Paul McGillion Answers Fan Questions
16.Dec.06 by astrumporta | Category News |
Paul McGillion participated in a Q&A here at TheSciFiWorld.net. He was of course asked about “the rumors” and here is what he had to say:
Question 1: The question that everybody wants to know. There are rumors about the death of Carson Beckett in the second half of season 3. Rumors born form a photo of a funeral and a Scottish flag … Fans have even created a website (http://www.savecarsonbeckett.com) So, without giving us any big spoilers, will you continue acting in season 4?
Paul McGillion: As much as I’d love to comment on these rumours — I am not at liberty to discuss until season 3 has completed airing. Just know that I have always loved working on Stargate-Atlantis and the fans have been so great to me. I’ll be happy to address this issue after season 3 has aired.
and this one:
Question 2: Looking back at season 3, what’s your thoughts on it? Were there any particular story arc you wish they had dealt with? Or what major arc would you like to see for Beckett in the future?
Paul McGillion: Season 3 has certainly been an eventful one for Carson Beckett. Stand-out episodes for me include : ‘Misbegotten’ — the retrovirus story is very interesting and I believe it’ll be developed further. ‘Irresistible’ — working with Richard Kind was a real pleasure and Beckett crying with Sheppard in a puddle jumper is always something to behold. ‘Phantoms’ — I thought i twas such an interesting script that Carl Binder wrote. Seeing all the main characters encountering moral dilemmas made for a really exciting episode of Atlantis. And finally ‘Sunday’ - well, when you watch it you’ll know what I mean!
This seems to confirm what we’ve said all along, that Carson will meet his end in “Sunday.” We believe only fan reponse will reverse this disastrous decision, and we’ll continue to campaign on those grounds!

Insanity! All our flatmates and friends have become as big a fans as we are, and the character of Carson Beckett is one of the favourites!! He provides a good balance and some excellent humor and it would definately be tragic to lose him. Defiantely add us (and most of our mates) to the “against the disastrous decision” list!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Last I heard Carson was simply disappearing! Now this isn’t true? I had been holping this wasn’t true! If we lose Carson for ANY reason I won’t be able to watch again! Much as I like John and Radek…… NO! They can STILL film a chanage if they want!~ Don’t they realize what they are DOING to the show AND the fans? They DON’T CARE seems to be the answer. Are we going to find out Carson ascended and will come back like Daniel did? I don’t NEED a funeral! I want Carson!!!!

nooooooo, please don’t kill Carson. please please please please please please please please SAVE Carson Beckett!!
what is with Stargate and killing off the doctors -
first Dr Janet Fraser (Teryl Rothery) and
now Dr Carson Beckett (Paul McGillion)please please don’t do this, Stargate SG-1 hasn’t been the same since Janet died late in season 7. Don’t subject Atlantis fans to the same fate.
all those in favor of saving Carson say AY
AY
love you Paul, keep up the excellent work
LONG-LIVE CARSON BECKETT

It looks like the best we can hope for is ascension. Everybody pray for Carson’s soul now…
