just saw the episode off my dvr
what a bummer
he was such a beloved character, unassuming, caring compassionate, and a darn goood doc. I actually shed a tear. The episode the following week also just seen off my dvr has no mention of beckett at all!!! at least when ford disappeared, shepard went looking for him and the team was concerned about him. beckett is gone and not a word.

hopefully the writers will get this figured out?

What’s really terrible is the manner in which they killed him off. C’MON, an explosive tumor???? I thoroughly enjoy cheesy scifi and am willing to suspend belief, but this is a quality series and that’s just baaaad writing…He cheated death on so many previous occasions only to be taken out by a chunk of medical waste?! They did a poor job leading up to it also with the arguments about Carson sealing off that level of the tower to try to save the tech from certain death. I think the time spent arguing would probably have been enough for him to get away from the flesh fireball that surrounded him at the end. A better end might have been to just let him get lost on an episode, like Ford earlier in the series, where we have no real idea what happened to him but always hope he’ll pop up again in the future.

I am truly saddened and angered by the decision to eliminate the character of Dr. Carson Beckett. How can the writers expect to retain viewer loyalty in this manner? At this point I have lost interest in watching the program on a regular basis and only the return of Dr. Beckett would rekindle my interest!

Dr. Beckett has accended for his actions. That’s why they showed a clip of him and Rodney standing together talking. He’ll end up probably de-accending in a future eposide.

I am truly saddened by his departure, as grand a finale as it was.
The biggest reason I liked SGA was the fact it had such a huge family.
Beckett truly was the moral fibre of the cast, if anything, he was the most realistic human of the bunch.
I wonder if the writers have been complaining that it’s too hard to write episodes for so many characters. If so, then this shows a weak link that should be rectified.
Are we now moving to a show which will only concentrate on the main SG team?
Or is it because those in power are worried that “us hare regalar fohlks” might watch less of the show “becuz its soh cohmplakaytud” for our little viewer minds.

Here’s hoping for a Daniel Jackson moment eh?! Cheers!

Wait, i just saw 2 episodes after he died, and guess what, he is there again! WTF? So, is he dead or alive? In sunday he died, but then in the new one with the underwater station, he was still there. Or the one fore that. I cant remember right now. But, what is going on?

I am truly shocked! Carson must stay! Have the writers gone crazy by writing him out of the story?

WRITE BECKETT BECK!!

Writing Carson out has made your series very vulnerable!
