I too live in Australia. My kids brought me the season 3 disc for xmas knowing how far behind it is on the tv here. I hadnt been spoilt at all regarding the demise of Carson. So as you can guess I have watched the Sunday episode with no itdea of what was to come. I think I may have hit the rewind button several times in disbelief and several tissues as well. I’m still in shock!! Beckett was a character that grew though the show and was continuing to do so. He certainly made up the team. Stagate franchise seem to find it easy to kill off the doctors in both series to shake things up. Well they certainly got the “SHAKE”

I kind of watch the show hit and miss. One of the things I really enjoyed was the comic interaction between carson and rodney. I happened to tape that episode to watch later (4 days later). I was really upset by the loss of that character. that last scene actually brought tears to my eyes. I don’t see how the show can recover from lossing that character. Why not get rid of Tala. She’s pretty but boring. They really never did much with the character. I’m hoping you find some way to bring him back. Maybe the ancients could do it as a gift. Its fantasy for pete’s sake. No story line is to far out.

What a super message. We love the character you played, Paul. So sorry to see the heart of Atlantis disappear. Things will never be the same without you . I loved the interaction between the characters carson and rodney. God Bless you in your endeavors Paul McGillion.

Hi, loved Dr. Carson. Was sad to see him go and had great hopes that it would be a mistake and they let him back. I hope they do.

I will be seeing Paul McGillion at Shore Leave soon. I was planing to see what his thoughts are on this move SGA took, but now I see, I will wish him great luck.

Pretty sure im tired of having all my shows cancelled or my fav charecters killed off. The executives need to leave things be. Atlantis was doing just fine and killing off Carson was a bad move.There are better ways to shake things up then killing off the charecters that have been there since the beginning.This doesnt make me sad, frankly, it makes me mad that already in its third season they are killing off the originals.They need to make this right.

Why?!!!!! Why did they kill my beloved Carson? I miss him terribly, I’m glad to hear that he will be back for a few episodes next season but i want him back for good (singing I want you back for good). I can’t take this anymore they kill Ford and now Beckett, my favourite character. Arghhh!!!

I can see why they killed janet off, they thought the series was done for.
I cannot see why they have killed off Ford,Beckett, or any one else in atlantis
but atleast they are trying to bring some of sg1 over to atlantis

Why do they feel they have to kill off major characters? [The uporar from this is similiar to when they killed off Janet on SG-1.]
Why? Y Y Y Y Y Y Y
Carson was the best, he was one reason why I watched the show. BRING HIM BACK!!!
