I sent off an email for the campaign. I can’t believe TPTB would do such a callous thing, but then I couldn’t believe that The X Files killed off the Lone Gunmen either.
The idea that the ONLY show I watch may be killing off the one reason I watch the show doesn’t leave me in a very good space. If Carson goes, so do I.

I don’t really watch atlantis but i when i do there are only a few men on there that i can stand- McKay, Sheppard and BECKETT! They cannot be allowed to kill of another doctor! Let’s not replay a Janet Fraiser! Ppl are still working to get her back! I’m one of them! SAVE JANET FRAISER!! LOL! But anyway! I LOVE THE ACCENT!! They cannot kill Beckett! i like him too much!

I watched the Atlantis pilot because Daniel and Jack were featured characters. It honestly didn’t grab me. The whole season aired and I didn’t bother with it. Then, I got an Atlantis episode free with one of my SG-1 DVDs and thought - what the heck. I watched it.
It happened to be “Poisoning the Well,” with Carson Beckett front and centre. I absolutely loved the character and the story. It was only because of how brilliant Paul McGillion is that I started watching Atlantis.
Carson is the one who drew me in and keeps me watching. Without him, I don’t know that there is much point in watching.

I must confess that i have only seen the first and about the half of the second season so far, (i’m from germany, so we have to wait about 1 year till we can see the “new” episodes :[ ) but somehow there aren’t many characters i really like. I really don’t like teyla… sheppard, weir and ronon are okay, but nothing special to me… the only ones i really admire are mckay and beckett. so i think if beckett would leave the show.. well.. i would leave, too

I hope, Dr. Beckett from serie Atlantis do not dismiss more. He haves up to now a good job..it can however be that he would like it,Many Fan´s in Germany to these characters got accustomed also here.
sorry for my englishgerman_stargate atlantis fan

Dr. Beckett is the voice of calm, tolerance, and humanity on the show. The others are military, or administrative. Dr. Beckett is the true humanist willing to stand up for all of life –even when the Wraith are turned into humans! The ideals of his character are very much in keeping with what we would hope to see in humanity as humanity goes to the stars. I think his character provides a necessary element of perspective and diversity that is badly needed on the show. Becket goes … I go.
-
We from Paul McGillion Fans Online are really concerned about the rumors and discussions regarding Carson’s fate.
When Sheppard is the military leader, and McKay the scientific mind, Carson Beckett is the heart and the soul of Atlantis. And if TBTB are too blind to see that they can’t rip out the heart out of Atlantis and replace it, it will be never be the same again. I will support Paul McGillion in any way in this cause even if that means that I watch the show no more.
Atlantis should not become the place to catch up formerly actors of SG-1 or other dropped shows, e. g. Firefly/Serenity.

Oh boy, why does everthing need to be saved? Why isn’t everything all right from the start? I’m working to Save Stargate SG1 on one side, but I’m definitely going to work to Save our Scottish doctor too! I’ve met Paul, and he’s a great guy, and Carson is an excellent member of the team. He doesn’t deserve to go. Unless they are doing what they thought they did with Janet: killing her off in what they thought was the last season of the show. And with SG1 cancelled… I think we ALL need to work on BOTH shows…

SAVE CARSON! I WAS BEGINNING TO LIKE HIM!!! HE IS MY ENCOURAGEMENT TO BECOME A DOCTOR!

Comment by Miyth | 28.Sep.06 @ 6:34 pm
Though I do not know if the rumors are true, I would not want to miss a chance to support Carson Beckett as a character on SGA. I think it would be a horrible mistake to kill of such a wonderful character to the show, and especially when he was just made a main character and granted his chare of screen time.
I hope the rumors are just that: rumors. But just in case I’d rather be safe then sorry.
Please hear us out TPTB! Don’t take our Scottish Doc away from us!

OMG I am gonna scream if someone offs poor Carson Beckett! I love that guy! Such a sweetheart! SAVE BECKETT!
-
I love Stargate Atlantis and one of my favorite (and all my friends’ favorite) character is Beckett, and not just because of his accent! He has one of the best developed characters on the show and has great potential for more. It would be awful to take him off when his character has so much to offer. He’s one of the characters that brings everyone else together and I think it’d be a horrible mistake to take him off. There’s absolutely no reason to.

Comment by Erika | 02.Oct.06 @ 5:34 am
I’ve written my five letters and just need to stop by the post office to mail them today.
What makes this show so worth watching is its chemistry. While Beckett might not be the “star” of the show, characters like Beckett and Zelenka give the show a greater depth and team spirit that makes it worth watching. Hopefully the rumors will be confirmed one way or another by the end of the hiatus because right now while contemplating the possible end of Beckett, I don’t feel particularly interested in watching any more episodes.
This is the wrong ‘egg to break’ to add drama to the series!

Comment by Marianne Mueller | 02.Oct.06 @ 12:07 pm
Let Carson live !!! I’m from Germany and fan of SG the motion pic, love the show with Col. O’Neill and everyone. Since SGA started and I heard there is a scottish character in the series - I watch each show on DVD in English first. It’s so great to see how Dr. Beckett’s character evolved by the play of Mr. McGillion - no one can replace him, neither an actor nor a different character in the show. It would be such a huge loss, the show won’t be the same. And the success you had so far - surely gone. It would be the same as one had decided to let “Bones” die in the original Star Treck series or “Data” in STNG. Nothing would be the same without those characters.
Besides that - I personally would miss this wonderful scottish accent very deeply - Scotland forever !! -
Comment by Dupont Louis | 04.Oct.06 @ 6:08 am
Carson doit vivre
sinon y aura plus de concurent avec beckett cest las fin d’atlantis et de SG1 !!!! -
Please don’t let them kill off the one person that the fans made a permanent member of the regular cast in the first place! It’s utterly ludicrous, they’ll lose a heck of a lot of support from the fanbase and a huge ammount of people will stop watching like they (and I) did when they tried killing off Daniel Jackson.
Don’t let the powers that be be that stupid again!

Comment by G Furco | 06.Oct.06 @ 8:56 am
Please save BECKETT. He is a vital part of the show. He brings a sense of well being and at home feeling during the show.

Comment by Karl F. GÃœNTHER | 06.Oct.06 @ 11:20 am
Please don´t kill such a wonderful character like Dr. Beckett!!! He is one of the most important characters in the SGA-Team. SGA NEEDS DR. BECKETT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment by Tracy | 07.Oct.06 @ 8:12 am
I love the team that Atlantis has right now.
For main characters, as well as recurring characters, the personal interactions are becoming more natural and spontaneous. They are becoming more like family to one another.
It would be a shame to see that growth disrupted in a misguided attempt to “create drama”. I don’t want ANY of Atlantis’ main characters to die. Keep the team stable for a few seasons and let the writers write for the characters they already have.
See what kind of fan following Atlantis develops then!
Thanks for listening. -
Comment by Liz | 07.Oct.06 @ 9:36 pm
I sincerely hope these rumors are untrue. But in case they are, I want to add my support for both the character and the actor.
Carson Beckett is the sole reason I started watching SGA. He is the main reason this avid SG-1 fan became a *bigger* SGA fan.
Compassion, heart and humanity…a character that can make me laugh and then cry…the depth and dimension Paul McGillion brings to him…
Those are the reasons to save Carson Beckett.Don’t take the heart away from Atlantis.
-
Comment by Lynne | 11.Oct.06 @ 8:43 am
Carson Beckett is the reason I keep watching SGA. I enjoy the other characters as well, but I connected with him. If he dies, I won’t be able to watch anymore. The show would never be the same. You don’t need to shock your audience to keep the show fresh.

Please, save Carson! His accent is too cute for be cut, come on!
LUV U BECKETT!!! 4 EVER!!!
But if you did, he have to die good, in hero. He is already a hero, so he have to die that way!
-
Comment by Gerda | 23.Oct.06 @ 12:49 am
Whats wrong with these people? They allready killed janet Frasier in sg-1 the best dr. they had, and now thy kill or allready killed Dr. beckett!
I think he’s cute and he reminds me a little of Scotty fro m Star trek when he speaks with this accent he has. I like him and how he is in the serie. So why kill him?
Or maby he didn’t want to go any further thats also possible, but I think they made a mistake. If they allready have filmed the episode than this is sad. -
Comment by Claudia | 26.Oct.06 @ 11:27 am
Hi ! I am from Germany and so I am only half through the 2nd season of Atlantis, but I was shocked to hear about the rumours. I will send two letters and hope against hope that it was just a rumour. Dr Carson Beckett, Weir and Shepard and now Ronon are the charakters I like most. As much as I would personally hate it if Paul leaves the show, I think it would be a story mistake, too. AGAIN letting a doctor die would be just a repeated story.
-
Comment by Lisa | 31.Oct.06 @ 2:20 am
Are you kidding me? They can´t kill my favourite Stargate character. Carson Beckett is SO cute!!! What are they thinking? That would really be a shame!!! I hope this is just a really evil rumor but if he goes, so do I!
A huge danish Paul McGillion fan. -
Comment by Red Phoniex | 31.Oct.06 @ 4:56 am
I hate shows that kill off people like Carson to add fear for other characters. I don’t watch them. If Carson goes, i go. The writers are letting us down by not giving him anything to do. I’m with this site all the way!
-
Comment by Xaphania06 | 02.Nov.06 @ 4:09 am
they just cannot axe the best doctor in the whole of the pegasus galaxy off- it’s unthinkable and very cold hearted!
He and David Hewlett are like the comedy soul in the show and without their joking around and Carson’s anacdotes there would be a little less light shining on the show.
Save Carson Beckett or MGM and SGA may lose quite a lot of loyal viewers in protest and that would be a great shame because the show may not last and may di en out like SG-1 without the fans who really matter.
Honour him and SAVE HIM!!! -
Comment by Pipsy | 03.Nov.06 @ 6:43 pm
I seriously don’t think I’ll be able to continue watching the show if they kill off Carson. Even with McKay and Ronan- THEY’RE NOT CARSON!
Why does this feel so much like when they offed Daniel??? Haven’t they learned yet?
Oh, and what are they thinking? McKay loves Carson! It would kill him to lose his little brother!!! Have a little heart. Beisdes, I don’t want to go through another Iceaberg Jack in the form of an Emotionless McKaY.
I CAN’T GO THROUGH THIS ALL AGAIN! STOP IT, TPTB!!!
-
Comment by Gnome | 08.Nov.06 @ 2:59 pm
I can’t believe anyone would do something like that. Atlantis without Carson is like Frosted Flakes without the sugar. It wouldn’t be the nor would it be worth watching anymore. CARSON CANNOT BE REPLACED!!!! This is like going thru losing Daniel…These people sure know how to shoot down viewers (Just look at SG-1, Oh wait THEIR SHOW IS GETTIN CANCELLED *hint hint*)
-
Comment by Stacey | 09.Nov.06 @ 7:36 am
Carson Beckett is the heart and soul of Atlantis. While I like and admire many of the other characters, Carson is the only one that I can relate to on a personal level. In a show full to bursting point with neurotic geniuses and stoic military types, Carson represents an all too human element that is often neglected in sci-fi. He is the every-man in space - the reluctant adventurer. His warmth, compassion and humility has made him a firm favourite amongst the fans, and I feel the it would be a terrible mistake for tptb to lose him .
If the rumours prove true, tptb are doing a terrible disservice to their fans. If Dr Beckett goes, I will stop watching the show, and I know that there are many others out there who feel the same.
-
Comment by DebbieSG1 | 13.Nov.06 @ 4:15 pm
Don’t get rid of Becket he and McKay are one of the best things about Atlantis. Medical stories are so much better with a regular doctor who has humour and character. SG1 wasn’t and isn’t the same without the Janet Frasier Character, so much has been lost from it with her passing and it was done terribly baddly its one of the worst SG1 send offs ever. Don’t make the same mistakes on Atlantis I’ve been enjoying season three so much so far its found its feet and killing Beckett is not a great decision if its true. McKays character would deminish as well. Don’t try to be like Battlestar and Lost, SG1 and Atlantis aren’t the shame type of show. You don’t have to kill characters to make good tv, stick to good story telling.
-
Beckett is without a doubt one of my 3 most favorite people on the show and if they kill him off it will be a bumer. McCay is funny but with beckett’s help the show can have you rolling for at least a second or two. He is the only male doctor on a sci-fi that has ever grabed my attention.
-
Comment by Izzie | 14.Nov.06 @ 5:17 pm
Doctor Carson Beckett is the heart and soul of SGA. He makes us laugh and he has the most wonderful accent. He’s an amazing man with lots of love and care.
But I guess one way to run a show to the ground is the kill off all the good characters, though.
But still, Carson Beckett can’t leave! -
Comment by Play It Grand | 16.Nov.06 @ 7:45 am
I am not a huge Atlantis fan. I watch it mainly for the character and history crossovers. However, I am a big fan of Rodney Mckay, and through him I came to like Carson a lot. I don’t want to see him killed off when Paul doesn’t want to leave . . . it would be like Janet getting killed and Teryl Rothery leaving all over again!
I’m too busy with the Save SG-1 campaign to join here, but I will keep an eye on the developments here.
Save Carson! Save SG-1! Both will help Atlantis to survive longer!
-
Comment by Helen | 16.Nov.06 @ 8:16 am
OK, so which nitwit decided that killing off Carson would be a good idea? Possibly the same person that thought that killing off Daniel and Janet would be good ideas too? Having met Paul this weekend, he has to be one of the most funniest men that I have met and is so charming and amiable to the fans that he is an asset to any production that he works for. I just hope that the powers that be find some “shower scene from Dallas” way of bringing him back!
-
Comment by Erynn | 19.Nov.06 @ 3:50 pm
Over on LiveJournal in the Beckett_McKay community, someone reports that N. John Smith confirmed that Carson will be leaving the show late in season three, but that they’re not killing him. Essentially they’re pulling a Ford on him. With Paul saying that TPTB listen to the fans, it’s time to mobilize everyone to make sure we get Carson back permanently in season four — unlike the crap they pulled with Ford. Here’s the link to the confirmation:
http://community.livejournal.com/beckett_mckay/177944.html#cutid1
Bring back Carson!

Comment by Ana | 20.Nov.06 @ 5:29 am
I cannot believe that the rumors were finally true! TPTB are going to “kill” Carson and i think this decision is very wrong. He is a well loved character by everyone and he adds so much to the chemistry of the show - which for me is perfect and not in need for any change!
We want Carson in Atlantis- save Carson! -
Comment by Hanna | 20.Nov.06 @ 5:55 am
I don’t know why for the life of me they are juggling with a cast that is fine the way it is.
The only reason they are doing this that i cant think of is that Paul himself want’s time off or the TPTB have gone totaly insane when they already have a great cast why bring in another doctor when they already have one that’s more than up to the job know what i mean ladies!
I suppose we’ll find out the real reason after season 3 ends -
Comment by Keeley | 20.Nov.06 @ 8:11 am
OMG when I herd this, I was soooooo sad! I’m like, WTF NO!!!!!! Please,please,please bring back Beckett!!!!!!! WE LOVE HIM!!!!!!
-
Comment by Leslie | 20.Nov.06 @ 8:25 am
My letters are being written today. I truly do hope that the powers that be can be shown the importance of keeping Dr. Beckett as a full time character on the show. Shepherd and Ronin are fun to watch but they are characters for the male viewers to enjoy - rough and tumble type of action. But Dr. Beckett has a quality that, obviously, appeals to the female viewers. If they have any doubt of that fact, just read the many message boards that have been established on behalf of this character. If any of those in charge happen to read any of these messages, “PLEASE KEEP CARSON BECKETT/PAUL MCGILLION AROUND AS A PRIMARY MEMBER OF THE CAST”
Thanks!
~L -
Carson is a spot of true compassion and goodness on Atlantis. Paul portrays him perfectly. The show will never be the same without him and I hate to say it, but I don’t think I’ll want to stick around if he’s not there. Maybe he isn’t the reason the show exists, but he’s the reason I exist as a fan of the show.
BRING CARSON BACK!!!!
-
Comment by Mary | 20.Nov.06 @ 8:44 am
I can’t believe that they plan to get rid of Carson!!! This is soooooo not fair! We love Dr. Beckett!! Don’t let him go!!! This is like SDJ all over again!!!

Comment by sandyurbahns | 20.Nov.06 @ 11:07 am
Why get rid of a perfectly good character and a wonder actor? Is it a money issue, do they not have enough for him and that new woman they hired? Get rid of her and leave Carson alone is my answer. They don’t need another female star they aren’t doing enough with the two female leads they already have. Carson, Rodney and Radek are the only reasons I watch the show. When Carson goes so do I. I’ll live in a fanfiction world where I’m sure the writers are smater than TPTB. I’m off to write to the producers now.
-
Comment by Chris | 20.Nov.06 @ 1:58 pm
I met Paul on a convention in Germany and although he didn’t say anything about Beckett’s faith, I got the impression he really likes to stay on the show as a regular, which is certainly something any SGA fan I know will wholeheartedly support. Carson Beckett is a very important character, further more he is an interesting character, still developing and yet part of what gives the series a certain stability. You would not think of taking Dr. McCoy out of Star Trek Classic, and writing Carson out of SGA, even if he doesn’t die (and I’m grateful for that little bit, really) comes pretty close to doing just that. Please, reconsider and bring him back for real.

Comment by Barb | 20.Nov.06 @ 8:39 pm
When I heard that the rumors are true, and Carson will “disappear” in season three, I immediately wrote letters to TPTB. I hope it helps and gets my favorite SGA character back! It just won’t be the same without Carson/Paul….

Comment by Antares Star | 20.Nov.06 @ 9:21 pm
Carson is a strong and unique character on the show, and his departure will certainly have an adverse effect. I gurentee the ratings will drop; there are more Beckett fans out there than the producers realize. This is a huge mistake, and must be fixed.
It is never too late to throw a script away or rewrite it. Peter Jackson made several last minute decisions on LotR that had an enormous impact on the movie. If he hadn’t had the courage and intellect to realize the last minute changes were necessary, we would have a completly different movie. The producers need to follow his example, its only too late when th episode has aired.
-
Comment by Amy(aust.) | 21.Nov.06 @ 2:39 am
Dr Beckett is one of the characters who brings a bit of comedy to Atlantis. It’s also nice to hear another accent on the show (and he does it so well).
I definitely think it would be a mistake to phase him out of the show. The implications of such a thing need to be addressed (he as a huge fanbase). -
Comment by Carly Walker | 21.Nov.06 @ 3:03 am
I can’t believe they want to take away Carson. He’s one of my favourite characters. The lovely Scottish doc plays an important role, and I’d hate to see him go.
Come back Paul McGillion!
-
Comment by Katharina | 21.Nov.06 @ 6:12 am
I love Firefly and I love Jewel Staite and I’d be more than happy to see her on Atlantis. But I DON’T want her to replace Carson!
I mean one of the reasons I stopped watching Atlantis in my native language (German) was Carson. The character is so awesome with his Scottish accent. He’s just so… I don’t know how to describe it. He’s just one of the best characters on the show and I’m sure he would be missed very much.
-
Comment by Vecturist | 21.Nov.06 @ 7:38 am
It was the character of Carson Beckett that got me hooked on Stargate Atlantis and I don’t want to see him go. There’s an interesting dichotomy to the character - the split between caring physician and genetics/bioweapons researcher which mirrors a lot of what is going on in certain biological science circles today with the debate over stem cell research and lapses in ethics/research protocol and is just ripe for character and plot development.
-
How can they do that???
They Killed Dr Fraiser in SG1, and now, we lose Carson Beckett in SGA?!
There is only one explanation to that : They HATE doctors!! They love creating characters of nice, kind doctors which are loved, and then BOOM!! They kill them!! They love playing with our hearts!!!
It is SO UNFAIR!!!
Paul, I L Y !!

Comment by Doe214 | 21.Nov.06 @ 12:21 pm
OMG! I can’t believe that they are getting rid of the ADORABLE Carson Beckett! That is just plain wrong! He is one of the reasons I got into this show. I absolutely LOVE his character and will be really put out if they do this. What are they thinking? I WILL be writing my letters!
-
I can’t believe that they remove Beckett from SGA.
That is so stupid and ….. (I can’t find the right words).
One of the most interesting characters in the SGA World. He is not black or white, his character has gone through a development within the first seasons. Who would have thought at the beginning of SGA that Beckett would make experiments with Wraith?
The story changes for Becketts character were great and made the story even better. And now the executives will remove him from the show.I don’t understand that. How can they be so damn stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment by Claudia | 21.Nov.06 @ 1:23 pm

Comment by Diesel Vanilla | 21.Nov.06 @ 4:05 pm
It’s hard to find the right words to fully express how MAD I am about the decision to reduce/stop the role of Carson Beckett! This is just ridiculous! This character is essential… and I know everyone keeps repeating it… but he IS the heart and moral voice of Atlantis! Are the PTB completey insensate towards the fans! We’re the ones who keep up your viewing figures damn it!!! Well, if Paul goes it is your loss TPTB because he is a SUPERB actor and totally undeserving of this!!!
-
Comment by Sian | 21.Nov.06 @ 4:09 pm
I watch the show because it’s a show about *people* (okay, except a lot of second season, which was about action). Everyone on the show is an excessive personality one way or another. Nearly a charicature of themselves. Except for Carson. He’s like the zero mean in the middle of all the excesses. The person everyone can relate to. He has faced real dilemnas in his journey, and he’s grown more than any other character on the show, by far. He’s the character whose journey interests me the most, and whom I most want to see when I tune in every week. He is Atlantis for me.
When I heard that Carson would be a regular in second season, I was ecstatic. And I’m equally disappointed to learn of such a reckless decision by the show’s producers. What could possibly be gained by killing the character Martin Gero himself called “the breakout star of the pilot”? And I’m very sorry for Paul McGillion. He was brilliant in the role, he earned his part as a regular on the show, and this is how he’s repaid.
Paul, it won’t be the same without you. I truly hope you come back to stay.

Comment by Cadiliniel | 22.Nov.06 @ 7:14 am
I really do suspect I’ll lose interest in the show without Carson. While I’ll probably still watch, it won’t be with nearly as much enthusiasm or joy. It makes me sad that they can’t come up with a better way of making their stories exciting other than writing out a well-loved character.

Comment by Jeanette | 22.Nov.06 @ 8:23 am
Don`t get rid of Carson….its one of the reasons why I begun watching the show. *sniff* Damn. I dont`t want the scottish guy to go…he is so loveable, funny, real, adoreable, cute and….fantastic characther. Do the TPTB have something against doctors? First Dr Janet Fraiser on SG-1 and now Carson on SGA? Why?
I am confused, why make him a main character then rip it away after such a short time. I hope they wont make him another Ford. (poor dude)
Bring Carson Back!!!

Comment by Jen | 22.Nov.06 @ 11:25 am
Beckett may not be my favorite character of the show but I can still appreciate his part in it.First of all if you were going to kill Beckett off they should have down it by the 2nd season. By now he is an intregal part of the show, with his own fan base.His character’s is too developed at this point to just get rid of him. Especially considering his part in the Wraith “cure”. The second part I’d like to make is thatmy friends and I are tired of watching actors from other scifi shows come into the Stargate universe and play a new character in it by replacing old ones. If you must absolutely get rid of Paul McGillion then introduce a new actor that we’ve never seen before.It feels like Scifi is just being lazy and not putting the effort into finding new talent. It feels like Scifi producers are just recylcing actors from their other shows. “Oh your show ended?Why don’t you come onto Stargate” I’m tired of seeing actors that weren’t very good on their shows coming onto Stargate and messing ours up. There’s reason those shows were canceled, it’s because the actors and their characters weren’t likeable enough and people did not want to watch them. Don’t make the same mistake on Stargate. We like it the way it is.

Carson Beckett, may not be an in your fac character, by that I mean a character that is there all the time, like Sheppard or McKay. But he plays an important part to the stories of the TV show. Carson is the most real character on the show, I defy anyone that says they don’t relate to Carson some way or another.
Getting rid or killing off Paul’s character is wrong if he;s just gonna be replaced by an SG-1 character!! I lve SG-1, I’m sorry to see it go, but Paul belongs on this show, it would not be the same without him there, he is a truely amazing man and actor, and is just as important as any other character on the show. I was so pleased when Paul’s name came onto opening credits, don’t take that away, so soon. Has there been a decline in popularity of Paul’s character, some how I think not, he’s as popular as ever and still very much loved by his fans.
Please don’t kill Paul’s character off!! His fans are begging you not to kill him off, please listen to us!!
I could go on forever, so will end here.
Please don’t kill off Carson Beckett!!!!!!

I can’t imagine Atlantis without the doctor. What was the point to make him one of the vital characters and after that get rid of him? I think things like that won’t give them anything but disappointed viewers.

Oh you should have seen it at collectormania when John Smith confirmed that Carson was going! People were not happy and even Joe and Kavan looked uncomfortable when they realsied that none of us knew!
Hoe I read it was Carson is definately going! By what means I’m not sure but John Smith meantioned that perhaps he could come back as somebody else leading me to belive that carson is going to die! However if we keep speaking out they may bring him back! Look at michael shanks!

Noooo! They can’t do this! I love Carson Beckett, he’s one of my favorite characters! Normally it’s cool when they carry SG-1 traditions over to Atlantis, but this is *not* one of those times!!! They’ve just got to keep him!!

Please don’t kill of Carson Beckett. He is such a great character on Stargate Atlantis and is really needed there. Without him it won’t be the same- like Stargate Sg-1 with out Janet Frasier, there are no replacements for both character! Carson Beckett plays a pivotal role in the Atlantis team. Please keep him on, we all love him and will miss him dearly if he goes!

Carson and Paul’s popularity among we fans prompted you to add him to the main credits only a Season ago… What are you thinking?? I implore you to reconsider!! Apart from anything else, I think you are better than the use of this tired old trick of cheap drama and plot manipulation… How many characters have been killed off similarly, in recent years, toward the end of a Season?? Don’t think we fans and the general viewing public haven’t noticed, and been adversely affected by this habit you’re developing..!
PLEASE, make an effort to keep Paul and his character in Stargate: Atlantis!!!
Doctor Carson Beckett is portrayed wonderfully by actor Paul McGillion, and both he and his character deserve more time in the cast of Stargate: Atlantis… The show is strengthened by their presence, by the interaction they provide (!) with main cast and guest stars alike… Beckett brings humanity and reality to the screen, integrity, both gentility and surprising strength, compassion (as showcased with Rodney, Teyla, Elizabeth, and John, at various points, as well as Ford & others’), frustration, trepidation, a warm reminder of home, and hilarity (especially when paired with Rodney McKay!)
There is also the business side of things to consider: McGillion & Beckett are HUGELY popular among the women of Stargate: Atlantis’ international audience… Get rid of them and you will notice the drop in demographics! He is a strong part of the pulling power of SGA that makes us turn on our televisions each week, and buy the DVDs, etc… Whether you believe me or not is, of course, up to you, but I know that his departure will cause some fans to lose interest in the show… They will not appreciate having such wonderful onscreen chemistry meddled with, and will not be so inspired or inclined to tune in each week, or fork out for DVDs (because they will not have their favourite, Doctor Beckett, there to cheer them up, on the screen, when they come home from a hard day in the real world…!)…
PLEASE, do not rid yourselves of one of the show’s strongest assetts, and joys to watch… You really will be deflating and depleting your much-needed fanbase if you do!

Carson is such a necessary character! How could they think of getting rid of him??
You can’t replace him, he’s to well loved! Like Janet!Don’t make this mistake again, PLEASE!

Comment by Catherine | 23.Nov.06 @ 8:57 am
I’m a huge fans of Paul and until he became bona fide member of the cast I wasn’t too sure whether I was bothered about Dr Beckett.
Then Season 2 he got lots of storylines and grew as a character.
I’ve now seen the first 10 episodes of Season 3 and think hes really come into his own , I even like the fact that hes not afraid to grab a gun and try and kick some ass once in a while
I think it would be a huge mistake for his character to be either written out/killed off etc
Don’t do it TPTB

I really love the character of Carson Beckett, he quickly became my favorite and one of the main reasons i watch the show. Paul McGillion is a fantastic actor and does an amasing job with this character. Also will all of the stuff his character contributed and the real possibility that the wraith will be defeted by some bioligical means and Carson has done the most in that field regarding the wraith it seems stupid to me to get rid, even temporatraly, such an important character.
I ask that those in charge of making this decision rethink their ideas and listen to what the fans want as they are the reson that this show as made it to where it is now. Please do not take a great character off of this show, i just don’t think myself and many others whould be all that interested in watching anymore. -

Please don’t kill off Beckett.
In addition to being a great character, the international aspect is also important for me. Atlantis is supposed to be an international expedition, but I think the only non-American character we’ll have left is Rodney!
(Zelenka I would count as a minor role)

Comment by Linda Shadle | 24.Nov.06 @ 8:19 pm
What more can I say? I think all of the above comments have said it all!!! I started watching becuse of John Sheppard but quicly became totally hung up on a certain Scottish doctor with a heart of gold, an ascerbic wit and a great foil for McKay! Carson Beckett is the teddy bear I’d take with me everywhere! Paul McGillion is a wonderful actor and has brought Carson to the fore in a terrific way! ATLANTIS wouldn’t be the same without him and I know I wouldn’t be able to watch the show again without him.
It’s really unfair to the fans AND Paul to make him a cast regular, place him in the openingh credits, give Carson such terrific episodes to work in, then pull the rug out from under Carson, Paul and us!
Would Gene Roddenberry have killed off Dr. McCoy? NO! Carson Beckett is ATLANTIS’ wonderffully cuddly and ever so human version of Dr. McCoy!
PLEASE!!!! WE BEG OF YOU! DON’T DO THIS!!!!! We love Paul and we love Carson!

Comment by Kate | 24.Nov.06 @ 8:31 pm
I am really hoping that this is just a sick rumor. Carson has been a favorite of mine right from the start and it’s not just his incredibly sexy accent!!! He has been one of my reasons for watching the show. If they are so cruel as to kill him off, I might just stop watching the show. With SG-1, I was grieved when Janet was killed and I hated it when the Jack withdrawals started. But at least with Jack, I knew that he wasn’t dead and that he still intended to be around for some of it. With Carson tho, I don’t think I could stand it if he was off the show, dead or alive. I want CARSON!!!!!!

Comment by Ann | 25.Nov.06 @ 2:04 pm
I simply cannot understand this decision at all. After all the hard work it has taken for Paul to give us this universally popular character, then to have it all taken away from him !!
This decision to write him, and Carson, out of the series will be a complete disaster for the series. Why on earth take out one of its most popular characters, and replace him with someone else ?!?!?
You’ve seen the reaction, both here and on other sites throughout the net. Please listen and take note - kill off Carson Beckett and the series will die with him.
Whatever led you to take this decision - please do something, now, while series four is still being planned out, to reverse it.
You do NOT need to do this !! the series is working beautifully just the way it is - if it isn’t broke, why try to fix it ?!?
Thank you for your time - and please reconsider this decision.

Comment by Stargatecrazy (Katie) | 26.Nov.06 @ 1:50 am
I’ll be SO upset if Carson goes! He’s definitely one of my favourite characters!! TPTB are doing the same thing to Carson as they did to Janet! I don’t want it to happen! I loved Janet too! What is it with the killing or removing of medical characters?!
What will they do with out Carson and his Scotish-ness?!! I really don’t think I could watch Stargate Atlantis with the same enthusiasm with out him even though he isn’t my main reason for watching! Carson makes everything flow right! He’s the kind doctor that complains at Rodney’s complains and gets annoyed at Sheppard for constanly trying to escape the confines of the infirmary!!
CARSON CAN NOT GO!!! WITH OUT HIM IT WON’T BE THE SAME!!! SAVE CARSON!!

I believe that Carson is one of the most endearing characters of the show and that he adds a lot of emotion to the series. The show wouldn’t be as good with out him.
-
Comment by Adrian | 26.Nov.06 @ 6:08 pm
When I heard that Beckett was to be eliminated, I was shocked and VERY VERY upset. Dr. Carson is what makes Stargate Atlantis what it is. He is at the core of the show, his character brings life to the series; his character gives Stargate Atlantis that “something” that keeps viewers “glued” to the show. If Beckett is removed then that glue is removed and no matter who replaces him, the show will not be the same. He is part of the foundation of the show. As other people have said, “if he goes then I go”.
-
Comment by Tanya | 26.Nov.06 @ 6:24 pm
I can’t believe this! nooo! He can’t go away!
Please, producers - change your minds! -
Beckett is one of my favourite characters on Atlantis and it will be a HUGE loss if he leaves the show. I can’t understand why the producers would get rid of a fan favourite like Dr. Beckett. His empathy and humaneness are played so well by Paul McGillion. The relationship with Dr. McKay is hysterically funny at times and is another one of the reasons why I love his character so much.
Hopefully the producers will realize their mistake with this decision and change their minds in time!
-
Comment by Gnome | 26.Nov.06 @ 8:56 pm
I have posted how I feel about Carson leaving before. But still I must voice!!! This is a bloody outrage…Getting rid of characters like this should be illegal!!! Atlantis is NOT worth watching without Carson. And this whole “He’ll reoccur in the furture” is a nice way of tricking fans, it only means he’ll disappear into Stargate’s history!!!!!
Without Carson the show isn’t worth watching (Not even with Sheppard..Sry !! ) -
Comment by Devon | 26.Nov.06 @ 9:52 pm
No! Absolutely not! First you kill off Frasier, then depart RSF, now CB? No! The accent is great and his chemistry with Hewitt and Shephard is outstanding! I just wont allow this!

Comment by Connie | 27.Nov.06 @ 4:03 am
It is absolutely ridiculous that the producers of Stargate Atlantis would even fathom to kill off such a beloved character. Not only is Carson the moralizing voice disputing the sometimes questionable actions and decisions of the other members of the team, but he has truly become part of the Atlantis family.
Paul McGillion is a fantastic actor, and the chemistry that he has with the rest of the cast, especially David Hewlett and Torri Higginson, is potent. He has had three seasons to build up the camaraderie that he obviously shares with the rest of the cast, and these friendships definitely translate on-screen.
It would be a shame for Paul to have wasted such talent, time, and dedication on a character just to be cast into the wayside. Therefore, I implore you to reconsider your actions and listen to the many Carson and Paul fans that would hate to see him leave the show.
Thank you for your time.

Please keep Carson on the show! He is one of the most complex, fascinating and compelling characters I have found on a television show of any genre.

I have to say that I am so disapointed. My roomate from college got me hooked on SG-1 about 4 years ago. I mangaed to catch up and was so happy to have joined the club. I was so exicited that I was able to watch the spin-off Atlantis from the begining! Carson was my fav from the start. I was beyond happy to hear that he would be a regular cast memember. Now not only are you taking SG-1 off the air but you are taking Cason off Atlantis and changing everything up. I have to say that I am not happy with the way things are going. Please Please Please Keep Paul on the show!

Comment by Barry | 27.Nov.06 @ 7:14 pm

Comment by Dorothea | 27.Nov.06 @ 7:52 pm
Paul McGillion is such a great actor. He plays Carson Beckett so well. Please do not take him away from Atlantis.
Carson Beckett is indeed the heart of Stargate Atlantis. He is such a good soul. I love him in every episode. I can’t believe that you would take him away just like that. This is ridiculous. He is a very essential part of the Atlantis expedition.
Atlantis is Elizabeth, John, Rodney, Carson, Teyla and Ronan. This is THE TEAM. You are making a major mistake in dropping him as full cast.
Please please please please bring him back full time.
I beg of you please reconsider. -
Comment by Sarah | 28.Nov.06 @ 12:47 am
Noooo! They can’t do this!
Carson is such a great character. He’s representing us Brits! They can’t get rid of him.
These last seasons have given his character chance to develop alot more and he brings so many funny moments to Atlantis. His friendship with Rodney is one of the best in both stargates and it would be a shame to lose that.
He represents normality as well. The only character who actual lets it be known that he is out of his depth and doesn’t pretend this is all normal for him. It’s a great balance to have against all the military bravehearts.
I will write off to the addresses as soon as I can. I can’t stand another of my favourite characters to be killed/temporarilly killed off.Oh yeah..I should mention that this really shouldn’t come as a surprise to me really. Ever since I can remember watching tv/sci-fi all my favourite characters always end up dying…or some form of semi-perminant never coming back death…all of them. I really am cursed.

Comment by Phibi | 28.Nov.06 @ 6:00 am
I just attended a convention where Paul was one of the guests. He is so a nice and funny and polite guy. And he is a great actor. He plays Carson Beckett in a wonderful way and I really really love the scottish accent. Without Beckett there is something seriously missing in the series. I cannot for the life of me understand, why the PTB want him out. Everybody loves Carson, so do I. I will not stop watching Atlantis, because I like the series and the other characters, too, but I will miss Carson terribly…
And why do they always have to kick the doctors out? Why to kick out anybody anyway??? The cast is perfect as it is now. Why bother to bring in a new doctor? No one wants that…Now I go back crying…

To the PTB, Beckett is a brilliant character - the soul of Atlantis. Getting rid of him is just wrong! Weaning Rainbow out was bad enough, although i do like Ronan, but Atlantis won’t be the same without the scottish babe, so keep him in - even if only on a guest basis!! PLEEEAASE!!!!

Comment by Johnny Caber | 28.Nov.06 @ 7:51 pm
I am a huge fan of SGA, and although Beckett is not my absolute favorite, I respect that he is an integral part of the team. By adding Beckett in as a main title character in the second season, he began to get more story lines and interact more with the other main characters. Now, a year later, he is just as important as Sheppard or McKay to the SGA universe. If he leaves Atlantis, the show will suffer, I gurantee it.
Jewel is a wonderful actress, but Firfly was canceled for a reason. A new person should not take over a popular character’s part in hopes of bringing ratings up because she is a familiar face. Firefly fans are not going to start watching just because she’s on the show, they liked KAYLE not JEWEl. You WILL lose more Carson fans than you will gain Jewel fans. Please know that this is a rash decision and obvioulsy not a popular one (see above…and above…and more above)…

Comment by Shelby | 28.Nov.06 @ 7:54 pm
I will stop wwatching the show if Carson Beckett leaves. I know thousands of other will as well. You are putting the nails in Atlantis’s coffin, just like you bloody did with Stargate and Andromeda. Sci Fi has a talent for packaging their shows tidily for a slow ride in a hearse.

Comment by Rachel | 28.Nov.06 @ 8:35 pm
There is a good reason that Carson Beckett went from being a quest star to a main Character. When they took away SG-1 I still had Atlantis, but now they are taking great people away from Atlantis.
This is wrong. Carson Beckett is the best docter since Janet Fraiser.
He is so caring when it comes to what he does. Hes one of the kindest people on Atlantis. -
Comment by Jennifer | 28.Nov.06 @ 9:18 pm
I have to admit I was shocked when I heard the Dr. Carson Beckett played By Paul McGillion was being written off Atlantis at the end of season 3.
I can’t say that I will not watch the show if he leaves but I must say I do not think that the qualty of the show will remain the same. He is a beloved character and gives the show a much needed balance.
When Richard Dean Anderson Left SG-1 the writters worked hard to keep the show going and they did a good job but it was never the same. It just could not compare with the first 8 seasons and
I believe that Atalntis without Dr. Carson Beckett just will not be the same.I think for the sake of the show we need to keep Carson Beckett as a regular on Atlantis.
-
Comment by another Kelly | 29.Nov.06 @ 12:22 am
Paul McGillion’s brilliant portrayal of the sensitive, funny, and adorably awkward Carson Beckett is integral to chemistry of this show. I am a devoted & loyal fan from the pilot episode, but losing another beloved canon character (ahem, Rainbow Sun Francks…) will drive me away as a viewer.
-

I can’t even believe this! I’m shocked and disheartened. Dr. Beckett is one of the reasons I faithfully watch Stargate Atlantis!

Comment by Laura | 30.Nov.06 @ 2:20 am
I really hope the decision to remove Carson from regular status is reconsidered. Think back to season one and how he was only supposed to be in a few episodes until the PTB realised how well the fans were receiving him and wrote him into most of the episodes and then turned him into a regular; it seems silly to then go against all that support.
It’s maybe a bit trite, but I do believe that Carson represents the heart and compassion of the expedition and that very fact also allows him some angsty storylines as he struggles with what he has to do in the fight against the Wraith.
Please reconsider.

Comment by John Micallef | 30.Nov.06 @ 7:03 pm
This is unbelivable, I implore you to reconsider and hire Carson on as a regular similar to that of Joe Flannigan and David Hewlett. Why are they always doing this? Are they so desperate for storylines that they have to do an episode a season where a character dies just to make it more interesting? It’s getting repetetive. Why would they invest all of their time in getting people to love the character and then just kill him off as the audience warms up to him. If Carson goes, so do I. And the yearly purchase at the DVD store!

Comment by Adrienne | 01.Dec.06 @ 5:42 am
Not only is the character of Dr. Carson Beckett cute, funny and smart, he is also the only character that is entirely good and kind. It seems all the other main characters have no problem killing their enemies, but Dr. Beckett only does so as a last resort to save people. He is an example of how we should treat the people around us. Get rid of him and you get rid of one of the last inspirational characters on TV.
-
Comment by Debbie | 01.Dec.06 @ 6:02 am
If it is true and he is to be killed off it will be such a shame. He is a great character and I feel there is much more to be discovered about him and he is capable of much more
Just seeing him on the screen makes me smile.

Comment by Wendy | 01.Dec.06 @ 11:43 am
Like many others I started watching SGA because of Carson and the brilliant actor that portrayed him, Paul McGillion. I can’t believe that the producers and TPTB would eliminate such a well loved charachter and expect people to continue watching the show - just see what happened to SG-1 after Michael Shanks left for a season or with RDA leaving last season.
They also seem to have a thing for killing off the British charachters - remember Craig Veroni’s charachter?
Time for them to grow up and realise that the world does not revolve around one country or one charachter, that SGA is an ensemble cast that works very well in it’s current format and does not need a new charachter to replace an existing one and that as already said SGA is susposed to be made up of many nationalities (if Zelenka is leaving as well only Rodney will be from a different Earth country).
So please bring Carson back as quickly as possible and possibly save this show from being cancelled as well. -
Comment by JerriLynn | 01.Dec.06 @ 3:02 pm
I truly hope we can get the same power behind this campaign as was done with the Save Daniel Jackson campaign.
Paul McGillion is a very talented, wonderful actor, and his portrayal of Dr. Carson Beckett is one of the main reasons I watch this show. If they eliminate his character, they will, in my opinion, be eliminating the heart and soul, the voice of reason, the balance to McKay’s annoying egocentrism and paranoia. And, they will eliminate me as a viewer.
Off to copy down the addresses and send off a few letters.

I can’t believe they are getting rid of Carson Beckett!! I just read the news. WHY!?!?!?!?!?! He is a FANTASTIC character. He’s a sort of ‘Daniel Jackson’ foil to the more military Shepard and Science-y McKay!
KEEP BECKETT AROUND! We love Paul McGillon!

Being a midwestern guy here in Iowa I’ve enjoyed Carson’s sense of caring and dedication to his profession. It would be a huge loss for Stargate Atlantis to let Carson go, but there must be more behind the scenes issues then we might not know about. Maybe he wants to pursue other interests. In any case it will be a loss but these actors all know there acting lives are short lived and only a few can call their own shots as in the case with Dean Anderson. I hope they do reconsider if he is willing. I loved the scene when he told Rodney he would miss him. Very touching..

Carson is one of my favorite characters on SGA and I would truly hate to lose him. His compassion, ethics, and resulting moral dilemmas bring in a whole different aspect to the show that would otherwise be missed. Not only that, but he interplays so well with the other characters, bringing just the perfect flavor to any scene he is in. Plus, I find it is ridiculous to think that the others would except having their head doctor, a close friend and someone who walk through the gate with them when it was a one-way trip, replaced with a newbie just lately come from Earth. And none of this is more important to me than the fact I just really like Carson, and don’t want to see him go.

Carson makes this show. Well, the Carson, Rodney duo does. Not only will this be a bummer in and of itself, but it will ruin Rodney too. Who will be the banter-partner? This is like taking McCoy out of the origional Star Trek. Who would Spock have had to argue with? Would have ruined the whole thing. Same here, Sherpard just doesn’t cut it.

Ok… What is with the TPTB killing the doctors of the Stargate shows??? First they killed Dr. Frasier… now dr. Beckett?? This is so not cool. I’m tired of replacement doctors.

As much as I like Jewel Staite she could never replace Paul and the wonderful character of Carson. Please, TPTB, keep Paul on the show!

Carson Beckett is to Stargate Atlantis, as Scotty is to Star Trek. They killed Janet on SG-1, then Ford on Atlantis. Who’s next?
Save Carson Beckett!

I can’t believe that Carson Beckett is being written out! To me he is the most realistic character on the show. I like my scifi shows to have just a hint of realism. Don’t get me wrong, I love the other charcters, but I’d totally miss him to pieces and miss seeing Paul every week. He’s the only character that has cried…heros can cry. Please keep Paul on the show!

Comment by Miky | 04.Dec.06 @ 5:28 am
I do not think that is really necessary to get rid of some character. But if it is - not Carson!! Carson is the main reason, for me, to watch SGA!! Of course he is the best doctor from all SG doctors. His character helped me to decide what to do in future - medicine studies. He is so kind, caring and nice…To hear his scotish accent is great refreshness. And not on the last place, his dialogues with Rodney are the spice of this serie. So do not get rid of him!! He is one of the best characters in SGA. (for people all over the world - I am the example - I am from Czech republic)

Comment by Lila Bennett | 04.Dec.06 @ 8:22 am
In a show that can be so dark, it’s important to keep some of the lighter material around in order to keep it watchable. Beckett is usually the main source of humour in an episode. Sometimes, I feel I’m only watching for him. The back and forth between Beckett and any other character is a vital part of the show, I think.
In addition to being one of the only sources of happiness on the show, Beckett also helps diversify the team. Now, this may seem odd, considering all the different flags you see on their arms, but you’ll notice that he’s the only one with a non-American/Canadian accent on most missions. This, too, would be missed. He’s a constant reminder of how Atlantis is supposed to be representative of the people of Earth.
I think it’s foolish for the show to randomly boot him off for no apparent reason. There’s better ways to write new material or to introduce new characters.
-
Comment by Maxine | 04.Dec.06 @ 9:22 am
What?! Already? We barely started to know him.
What on earth did he do to deserve this? There is so much more to discover about Dr. Beckett.
He is everyone’s conscience on every mission that he goes on. He always says what I’m thinking, and I can’t say it but he can. He is our voice!!!!!
He finally gets used to going through the gate and he is terminated already?
This doesn’t make any sense. You get us to fall in love with a character and then you so cruelly take him out of our lives? Why?! Why?! Why?!
Please reconsider and keep him as a regular cast member. Please. Please. Please. -
Dr. Carson Beckett is the only reason I watch the show! He’s the only character who doesn’t annoy me on the show. No one on SG-1 annoyed me which is why it’s by far my favorite. Almost everyone on Atlantis does annoy me which is why I like it less.
Ford didn’t annoy me either, until the powers that be decided they were going to write him off the show and changed his character to become annoying before he left. Please do not ruin Dr. Beckett’s character and please do not write him off the show.
Again, he’s the only person on the show who never annoys me and the only reason I’ve kept any interest in Stargate Atlantis.

Okay, look.
I understand that they are done filming, yadda yadda, etc. I understand that they THOUGHT that getting rid of Carson Beckett would be good for the show. They were wrong. They really need to keep the core characters around, and Carson is core. And hot. Carson is core and hot. KEEP HIM. This is not a difficult concept to grasp.
While we’re on it, lets just make sure we don’t get rid of anyone else, hmm? That means, keep the characters alive that we like to watch. Rodney, John, CARSON, Elizabeth, Zelenka. Honestly. This isn’t difficult. Oh, don’t forget Teyla, Ronon, AIDEN.
Ehm. Let’s try that again.
Keep CARSON and AIDEN on the show. Don’t get rid of the team — JOHN, RODNEY, RONON, TEYLA. And, for laughs and fun, keep ZELENKA and ELIZABETH floating around. You can get rid of Sam Carter, though, if you wanted to. She belongs on SG1. Which you should keep.
But, if you are getting rid of someone, CARSON BECKETT is not the guy to go. You have just brought him into the fold, so to speak. We’ve just, finally, started getting enough of him. Barely. Really, some more Carson friendly writing would be nice. Whatever. Don’t lose him.

Comment by Yeshe | 04.Dec.06 @ 8:33 pm
First Fraser, then Ford, now Beckett. Why do the producers of this show think the only way to boost ratings is to get rid of good characters that the fans come to be attached to. So what they are going to replace Beckett with some good looking, younger actor (it seems to be a theme). People of the older generation who love the franchise like having original characters, who are not “hot young things”, and being that I live outside of north america, I must say that having a different accent on the show was refreshing.
Thanks to the people who put together this website so I can whinge (Australian for whine)…I feel much better now.

Comment by Maggie | 04.Dec.06 @ 8:44 pm
Carson Beckett is a wonderful doctor.
Now, if you kill him off, who will save everyone from injury? Not some other doctor, I hope. Everyone loves Beckett. He’s like a cuddly teddy bear.
So basically, if you get rid of Beckett, everyone on the show DIES.
Yeah. SO DON’T TAKE AWAY CARSON.

Comment by Dydo1919 | 04.Dec.06 @ 11:55 pm
This is sad very sad. getting rid of one of the best and entertaining actors on the show. if they need another women on the show why not add one. Carter is coming over in season 4 so why get rid of Carson to replace him with a female character……

Carson is one brilliant character, I don’t see the need for him to go, he brings a unique aspect to the show than the other characters. Producers, keep him!
-
Comment by Stephanie | 05.Dec.06 @ 8:13 am
Carson was the first character that I fell in love with in the pilot. The whole cast is great but Carson has always been my favorite. He’s like the father figure of the group - always watching over everyone, giving sage advice and comforting words.
They had such a lovely arc going with him - the conflict between what he could do and what he should do medically speaking.
Hopefully, Carson will pull a “Daniel Jackson” and return as a regular (one would have thought that everyone had learned from that incident). But the producers should be careful about how much they alienate the supporting cast (and the supporting cast’s loyal fan base). As much as we love them, it’s not the “John & Rodney Show” and really shouldn’t be treated as such.

Comment by Steven Borg | 05.Dec.06 @ 9:11 am
Save Him!!!! He’s Hilarious!
Him, Zelenka, Grodin and Mckay are my favs!
Even though I hope this it works, but if Paul wants to leave, this won’t stop him….
P.s. BRING BACK GRODIN AS WELL!
Start a petition for him!

Comment by Michelle | 05.Dec.06 @ 6:15 pm
First Janet Fraiser on SG-1, now Carson Beckett. Talk about messing with a good thing. SG-1 was never the same after losing Janet Fraiser and SGA will sorely feel the loss of Carson Beckett. Don’t be surprised if Sci-Fi dumps SGA too. What a disappointment.
-
Comment by grace | 06.Dec.06 @ 5:07 am
Hi, having read a few of the statments above, I see that most share my point of view. SGA is a bit disappointing overall, but the two best characters are Beckett and McKay. Their interaction brings humor to the show, which is a great aspect of SG1. This duo is the only relationship that is really devopled on the show, obviously someone saw the potential in Beckett’s character. Season Three is well underway and I, like many, have grown used to Beckett’s role in each adventure. Killing him off seems pointless and seems to suggest that SGA could be on its last legs. Keep Beckett- funny, compassionate, interacts well with all the characters, and what an accent! At the very least,dont make him come back in another role and please dont add another female character to this show-work on the existing ones! Cheers, a fan from Ireland

Comment by Jon | 06.Dec.06 @ 5:02 pm
Carson should stay!!! I love him on the show, he’s one of the best characters to be there. Between him, Rodney, and John…that’s basically the show! Leave the cast be!
-
Comment by Callie | 06.Dec.06 @ 7:23 pm
It’s been a rough break this season. First they cancel stargate SG1 and now they plan to change the cast of Atlantis. I find Atlantis to be more action less humor than SG1, but when i do get a good laugh it’s almost always Carson that does it. You can’t help but laugh at the “cheeky little bugger” lines. It would be a shame for Atlantis to loose it’s comedy relief. I think they’ve messed up stargate enough this year and need to leave things alone.
-
Comment by Chad | 06.Dec.06 @ 10:16 pm
Please don’t give me another reason to stop watching Atlantis. I fell in love with this show and as the episodes have past I realised it was Carson (and Paul McGillion’s performance) that gave me some of the most enjoyment.
His humor, humanity and heart have kept Atlantis at the top of my TV viewing lists (even when Rodney has to save the day every week, sorry not a mega Rodney fan).
Please don’t mess with a cast that works and charaters that command respect. -
Comment by Nathalie | 07.Dec.06 @ 12:39 am
I am not going to pretend to know better then the writers of the show. I guess they have a very good reason to do what they are planning to do. But wouldn’t it be enough of an impact to use the disappearance just as a cliffhanger, to make it all allright in season 4? Come on this show really needs a person who is a good counterbalance to Rodney. And that is Carson. Take him a way and the whole house of cards will tumbe down.
Please don’t let him be replaced because some think that ratings will go up if you have more young females on the show. Please don’t be so shallow! -
Comment by Miso-no-Tsuki | 07.Dec.06 @ 3:06 am
TPTB put Beckett into the show as a lead because of fan response. So… they don’t care about it now?
Beckett is the most realised and rounded character on the show and I agree with the comment that has been made that Carson is Atlantis’ heart. He’s the most likeable of all the characters, one of the few to interact with McKay on a level field and apparently the only one with morals or ethics.
Weir-who quoted the Geneva Convention at Sheppard but apparently forgot it when handing a civilian (Kavanagh) over to an alien military man with no idea what the Satedan take on “acceptable” methods might have been- has no moral compass, despite that being *her* remit.
Worse, the rumours are that Jewel Stait will replace him.(Paul McGillion) I have no problem with Ms Stait’s work on Firefly-I loved it! But casting an actress who isn’t (visually) old enough to have graduated from Med School, much less acquired the type of experience necessary to lead the Expedition’s medical services, doesn’t bode well.
For me, it has always been the ensemble cast-especially the “minor” characters such as Beckett, Zelenka and Lorne that really made the series.
I’m not sure I’ll bother watching if he goes. -
Comment by Jen | 07.Dec.06 @ 4:47 am
I can’t understand why they would take out such a lovable and funny charakter like Carson Beckett. He’s so cute and so much fun! I just don’t get it. SGA is one of my favorite shows, but if Carson leaves…
-
Comment by Lemia | 09.Dec.06 @ 1:15 am
I’m very disappointed that SGA has lost one of its flagship members. Dr. Beckett is one of my favorite characters. I keep waiting for him to get more story lines, so instead, they boot him?!! One thing that kept SG1 on the air so long was the sense of humor and sympathy between the characters. Without Beckett, SGA loses signifcant amounts of both those qualities.
Watching Mjr. Sheppard prove he’s a one man team, and Rodney have a meltdown followed by an epiphany has already gotten old. Without a variety of characters who feel real and approachable, you don’t have a link with the audience, and they’ll go watch something else, something that does have Paul McGillion in it. The writers on SGA really need to look more closely at the minor characters on the show. They give it heart and variety…otherwise it would be just another bad copy which is the death sentence of spin-offs. -
Comment by Fledge | 09.Dec.06 @ 2:45 am
It’s sad and, I think, a mistake when shows shuffle their casting lists like this. I can understand when the actors themselves really cannot carry on with a series, but surely after only 3 seasons, that cannot be the case for Paul McGillion? When a show has a winning formula and cast list, *don’t change it*! Carson is a great character. There is no good reason to lose him. Shows almost invariably change for the worse when they write out the original characters, in my experience, and the rumours say that Carson will not be the first - we can expect to see Weir disappear next. I will be writing a snail mail to show my support for the entire *current* cast list to the show’s producers; and good luck to us all from here on!

Comment by Marissa | 10.Dec.06 @ 12:27 am
Carson? Gone? Or, going? That’s not right.
There’s a reason that he’s the head of the medical staff in Atlantis: he’s the best doctor there is. Also, he’s an awesome character. He and McKay are my favourites, and, if they get rid of Beckett…
It makes me think of Dr.Polaski on ST:TNG. The replacing the doctor thing. Yuck. The show will definetly lose some of its charm. As much as I liked Jewel Staite in Serenity and Firefly… no. I’d much rather have Carson, thank you very much.
-
Comment by Katherine Price | 10.Dec.06 @ 11:03 am
I started watching Atlantis because I loved SG-1 to death. When I first heard Carson speak, heard the accent, I flipped out. There simply aren’t enough Scottish characters on TV, much less ones as good as Carson the way Paul McGillion portrays him. We can’t lose our doctor!
-
From Jewel Staite’s Blog: “And finally, lets talk about Stargate: Atlantis, because most of you are, and I’ve been getting a ton of questions about the thing, so lets just get it out in the open. I know it’s finally been revealed that Paul McGillion is leaving the show, and since I’m coming on the show, a lot of you have it in your head that I’m “replacing” him. First of all, our characters are quite different from each other. Second of all, Paul has a penis, so we’re quite opposite from each other. Third of all, I’m not a regular cast member and I’ve only signed on to do a certain number of episodes (not 15—or at least that was news to me when I heard that on the internet!). One thing I should tell you is that Paul and I are very close friends. He lives three blocks away from me (in my mom’s building– how weird and random is that?) and we see each other all the time. I can honestly say he’s one of the sweetest and most lovely people to work with (the crew of Atlantis raves about him), and I really just adore him. I can’t comment on the why in terms of his character’s absense in the next season, but the best thing about sci fi is nothing is forever! It’s like soap operas—like, maybe in Serenity 2 Wash will have an evil identical twin! (Yeah, Joss, I know, that idea sucks—and if it doesn’t suck and you actually write that one day, I want credit for it) Anyway, I’m really excited about coming on to Atlantis and playing another prodigy—genius mechanic to genius doctor, I am truly moving up in the world! Maybe next time I’ll play the president! heh heh. Just please have an open mind, and don’t hate me—it’s not my fault. I’m just an actor who jumped at the chance to work with a really fun cast in my favorite city (mine) and play a young smarty pants MD with a cool uniform. Can you blame me?”

I’m quite sure nobody hates Jewel, we know it’s not her fault, and I’ll go write it in her blog too, once I find the addy to it!!! I’m personally ready to welcome her and her character, and hope to meet her at some Stargate convention. I’m just sad that Carson is leaving!!!! If someone actually DOES hate Jewel… sorry, they’re idiots. And you can quote me.
BTW… I’m not angry with the SGA writers either. I think they’ve done a great job in the last 10 years of SG1 and 3 of Atlantis, and I have really few complaints. But they wrote the characters so well that we fell in love with them, and don’t want to see them go. I’m sure they have good reasons to make Carson leave, and I’m sure they’ll write him off well, but I’m hoping they’ll also find a way to get him back!!! And we also learned to love the actors portraying those characters, so personally - and I know I might be flamed for this, if they can’t bring Carson back as we know him, all I care is that Paul remains on cast and “in the family”!
But Jewel is VERY welcome to join the family too, and real Stargate (SG1 and Atlantis) fans should show her our love and our loyality!
-
I don’t watch any show for just one character, and if he goes, I’ll keep watching, but I will be VERY disappointed. I still miss Ford, and I would miss Carson even more. He is indeed the heart and soul of the team there. (I know nothing about the actress slated to replace him, but I think that putting a familiar scifi actor in the role is a mistake. It didn’t do very well for SG1 to throw 2 Farscape actors in the leads.)
Carson is irreplacable. I hope they will not kill him off so that there is a chance to bring the actor back. Maybe he can ascend instead. Put him up on that hologram pedestal and ask him questions…
Cheers!

I admit Paul McGillion IS the reason I watch SGA. I am very sad and disappointed that the Producers have decided to let go of an extremely talented and under utilized actor. Although I will continue to watch show (I also enjoy watching David Hewlett - Rodent King) just not with as much enthusiasm. So, Paul when are you doing MacBeth?

On http://www.SaveStargateSG1.com, one of the campaign leaders posted this:
http://savestargatesg1.com/news/?p=516in which she mentions how people could write to TPTB to ask them to get Carson in the third Stargate series, alongside Michael Shanks (who has already been asked).
I’d rather have Carson in Atlantis as a regular in season 4, of course, and will keep fighting for it, but writing an extra letter to TPTB can’t hurt me, so I’ll suggest that too if, for story-arc reasons, there’s absolutely no way to get him back. (And I don’t want to depress anyone, I’m not saying this is how things are!!)

I am in shock!!! Dumbstruck!!! How could anyone who created such a clever show as SGA be as STUPID enough to let a wonderfully sensitive actor like Paul McGillion go???!!!
I’m curious…seriously, I am… I know it wasn’t Paul’s choice to leave, so what was the reason?… Did he steal someone’s donut from the craft table?…Did he spill coffee on the director?…or the one I think his highly possible, maybe another actor got jealous of his talent???
This is a message to TPTB, bring Carson back or risk losing millions of fans!
