How Can Fans Help?

28.Sep.06 by astrumporta | Category News | 143 Comments »

Update: February 2008: Our campaign began in October of 2006, after rumors began to surface that Carson Beckett was going to be killed off in Season 3 of Atlantis. Now, in the Winter of 2008, our efforts have helped secure Beckett’s reappearance for 2 epsiodes of Season 4 of Atlantis and 5 episodes in Season 5. Unfortunately, we have not been completely successful, as Dr. Beckett will not be a full-time regular in Season 5, while Dr. Jennifer Keller will. That said, for now our campaign continues on.

Here are some things we can do to achieve the goals set forth in our Mission:

The most important thing is to write and send “real” letters to The Powers That Be at our Addresses page. If you can’t send your own letters, you can use our Letter Writing page and we will send them for you! The letters don’t have to be long or complicated. Just express your feelings about the loss of Carson and how it will affect your support of the Stargate franchise.

Get the word out around the internet about the campaign! Here are some Banners to help you publicize our efforts.

Volunteer your time! The thing we need most are volunteers to print and send the letters that people from all over the world are submitting. To do this, please join our Yahoo! group and we’ll get you started.

Donate! If you don’t have time to help, any funds you might be able to contribute will be used 100% to pay for postage and other campaign-related expenses. Visit the Donate button above to contribute via PayPal or Contact us for other methods.

Thanks for your enthusiasm and support; we very much appreciate it, and we believe it will make a difference.

    I like Carson in the 1st season when he was a recurring character. I was happy when he became a regular character on the 2nd season. Now they want to kill him off? Those SOB’s. They just like to piss us fans off. I swear if it wasent for us fans, the people in charge would not have money SH*TTING out of their asses.

    Thank you,
    George Cheung

    I’m French and I’m also fan of Doctor Carson Beckett. I can say in
    the name of all other French, that there is enormously of French fan
    and that it would be horrible to make die such a character! If ever
    Beckett were to die, I find that normal to make an episode only on
    him. And I also think that to do it raise little time after
    would be a good idea. Also think that the fans will not appreciate
    the arrival of another character who played the role of doctor.
    Please made that for all the fans, which they are American, French or
    different. Thank you. Live Doctor Beckett! (Sorry for the mistake)

    Hello
    I want that Carson Bexkett stay where he are, in the regular Atlantis Episodes. Because Atlantis without Paul McGillion alias Carson Beckett is like Stargate SG 1 without a Stargate. Is like a sikebay without medicine, or is like life without breath.
    who can live without breath? Why should we Atlantis Fans live without Paul McGillion as Carson Beckett in Atlantis????
    Stargate SG1 is lost without Richard Dean Anderson. So Please don’t kill Atlantis, cause you kill Carson. And don’t let vanish him as well. It would be so week. So notice my words for the future, if you want write David Hewlett, Torri Higgins, Rachel Lutrell or Joe Flanigan out of Atlantis. If you want do that, so you can immediatly finished the whole Atlantis Series. you understand? When you kill the best (in that case Carson) of an Series, so you kill the whole thing.

    PLEASE LET CARSON BECKETT IN ATLANTIS TIL THE COMPLETT END OF ATLANTIS!!!!!

    I hope so much you listen to me and all other Fans from Atlantis.

    Thank you very much.
    Regards

    I wish I misread the article and everything I read on that topic on gateworld forum. It’s A SHAME ! Carson is one of the most human characters of the show, kind, generous and with a moral. Without him, I’m afraid Atlantis will lose a lot of its value. Not to mention the ethic questions Carson brought up.
    As a old French fan, I think I’ll stop wtaching after season 3.
    I’m more than a wee bit sad…


  7. Comment by Laura | 03.Dec.06 @ 2:36 pm

    I think that Carson Beckett is one of the best characters on the show. He is one of the most human, with a great sense of humor, kindness, and consideration for others. If he gets killed off of the show, I’m going to stop watching it, because that just shows to me that the Powers that Be are fishing for EVEN MORE ratings. That is pathetic and sad. Don’t kill Carson!!

    Sincerely,

    Laura

    I ilike Carson and would like him to stay on the show. His character is very likeable and is a good addition to the cast.


  9. Comment by Lindele | 15.Dec.06 @ 11:12 am

    Carson is one of my favourite characters of Atlantis! Besides the fact he`s good looking, he has a wonderful character and it would be hard to loose this in Atlantis! The fans were over the moon, when Paul McGillion was made to an official cast member and all of them and also me would be very sad when he should really go! Atlantis isn`t the same without him…


  10. Comment by fotty | 17.Dec.06 @ 12:31 pm

    I like Carson and i wish him to stay in Atlantis..He is really great character..


  11. Comment by Matt | 20.Dec.06 @ 3:30 am

    What do the producers of this show think they are doing, in fact the producers of both shows…SG1 and Atlantis, first they replace O’Neil and then they cancel SG1, and now they are setting about wrecking Atlantis, SG1 and Atlantis are two of THE BEST SCI-FI SHOWS on TV at the moment, I have watched EVERY episode of both shows, and have re-watched them several times, so to the producers….please dont kill Dr Carson Beckett, it will only lessen the quality of the show that we all enjoy.

    Thanks


  12. Comment by Chris | 24.Dec.06 @ 9:07 pm

    Dr. Beckett is one of the best characters on Atlantis what the hell are the producers thinking? I have to agree it seems they’re taking a wrecking ball to the franchise. I know things need to change in a series to keep it interesting, but this is to soon cut Beckett. It makes no sense at all. The producers really need to explain themselves on this horrific decision.
    PLEASE KEEP PAUL McGILLION IN ATLANTIS!
    Thanks


  13. Comment by Karen | 03.Jan.07 @ 3:10 pm

    As a Scot, I’m sorry to hear that TPTB have decided to remove Dr Beckett from Atlantis. It is part of the Show’s attraction for me that the Atlantis community is made of different nationalities and not just totally made up of Americans. It’s been really nice to hear my national accent being spoken on the show.

    Beside all that this to me is just indicative of TPTB whole attitude to the Stargate fanchise. They axe SG1 and now remove one of the main and best characters from Atlantis.

    Sad, so very sad.


  14. Comment by a ShepBeck Girl | 05.Jan.07 @ 10:54 pm

    NO! Carson is a great part of the show! Why do TPTB like to kill off the best parts of a show? I only hope that this organization is as successful as SaveDanielJackson was. I will inform the ShepBeck community and get them to help.


  15. Comment by ali | 18.Jan.07 @ 3:53 pm

    bring back carson!!

    hes liek the glue that holds everyone in atlantis together..well i think bonds them together


  16. Comment by Argent | 19.Jan.07 @ 2:23 am

    I find myself genuinely saddened that Carson’s been written out and to be honest, my will to continue watching may whither if this remains true. Why? One thing that I’ve noticed about Stargate Atlantis is that each of the characters had their own personal darkness and levels of intolerance, even outright xenophobia in some cases but the character of Carson Beckett had none of that. He was a portrayal of the best side of people and a metaphor of what a healer is supposed to mean and what it should portend. He’s the primary reason I became attached to the show because through thick and thin, he did what needed to be done, he was loyal and had not a bad word to say.

    If Carson’s out of the cast then the show simply won’t be the same, it’s as simple as that. They’ve removed the only character who wasn’t burdened in some way or another and things can only get a lot more dark from here on in, as we’ve already seen with McKay’s character.

    Damn shame, it was a good show too.


  17. Comment by Andres | 20.Jan.07 @ 1:22 am

    Not so much fan of Carson character, but I TOTALLY AGREE with all previous comments. Carson MAKE Stargate Atlantis a human story, not just another typical SCI-FI series. Those douche bags “cough” .. producers ..”cough” have gone completely lost it.
    At least, make him “disappear” like lt. Ford, rather than boldly killed him. So we can still expect to see him sometimes.


  18. Comment by Cala | 21.Jan.07 @ 8:47 pm

    I love cardon so much! He is so cute and handsome! Atlantis wont be the same!!!! He has to come back :(


  19. Comment by Raven | 23.Jan.07 @ 7:55 pm

    I enjoyed watching Carson Beckett on the show since it first aired and I just loved listening to his accent. Now, I find out that he is killed off and I watched that episode online and I just cried my eyes out. How could they do this? I know me and everyone else are ALL upset about this. We need to get Carson back on the show. It’s not going to be the same without him. He had a GREAT sense of humor and it made the show funny…but now it’s not going to be as funny cause Jewel Staite is taking over. She wasn’t funny in Firefly and I doubt she is going to be funny in SGA! Come on!!! Please, let him back in the show.


  20. Comment by A Pissed Fan | 30.Jan.07 @ 2:49 am

    Basically they booted Carson because they are stupid mean bastards. While they may be TPTB, they need to realize that fans will stop watching the show if it turns into a love boat full of pretty but useless eye candy.


  21. Comment by Techrat | 01.Feb.07 @ 6:50 am

    Cutting out Carson is a BIG mistake! He gave the show a Human factor… with some laughs here and there. :o )

    The way it’s going right now, is that season 4 of SG-A will be like SG-1 at season 10… at it’s end. :(


  22. Comment by Lia | 04.Feb.07 @ 11:20 am

    I can´t believe they just did that! First Janet Frasier and now Carson! I adored him, and I am really, really disappointed that they killed him off. He was one of my favourite characters on TV.

  23. Comment by Vasilis | 12.Feb.07 @ 11:10 am

    I really liked that fella. It was I believe one of the most good and nice characters of that show. I almost cry really, and seeing a black man 1.80m almost crying would be at least hilarious.. I really believe should be back, but he is dead…… Maybe a new found ancient lab could somehow do the job, c’mon bring the nice fella back in.


  24. Comment by Jircalius | 12.Feb.07 @ 1:20 pm

    I cannot believe they’ve done it! It ruins the better part of SG Atlantis. OMG they keep there Elizabeth “Weird” the worst actor I’ve ever seen. And they take out one of 2 best charcters along with McKay. Im just totally shocked. What’s gonna happen tomorrow, are there gonna be pigs raining from the sky??


  25. Comment by Noah Kai | 15.Feb.07 @ 8:13 pm

    seriously I could only watch the show a few times and I like Carson, he’s a funny man and his accent is hilarious!

    It’s not fair for him to be writen out where will all the comedy relif come from?


  26. Comment by Darren | 18.Feb.07 @ 6:52 pm

    Well, Ive just watched ‘sunday’ and was shocked that carson was killed off. I totally agree with all the above,
    Id like to add that of all the chars in sga, why get rid of the lovely doc? I mean did Paul McGillion wish to leave the show? or was it a forced departure? either way it was a bad move for the show.
    I guess Il still continue to watch atlantis, but I doubt it will be the same. (if anyone should go, shudve been weir)


  27. Comment by Rita | 19.Feb.07 @ 6:02 pm

    I can’t believe they killed him off! this makes absolutely no sense. Why was his contract not renewed, what happened?

    I am extremely disappointed and may stop watching the show!


  28. Comment by stephen | 19.Feb.07 @ 11:28 pm

    the only show i’ve watched that i turn off my phone.i can’t believe the producers killed him off.i never got into sg-1,but atlantis is unbelievable.i honestly my stop watching it.Why don’t they just kill off the rest of the cast and be done with it.iam just..????


  29. Comment by lee | 22.Feb.07 @ 3:36 am

    doc fraiser, johnas, goerge hammond, johnas, ford and now carson, :O, y. who next! mayb this is the only way they can keep it interesting as they might like to call it (though i dont). bring him bak……………. aghhhhhhhhhhhh


  30. Comment by Leisha | 24.Feb.07 @ 4:54 pm

    I just saw it. I cried. I didnt know he was going to die.. I had read rumours saying that he was leaving and that he would return as a reccuring character in season 4, and even that had upset me. And then i saw the episode and he died. It is UNACCEPTABLE! He is my favourite Atlantis character.. Or was.. Im in shock, i love the Stargate franchise and i love the characters, to see them die is painful for the fans. Of all the people That could have been killed off it had to be Carson..Unbelievable

    the world hates brad wright & robert c. cooper also the guy who made the script & storyboard


  32. Comment by marie-eve | 26.Feb.07 @ 7:49 pm

    last week in canada was aired the dreaded episode “sunday”. i was shoc to say the least, how there they kill of dr beckett. but i gave the producers a chance, maybe that was not really him in that casket, maybe he’ll recover, maybe the fans were left under the wrong impression that he’s death was permanent, one may never know and i was wrong to let my hope get too high. it was a major dissapointment, no matter how well done the episode was.


  33. Comment by Guilherme | 26.Feb.07 @ 10:44 pm

    Oh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!I didnt knew about that
    i wasnt able to keep seeing SGA…I love him his accent is soo cute and he makes SGA different from the other SG…he is an unique character i like the fights he has with Mckay and his humour!!Its Unbearable he leaving the show!!!!!!Get your forks!!!!Lets claim back the old good doc!!!


  34. Comment by hufnor | 27.Feb.07 @ 5:07 am

    The episode Sunday must be about the worst SGA episode I have seen. There is absolutely no point in the whole story apart from killing one of the best characters in the whole SG thing. I understand that the writers feel compelled to kill some major character to avoid possible grumbling at the immortality of the whole team face to face with all the dangers of the Paegasus galaxy, but at least they could have done it in a way that his death would make sense, make a difference. Unfortunately they just decided to trade a unique and tremendously popular character for one crappy episode that doesn’t contribute to the whole Atlantis story even slightly and a Doctor James Watson’s life – which is of about the same importance to the series as a life of a bug squished on a puddle jumper’s windshield.
    Good work guys! What a way to please the fans! A word of advice:
    THIS IS STARGATE! NOT THE FRICKIN DALLAS! PAMELA IS NOT ABOUT TO WAKE UP! THINK WHO AND WHY YOU ARE KILLING NEXT TIME!!!


  35. Comment by Peter | 03.Mar.07 @ 8:14 am

    Killing off Carson? SOBs… Well… maybe they’ll pull a Daniel Jackson and come back to life…?

    At least its a shred of hope…


  36. Comment by Gerda | 05.Mar.07 @ 5:40 am

    What a stupid thing to do. t Dr. Carson Beckett cant be missed. So let him come back!!

    Its a character thats needs to be in the serie ,so dont be stupid and bring him back!
    I like the show but dont change it thats not good, and people wont watch anymore either.
    There already to many changes going on for season 4.
    So listnen please!!!!


  37. Comment by Lily | 09.Mar.07 @ 4:28 pm

    I still can’t believe he is dead. This is unfair to us Fans. Since they dont seem to be able to kill a main character in sg-1 or in sg-a they go kill doctors. Janet and Carson are the moral of both shows. Carson was kind, funny,generous and had a moral. He was the human side of the expedition and frankly i dont feel like watching the futur season. It like receiving a slap in the face. The second a tv show gets too much rating, they try to smack it down with huge drama.

    Love to Carson (Paul). I hope we will be heard and a miracle will happen to see Carson back…who knows =)

    (sorry if some of my typing is bad, english is not my first language )


  38. Comment by Peter | 12.Mar.07 @ 3:12 am

    Dr. Carson Beckett can not be killed permanently. He is a really good asset of the Atlantis team.

    I was really disappointed with the OTHER members of the team in the episode “The Ark”. If the whole thing would have happened with SG-1 Danial (along with the others) would have done anything to save the people in the pod. They wouldn’t let one of them fly an impacting asteroid. Carter would came up with the idae of expanding the puddle jumpers shield in the right few seconds to protect the falling ship. The Atlantis team wasn’t prepared for this. Things would be different if Carson were there. He does what has to be done without a split second of being concerned about himself. Just like Daniel when he was effected by a great amount of radiation while stopping a naquadriah bomb to explode and kill everybody. Carson did the same by staying with his patient and saving him and the other brave doctor by carrying away the explosive tumor.

    It would be acceptable if the Atlantis team members later (when the threat is gone) realise that there is a way to save him by travelling back in time to alter a few things.

    It would also be a great episode when the team struggles to prevent his death while staying undetected and to make only the necesarry effects to the time-line.

    Sorry for the long post, I had tell all this (If official writers do read this I have some ideas all the time for both shows).


  39. Comment by Chayne H | 23.Mar.07 @ 12:03 pm

    When I saw the first episode of Atlantis, there was one character I fell in love with in the first instant of him opening his mouth – Paul McGillion’s Carson Beckett.
    As Daniel Jackson is to SG1, so Carson Beckett is to Atlantis. Daniel has been the heart of Stargate SG1 for the entire series…even when Micheal Shanks left for a year, Daniel was still at the heart. It was his selflessness, his passion, his will to find every side of the story, that lived throughout the show.
    Fortunately, for the fans and for the show, Daniel returned and the series came back to life (not that I didn’t like Jonas Quinn – I did – but it was never going to be the same)
    But what of Carson? He is the token Brit, for starters, and more charmingly a Scotsman. He is sweet, caring…he has a strong moral sense and when the chips are down, yeah he worries, but he pulls through. He has a watchability that usually comes from the script and plot but McGillion is the deal all by himself. He has an intensity that is almost mesmerising and I, for one, can’t help but smile every time Carson comes on screen.
    When I first heard of this plot by the PTB, I was horrified. I’m fond of Sheppard because he is a strong male lead. I’m fond of McKay because he’s an annoying, amusing, loveable git. But I’m fond of Carson because he is the most real – I can’t imagine knowing any of the others. But I can imagine knowing some like Carson Beckett.
    That, if anything, should be considered. That, the benefit of having someone in your show that anyone can look at and imagine knowing, is priceless. And Paul McGillion as Carson Beckett is exactly that.
    I enjoy Atlantis…I do…but I will probably let it lie from now on. Without a character I love, without a character with whom I can identify…I loose interest.
    Congratulations, PTB. Here’s to the beginning of the end.


  40. Comment by Wraith2 | 23.Mar.07 @ 4:44 pm

    Hey!
    To be truthful I actully didn’t see the epode where Carson was killed, but I can sure tell you that I am mad as a raging bull to know that he was killed off:(. Me and my mother watch this show all the time. I think Carson is a total HOTTIE with that scotish accsent and messy hair. But there is a set back. For all you people who have watched Stargate SG1. do remember how they used to kill off daneil than brought him back to life by making him assend then another type of alien would find him nude right in the middle of a field or someplace like that. Maybe one of these days Rodney McKay will find a time machien and go back in time to go on the fishing trip that he said he would go on with Carson. Yes it will be very differnet with ouit the Hot Scotish guy. So yes I do Hope he comes back as a ghost or Rodney finds a time machene. So Rest in Peice and let us all think he has gone to a better place without any wraith.


  41. Comment by aloyalstargatefan | 09.Apr.07 @ 4:20 pm

    hi
    i was a great fan of stargate Atlantis because Carson was it made it more apealing to me i am from scotland and loved to see how he interacted with the other characters. it had something different to sg-1. now its just like sg-1 and its not that good. shure their in a different galaxy but its just not the same without him.
    although me and my freind have a theory that they may be doing the same thing they did with shanks to bring him back a season later. to make him decend or something. if he did acend. though it is just a theory. i would still watch it as i am a big stargate fan. but you cant just kill off our SCOTISH HERO he was the only normal one there.
    i would like to say this:
    THE SCOTSMAN COOD RULE THE WORLD IF HE WANTED TA. GO BECKET HOPE ONE DAY TO SEE YA BACK AGAIN. NAE THE SAME WIHOUT YA.


  42. Comment by angelic_vampire | 13.Apr.07 @ 9:07 pm

    My god, I can’t believe this. I’m getting a little sick of them killing off good characters, let alone my favourites.
    First Ska’ara and Janet in SG1, then Ford and now Beckett. There is a reason I’m starting to loose my intrest in “new” Stargate series’, which is sad since I’ve been a fan from the movie onwards.

    I’d rather they kill off an annoying egomaniac like Rodney that someone like Carson who actually cares about the team.


  43. Comment by Carmen Alioto | 14.Apr.07 @ 5:59 pm

    Once this episode, “sunday”, is it? Airs, I no longer plan to watch the show. From what I’ve seen Atlantis is just startign out and this is not the way to gain better reviews. I’ve watched Stargate (original) for 5 years and Atlantis since it aired; really, WTF do you plan to do, Pull another DJ? LAME! Carson is my favorite character– too painful to watch. i think you’re Writing staff needs a vacation– you’ve obviously pushed these dudes over the edge.


  44. Comment by Christian | 19.Apr.07 @ 1:45 am

    We just NEED HIM BACK!
    And yes in the story you can think of something how he will be able to come back :P
    People die and come back to life all the time.


  45. Comment by Deborah | 05.May.07 @ 11:03 am

    Dear power(s) that be: Unless Mr. Mcgillion has expressed a wish to leave the show, I suggest you do what it takes to keep him on Atlantis for as long as the show has something to offer! He has built himself a niche in the shows dynamics. Most of us continue to watch this show, mostly because Carson has become, not just a favorite character, but one who puts the heart back into television shows in this day and age, of cheating housewives, doctors, smutty language, REALITY Shows, etc. Please keep the rare find on Atlantis… Thankyou, and Thankyou to Mr. Mcgillion if he agrees to stay….Deborah


  46. Comment by Sanjica | 09.May.07 @ 2:04 pm

    Carson is the most likable character on the show, and without him Atlantis just wont be the same!!! He can make you smile everytime he says something, cause of that cute accent of his, and also even though I’m 18, and way young I find Carson so so so hot. In the world of wars, he’s the only person who cares… we need him back!!!


  47. Comment by Juan | 22.May.07 @ 1:02 am

    Hi!
    Please save Dr Beckett!!
    Can´t you make him ascend and come back like the other scientist who did the same in Stargate SG1?? Greetings from Spain.


  48. Comment by Anubis 101 | 28.May.07 @ 7:07 am

    he is also one of my favorite characters because he a that certain charm that makes you believe things are going to be okay. he also is someone who doen’t give up on you.


  49. Comment by ben | 01.Jun.07 @ 9:17 pm

    bring him back he’s one of the main characters and it’s bad luck to write out one of the main characters. i also happen to like him and his scottish humour not to mention i like how he livens things up.


  50. Comment by Eiska Redhawk | 02.Jun.07 @ 4:15 am

    PLease, Bring him back..he is the warmth and compassion of the show…


  51. Comment by Noel | 02.Jun.07 @ 9:19 am

    Change is difficult. I liked the character myself and it pissed off my wife that Dr. Beckett was killed off. Things change wether we like it or not, and either we move on to something new or we get left behind so no point in sulking or whinning.


  52. Comment by General O'Neill | 02.Jun.07 @ 1:48 pm

    You people are kidding, right? He actually was one of the characters that annoyed me. He wasn’t as boring as Ford, but I don’t feel that the show loses anythng with him gone. And frankly, I hope they ship Dr. Lam (Lexa Doig) through the gate to replace him! Could use one more hottie to look at alongside Weir and Tayla! :-)


  53. Comment by SilverEcho | 02.Jun.07 @ 6:15 pm

    I don’t know that me writing to appeal this decision will amount to any action actually being taken, however, Paul McGillion’s character did add more dimension to the show. His loss will be felt by all the fans much like the death of a trusted friend would be. If there is any hope that we can avoid loosing him, I would like to see him back running sickbay

    Carson was the balance to the arrogant McKay. I don’t believe killing off characters increases ratings or helps SciFi ratings. If the scifi channel really wanted to help it’s ratings, it should create a new channel named “Horror” and take all the “B” horror movies it now shows as Scifi and move them. Then the pure Science fiction lovers would come back.


  55. Comment by Mark | 04.Jun.07 @ 7:23 am

    Damn. I’ve watched SG-1 for 10 years and now Atlantis for 2+. To kill off a character is not taken lightly. Understandable if the actor is asking to move on, but not in this case. In the case of SG-1 I always considered Fraser an anscillary character. Beckett was not anscillary, he was a main character. While Sheppard can be silly, Rodney alone cannot be the source of comic relief. Alot of the appeal for the show to me is the lighter side that balances the tense moments. They just killed much of the ligher side.


  56. Comment by Brandon | 05.Jun.07 @ 9:15 am

    TPTB have really lost their damn minds, It has been a while since I watched sci-fi shows (ie Star Trek), but I have really enjoyed watching SG-1 and SGA on sci-fi and in syndication. When I saw the first and second seasons of sga in syndication, Paul McGillion was EXCELLENT in his role, adding that sga has brought more nationalities to the stargate series and addeded a more humane balence to the show. Its a damn shame MGM, the producers SCI-FI, are disrespecting two great shows with sg-1 being canceled ford from sga MIA,and now beckett dead. a sad day for stargate fans. indeed a damned tragedy for sci-fi fans!

    After watching “”Sunday” and seeing the demise of Beckett, I can only say this to the show’s producers…… “WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU GUY’S SMOKING!!!” The chemistry he brings will definatly be missed. Just for the fact that he can put Rodney in his place alone makes killing him off a STUPID move!! If you producers wanted hate mail you did the right thing! If you want to keep us fans loyal you need to undo it!!!

    Carson Beckett added so much dimension to Stargate, and he was an older presence among so many young people. That always adds depth. Although every series needs some drama, given that the format is science fiction I am sure they could drum up some fantastical machine to resurrect him. Even a great show like Jericho without the ex Mayor Johnston Green (Gerald McRaney) presence on the show I wonder at it’s success (if they break down and uncancel it). Beckett was a wonderful addition. Time will tell.

    Beckett added so much humor and warmth to Atlantis, please bring him back!


  61. Comment by Mac | 30.Jun.07 @ 3:36 am

    I am disappointed that the producers did not learn from the error of killing off Daniel Jackson in the original SG1. Carson Beckett is a crucial character to the overall balances in Atlantis, and Paul McGillion is a wonderful actor to boot.

    I can only hope the producers will come to their senses and return Beckett to his rightful position. “Descending” seems to be all the fashion now afterall!


  62. Comment by JPT | 06.Jul.07 @ 3:55 am

    you producers suck. why you would take off a fine actor to bring in a pretty face is beyond me. i like jewel staite, but why make it so that she has to replace him? he was the most believable character on the show. the other ones are all interesting, but all chosen for looks over believability. you guys shot yourselves in the foot.


  63. Comment by Casandra | 08.Jul.07 @ 6:08 pm

    Carson is, in my opinion, the best doctor in the stargate universe since janet was killed. His character should be kept and let grow until it is actually his time to go, not just when someone feels like adding a new person to the show and can’t figure out where to put them so they have to kill off a wonderful person like beckett.


  64. Comment by chris | 08.Jul.07 @ 6:10 pm

    i have only recently started watching Stargate Atlantis. (thanks to she above) While I may not be overtly familiar with all of them, I have chosen Beckett and Rodney as two of my proverbial patron gods. Though not expereinced as the rest of you, i just cant imagine the series without the Scottish Medical Superman. It would be like…like…removing Ratchet from transformers. Its a sin.


  65. Comment by Julia Grasso | 13.Jul.07 @ 6:09 pm

    I just LOVE Carson’s role!!! They can’t leave him out of Atlantis…. it just wouldn’t be the same without him… it’s like… like… like leaving sg-1 without Daniel Jackson!!!! Carson MUST BE IN ATLANTIS!!!!!!!!!!


  66. Comment by Elizabeth Agiantritis | 25.Jul.07 @ 8:38 am

    Carson Beckett was one of the best characters in the Stargate Atlantis series and it surely wasn’t necessary to have him killed off.


  67. Comment by Eric | 29.Jul.07 @ 5:22 am

    Hi form canada!
    Ok i have been watching the SG1 & SGA shows (& i got all of SG1+Season 1&2 of atlantis) im a verry big fan & i believe that Carson’s personage adds way more than a lot of caracters. i dont know much about the acting talents of the actors on this show. i do know that mckay & carson are antopodes that compleates each other. i also know (from my personal experiance) that the actor that plays his role may want to see what is eslsewhere if so then let it be. if not YOUR KILLING ONE OF THE MAIN CARACTER at least make him assend or somthing when they killed janet (the caracter) she was only a secondary caracter so just dieing was enough but carson needs a better burial than that.
    i havent seen “sunday” but i hope its worthwile.

    as for the end of SG1 no comments (awful,no trill & specialy lacking imagination)

    if he just wanted to see whats elswhere then ok if not i dont see what is worth killing the personage of carson for.


  68. Comment by TJuk | 29.Jul.07 @ 10:38 am

    Eric, Paul McGillion (Carson Beckett) DID NOT want to leave the show. As stated here and many other interviews etc, it was a complete surprise and shock to the actor, and he was disappointed that they choose to kill of his character.


  69. Comment by sugarfoot | 31.Jul.07 @ 1:49 am

    I hope whoever decided to kill Carson off will fear losing their job. Of all the crazy things to do. A character with so many fans and so much potential to grow, for Paul to be let go..for what? Shock? Room for another character to come in?
    I have loved every episode of Stargate, and tuned in every week mostly for Carson.
    Please do us fans and yourselves a favor..BRING CARSON BACK!..so I can look forward to Fridays again.

  75. Comment by sgjoli | 15.Sep.07 @ 6:57 am

    I do love Carson – he´s maybe sensible (letters from pegasus – when they are recording the messagess to people from Earth), but in spit of this is he a hero for me – he is the gratest doctor I have ever seen – he´s so desposed to help in each situation and to everyone – that´s unbelievable…..Carson is great person – great character played by the most interessant and the one of the greatest actor I have ever known…….

    P. S. and I can´t forget…..in addition to his great qualities is Carson also very very handsome!!!!!!!!


  76. Comment by 5amantha | 20.Sep.07 @ 12:49 pm

    When I watched that episode, I CRIED! To date (I am a rabid watcher of all Stargate) I had never cried for any episode and that includes ALL the seasons of Stargate SG1… I was so devistated when it happened!


  77. Comment by colojack | 22.Sep.07 @ 10:47 pm

    I like the Dr. Carson Beckett. I espere sincerement that he(it) will return. It girder and that will stay my character preferred by stargate atlantis.

    Ich liebe Carson, es war die erste Folge Stargate in der ich geheult habe, wie kann man denn den Menschen killen aus sder Serie, absolut hirnrissig. Ich hoffe, er kommt zurück…

    Sowas trauriges hab ich noch nie gesehen. Der absolut netteste und beste Charakter der Serie…scheisse, dass er tot ist. Carson wir liueben dich.

  84. Comment by Laura Guzmán | 17.Oct.07 @ 10:40 pm

    I just want to say how much I missed Carson, he was and still is one of my favorites, so charming, so loveble. I still can´t watch SGA without expecting to see him walking arround, making McKay go crazy, or freak aout evey time things get a litle dificult, he was so funny, en without even triyng, PLEASE, BRING HIM BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s not the same without him.


  85. Comment by Megan Nelson | 23.Oct.07 @ 4:10 pm

    I couldn’t believe it when they killed Beckett off… In fact, to this day, I still haven’t watched ‘Sunday’. Beckett, like Sheppard and McKay, added such incredible wit to the show.
    And I mean, why add him as a regular cast member in the second season only to get rid of him in the third? It was bloody idiotic, was what it was. I say the Stargate Atlantis creators pull a Daniel Jackson, and bring Beckett back!


  86. Comment by frederic | 24.Oct.07 @ 12:18 pm

    bring back carson as a main character in season 5, our the show will go down like SG1, he’s the most human wee little man in the series, eberybody relates to him and he’s f*cking FUNNY!!!!!


  87. Comment by Pauline | 25.Oct.07 @ 7:23 pm

    I’m from Australia and I just watched the ‘Sunday’ episode on DVD.
    I am so pissed Carson was my favourite character.
    I think they could most definately bring him back. McKay can do some alternate reality thingy and they could keep the Carson from that reality. They would have to make sure that the personalities were the same though – some of the characters in alternate realities have been quite annoying.
    Also, Carson is the best character to chair the drones – because it’s light-hearted!

    BRING BACK CARSON!!!!


  88. Comment by Lisa Anderson | 27.Oct.07 @ 3:34 pm

  91. Comment by Tony | 31.Oct.07 @ 4:39 pm

    Carson was my single favourite character on the show.

    Unless I know that he will be making a full return in Season 5. I’m going to have to stop watching the show, and cry myself to sleep everynight.

    He felt like a brother to me. And without him…the option of suicide seems appealing.


  92. Comment by Nat | 01.Nov.07 @ 3:01 pm

    I think Cason was just adorable, not to mention rather sexy. He gave the show a rather more human side. Quite frankly he would be the last character I would wipe out. They will simply never be able to replace him. Carson was one of a kind. Please someone talk them in to returning him. Hell, its science fiction, surely they can do something for a character of that calibre.


  93. Comment by Hans Jacobs | 04.Nov.07 @ 12:19 pm

  94. Comment by Tami Newman | 07.Nov.07 @ 1:16 pm

    My daughter and I watch this show for Carson Beckett and 2 other characters. We love his accent and his character and all. We would hate to see him off of the show and would like the producers to bring him back until the end of the Stargate Atlantis series. If he is killed off now we probably will not watch as frequently as we do now. My daughter has purchased all 3 seasons on DVD because of this charater. Think of the fans.

  96. Comment by Christine | 11.Nov.07 @ 3:12 pm

    I watch Stargate Atlantis from DVD’s as they come out, and so I have just watched the “Sunday” episode and found one of my very favorite characters killed off. It was so sad for me to see such an admirable character written off I actually teared up.

    The Beckett character was a great addition to the Atlantis team. Carson added a dimension of humility, compassion and charm that no other character could replace. Carson is one of the most likeable characters, a great balanace of traits that draws fans to love him…as can be seen by this site!

    Paul does a fabulous job portraying Carson. The Scottish accent is very well done, I was surprised when I found out Paul wasn’t indeed a Scot. No other actor could play this role as well as Paul has done.

    I’m encouraged to see that since the original airing of the episode it appears he might return. Please bring him back to stay, as has been done before in Stargate (with the Daniel character) the fans will love the “Powers that Be” if they listen to them and bring back Carson.


  97. Comment by Tom | 20.Nov.07 @ 1:44 pm

    PLEASE BRING BECKETT BACK

    Altantis is Not the Same without a Brit.

    Paul McGillion Did a Very Good Scottish Accent (Even Some Scots Must Find It Hard to Tell the Difference)

    As For How Alternate Realities, Cloning or Newly-Found Ancient Machines Could Be Used

    BRING HIM BACK DAMMIT!!!

  100. Comment by Ian McDonnell | 30.Nov.07 @ 1:53 pm

    OMG. I am a 13-year old male and I love this show! Carson (Paul McGillion) had so much potential! How the HELL do the writers dare to write him off?! Carson was my freaking favorite character, and it brought me to tears when he died. One word: WHY? I am wondering if the producers are trying to ruin their own show. It’s like pressing the “Big Red Button” that activates the selfdestruct sequence. Why are you doing this? What kind of expectations did the writers expect? Did they think we were gonna go, “Oh yay! They killed the charismatic, funny, heartfelt, sencir, lovable, loyal and scottish cool character!” I can’t believe it… I really can’t…

    Mornin at all….
    I’m from Germany and here the 3rd season is still on tv. But I had the possibility to watch several episodes of the fourth season of Stargate: Atlantis and with horror I had to recognize that there was a woman doing Carson Becckett’s job. I want to have Carson back into service at the Atlantis base.
    So what the hell did the producers and scriptwriters think when the took him off the screen?? I really cant understand it….
    Lets what happens and dont give up hope…

    Carson is an awsome character, very emotional et very funny. Stargate atlantis wouldn’t be the same without Carson, that’s a sure thing !! Carson is the type of character that make stargate unlike any other science fiction teleseries or movies.


  108. Comment by Benjamin Ghaner | 20.Jan.08 @ 9:33 pm

    Writers of Atlantis,

    What have you done?!?! Dr. Beckett was one of thee most amazing, incredible, and unique characters in the Atlantis series. Paul McGillion has done a TERRIFIC JOB!! I am a big fan of the medical field and I looked up to him, as head of medicine in Atlantis, VERY much! Please bring him back. Anything!!

  109. Comment by Kelly | 24.Jan.08 @ 7:57 pm

    The whole Stargate Atlantis Cast is amazing. Every actor and actress gives a great performance in each and every episode. But for me Carson brought a down to earth feel that let you know that when things got hard there was always at least ONE Person you could count on to make it all better. And that was Doctor Carson Beckett. I mean.. he talks to Rodney and you’re like “Gosh.. Carson’s the brother Rodney never had..” He bandages Teyla up and you’re like “He’s like her big brother..” He’s so sweet and so funny and kind.. Paul McGillion portrays (Truely) The best character. That’s NOT To take away from the OTHER Actors on the show. They’re AMAZING as I have already said. But Paul I think, Intensifies the bonds between ALL of the characters. His stay on the show has made me laugh, smile and cry more than once. I hate that the last time he made me cry had to be because he was killed. I don’t mean to sound crule about the writing of “Sunday” It really is a Great episode with many funny parts.. But KILLING Carson? I was like “Impossible..” He was one of those characters you just say out loud anytimr there’s a sign of trouble

    “He’ll be okay.. They couldn’t KILL Him.. It’ed never happen..”

    Then it did.. I just keep thinking.. “Who next? Rodney? Teyla?”

    As Paul once said “It IS Sci-Fi so you never know”

    and David Hewlett has also mentioned “NObody really ever dies in Sci-Fi..”

    I hope the Writers find a way to bring him back.. Why can’t it have been a bad dream? A Nanite trick? Why can’t Rodney and his Sister make a Time machine? There are so many ways to bring him back… All it takes is a little imagination and some effort.. I’m not giving up.

    BRING CARSON BACK! BRING CARSON BACK!!!

    WE LOVE CARSON! PLEASE BRING HIM BACK!!

    I think now it is more important then ever to have Carson back. With Sam going to be gone in season five and Dr. Weir gone forever Altantis is sorely lacking in some heart and soul. Sure Teyla is still there but her toughness makes the heart shine through less for her. We need Carson to be the soul of Atlantis.

    I’m from Uzbekistan. of course not many people know where it is. But it does not matter at all. The only one thing is very important that Carson Beckett was killed of! Even in our distant land we love SG Atlantis! And my favorite character is Dr. Beckett. I was so sad when saw the “Sunday”… He is so wonderful! Whether it necessary to kill him? He was the most kind and positive character! I miss him! It was so pleasantly to see him every episode.
    Please, BRING HIM BACK!!! I was crying when he dead.It’s a great loss for the SGA !!!
    Hope you will listen to a lot of fans from our distant land!!!

    Hi,
    Carson Becket is so cool
    we want him back !

    I never accepted really his death , and now that he is back for an episode all they have to do is find a way to get him out of stasis !!!
    Yeahh we want Paul s caracter to be back for a FULL 5th SEASON !!!!!!!!!!

    You can get rid of Amandas Carcter ( she doesnt belong into this world of Atlantis anyway !!!!!, she had her 10 years on Sg1) Thata more then enough !!.Make space for someone else -and bring back Paul for good !!!!!!
    the writers did bring back Shanks carcater in sg1 , -so give us our Dr. Carson Becket back !!!!
    I like his way of acting and talking with this scottish accent so much !!!!
    Get rid of Sam and bring back Carson !!!!!!!!!!!!!
    yeah that be cool !

    i like very very much Carson Beckett, my favourite character with rodney. Beckett is the heart of atlantis. he’s our scottish who must appear in all episodes of season 5; He’s THE ONLY DOCTOR OF ATLANTIS. I want to see him (he ‘s so cute) and hear his accent, his humour with rodney mc kay.
    Sunday became a sad day.
    bring him back please for the full 5th season and the next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


  123. Comment by Mom & Daughter | 06.Apr.08 @ 6:01 pm

    Carson Beckett! Dead! Noooooooooo.

    How will we go on. Seriously, why would you kill off one of the most personable, heart warming, lovable characters since Scotty on star trek? Carson and Rodney were like Abbott and Costello, Martin and Lewis, you can’t have one without the other.
    Well you can but it isn’t nearly as good.
    And neither now will be our Sunday nights.
    PLEASE BRING BACK CARSON BECKETT!

    So I just watched the episode on DVD and I really hate it. Why does he have to die?? I mean couldn’t he just go back to earth or something? And I also don’t understand why they take Dr. Keller for that role. I can’t remember seeing her on one of the former episodes, so why don’t they take someone who is in Atlantis since……ever? Carson Beckett is my favorite character in the series! He is always like:” Oh, no! Why me?” I will miss him!


  126. Comment by Millie | 19.May.08 @ 10:23 pm

    I cried when they killed him off. Mckay’s character just isn’t the same without Carson. The show seems less friendly and so serious without him. He was pure sunshine in any of his scenes. Stargate Atlantis sucks without him and while I like Jewel (as a fan of firefly) she just isn’t and can never be as good as Carson. SAVE DR CARSON BECKETT!!

  130. Comment by Aedin WI | 18.Aug.08 @ 8:35 am

    Stargate Atlantis Writers:

    I am so pissed that I paid for this dvd set and you kill off my favorite character. Carson Beckett gave a significant balance to this series. He was the voice of morality and reason when the rest of the team needed it. He also played the part to perfection. You believe that he is a caring doctor when you see him. In retrospect the new doctor you bring in just seems like an actress the entire time. I like my shows to be immersive and emotionally binding. Unfortunatley by taking away Carson you took away my desire to watch your show. Shame on you!

    The character of Carson Beckett is absolutely necessary on SG-A. As an affinity Scot (my, when will we again hear our beautiful accent on an “international” cast?), and as a worker in the medical field, I found Carson to embody the best in both. He was never anything other than a Scot, and was the most ethical and compassionate physician to boot. SG-A without Dr. Beckett is worthless and I, for one, will no longer watch the show or buy any DVD’s. Carson, gie it laldy!

    I agree with all my fellow writes above. I just recently saw the episode where Dr. Carson Beckett dies. I cried my eyes out. I truely loved and enjoyed his character. Plus Paul McGillion is a wonderful actor. Plus he is handsome and sexy and the accent well it makes me go weak in the knees. But I agree please bring Dr. Carson Beckett back. I agree he is the most ethical and compassionate physician. Please bring him back to Star gate Atlantis.

    Carson Beckett is no doubt one of the most essential characters in the show! He was a very caring person… and everyone was friends with him! He had loads of fans and now they’re all going to disappear along with him. It’s really sad! But I have to say he did die doing what he does best… but he really shouldn’t have died at all! It’s absolutely horrible! Paul McGillion is a very talented actor, and will obviously happily rejoin the cast…so come on! >< Hmph! He was like the best doctor in Stargate history! And the sexiest one too… I’ll miss you Beckett! Mwahhhh. xx. PLEASE BRING HIM BACK!

    New doctress is nothing compare with Beckett.
    to the WRITERS: ATLANTIS WORTH NOTHING WITHOUT ex-doctor & ex-commnder Weir…
    IF you will not get them back to it it will be senceless to watch it…. That is the opinion of most Russians!!! Hey… we are here.. on the other side of the planet… WE WANT ALL BACK!!!
    McKay & Sheppard now are the only characters who keeps watchers interest to Atlantis!!!

    i only just started watching stargate atlantis, but what the hell ? why would they kill off the best character ? when i watched the episode last night (on dvd) i started to cry, and i have not stopped crying since then…i dont remember ever being this sad…
    beckett is by far the best character on the show and i think its awful how he had to leave…and how no body would go fishing with him!! that bit makes me the saddest…so im just writing to say…if there is a way to bring back beckett..they bloody well should!!!!

    like Katie, i just started watching it and i literally turned off the show when Carson died, fully intending NOT to turn it back on again. my friend had to tell me the exact episode where he comes back and i intend to read some summaries and skip ahead to Carson. Yes, writers we KNOW that the characters can die, they’re HUMAN, now did you have to go and bloody PROVE it?

    I saw “Sunday” last night and have to say I was surprised and a bit choked up when it happened. I have to agree with Katie, I thought it was all made worse by the fact that no-one would go fishing with him, although most can not be blamed( already had plans) I have lost a lot of love for McKay who ditched his “so-called” best bud to sit around making small talk with the bird he fancies. BAD FORM McKay BAD FORM!! The bit at the end, where Carson tells him not to blame himself, that shows the measure of the man. I’d have told McKay to definatley blame himself and consider jumping from the central tower as penance!

    Hey it’s sad that they take Carson out of the Show. But I’m also dissapointed, that they take out Ford.

    i just finished the atlantis serise & i cant stop crying…it makes me sooo sad that carson had to die! y did u have 2 go & kill him like that! and the fact that no body wanted 2 go fishing with him just made it all the worse!!! it goes to show that ppl say “i’ll go nxt week” but how do u no that there will be a nxt week?!?! carson has been my favorite person on stargate atlantis since the first time he wuz on the show! i wasnt going to watch any more episodes but then i found out that he wuz going 2 cum back if even just for a little bit…that gave me hope!!!!! carson lives & he will live in every 1 that believes that i wuz wrong 4 the producers 2 kill him! but since they have him back on the show means they do have a heart & that they have heard our protests about this injustice!!!
