make sense.

I* agree it wouldn't have made sense. I like the fact that Carson the clone is in need of help and it makes for a good storyline. I almost thought that they were going to send him back to Michael to save his life but the stasis thing was cool unfortunately they stole it from SG-1 Lost City Part 2 but you can't have everything original I guess.

Killing Carson and Thor...just a 2 of many mistakes.

Lets count booboo deaths:

1. Janet Fraiser
2. Jacob Carter
3. Thor and the Asgrad
4. Carson Beckett
5. Peter Gronin
6. Martouf
7. Sha'ri
8. All the good Goa'uld...leaving us with a bag of ba'als.

So basically, they never should have killed anyone off?

[PG15]

No no no! Don't you understand, that by this:

Those who should be killed off and never come back:

Larrin
Pete Shanahan
Lucius
Replicator Wier
Clones...except the asgard
Adria and the Bori.
Elis.
Another new ship to blow up or use for an escape route.

...It means that those who should die are only people that you dislike?! Gah! It's so obvious!

Oh...who's this "you", you ask? Um...let me get back to you on that...

Agreed. I didn't think about the connection to Lost City till you just pointed that out but I quite liked that surprise.

I seem to remember something about JM saying that the real Carson would be returning. No clones, no copies, no dreams or time travel, but Carson still turned out to be a clone.

He often has trouble making up his mind...

Gateword misquoted Joe M an honest mistake if you will. Joe had to make a big deal about it, and I tell ya it seems spoilers are truly hurting the quality of this show.

Mallozzi was asked for attention and he knew it and he got it It's amusing watching himself fall over contradictions, saying don't read spoilers yet drops them left and right. When it comes to spoilers he's as bad as Skiffy

[ShadowMaat]

Gods almighty, people, can we stop resting blame solely on Gateworld's shoulders? I never saw the cursed article and I STILL thought Joe said something to the effect of Carson not returning as a clone. Joe is tricky with words. Gateworld may have misquoted him, yes, but they aren't the only ones who misunderstood him and it's hardly the first time folks have been confused or "tricked" by things he's said.

Having trouble telling the difference between tiny, vague hints and page-long synopsis I see.

[AutumnDream]

I too had the general impression that the exact same Carson would be returning. I read JM's blog on occasion and I most likely picked it up there. I parse words fairly carefully so I'm not sure if I could have mistook his meaning. Maybe I did get the idea from the general populace at Gateworld after all. ~_~

Ah, sounds just like me

Regardless this debate is pointless.

And yet it continues, regardless of what you think.
