Name: Bethany on Nov 23, 2006Comments: I am writing regarding the upcoming character death on Stargate: Atlantis, of Doctor Carson Beckett. Why are you killing off this character What purpose does it serve Doctor Beckett has long been a fan favourite among viewers of SGA. From day one, in fact! His popularity encouraged his addition into the main credits, and that popularity still exists. We love Doctor Beckett, so why get rid of an asset of the show Why Surely, there is another way to add wow factor to the show, without having boxed yourself into a corner with fewer options and depleted assets.. I know you think a replacement will mean you haven't lost anything, but you're wrong... I implore you to re-consider, and help your colleagues to do the same! Or, soon, I think you'll lose your fanbase's respect, and therefore, said fanbase as well... Please, give me the time of day & read on, even if I have just said something you did not want to hear!:: PLEASE, make an effort to keep Paul and his character in Stargate: Atlantis!!! You are better than this tired old idea... (of killing off someone for shock and supposedFlag

Name: Teejay on Nov 23, 2006Comments: Carson Beckett is a much needed addition to the Atlantis cast and if there is any way he can be brought back he should be. He is a great foil for McKay's sarcasm, and I think to write him out completely would be a huge mistake.Flag

Name: Victoria Louise on Dec 10, 2006Comments: I can't begin to tell you guys how disapointed I am...lately you seem to have been relying on the cheap trick of killing off a much,much,MUCH loved character in order to shock and keep us watching..only its not working. That style of writing doesn't suit stargate, never has in my opinion. Im begging you, please head our words, KEEP CARSON(!!!!!!!!!!xinfinity), and leave that style of writing where it belongs, in trashy daytime tv dramas. I've never felt this strongly about this subject before, but in all seriousness, you loose Carson and you loose me. I understand that filming for season 3 has finished, and Carson's fate is already decided, but im begging you, begging with all my heart and soul, bring him back in season 4. We don't want Carson back in 'some shape or form', we want our reliable, brilliant and awesomly cuddly Scottish Doc. back on the regular cast list. Yours, *shaking fist angrily*, Victoria DarraghFlag

I just am not sure what the Producers are thinking bringing her into the show amidst all this, and when she has only just played a Wraith... Mind you, I am sure I will come to like her contribution to the show in its own right! I was pleased to see her in Wraith makeup before, after all..! (offer the new role by all means, but youFlag

Name: Wendy Burry on Dec 21, 2006Comments: I am borrowing my friend's e mail address just to tell you how absolutely horrendous the idea of killing off Carson Beckett actually is. I don't have my own internet connection, but I had to find a way to tell you!! Did you not take any notice of how central and how integral a character Carson is in your own recent storyline (of) The Return, Season 3 Have you forgotten how endearing/with strong moral fibre/and a heart from the Highlands wonderful Carson Beckett can be Why rid yourselves and your previously loyal and happy audience of such richness of character to explore and play around with in terms of writing Why, oh why Don't make us live without Carson on our television screens!! The real world is bleak enough... He was an albeit fictional joy to behold; bringing adventure and escapism and human kindness to our screens; He was worth tuning in for, and he brought out the best in all the other characters, too! The brand of interaction between characters that he helped facilitate, cannot be recaptured or bettered or even equaled. He is that important to the central well being of the show as well as the characters (in his role as Doctor!). His signature (the essence of the character/the input of the character) is so thoroughly vital, it is engrained into the continuing success of the show/the product, (as I have read others, including my friend, say) that is Stargate Atlantis. If you want it to continue to sell well, and be a success still, REINSTATE CARSON as a main character and Paul as a main cast member!!! Yours sincerely, Wendy BurryFlag

Name: Terry Alan Heard on Dec 21, 2006Comments: It is pure INSANITY to continue in the manner that you are, ridding the Stargate Universe of much beloved characters so readily as you have been doing in recent years... Janet Frasier, Jacob Carter, and oh, let's not forget how you virtually wrote out Daniel Jackson in Season 5 because you didn't think he had much left to offer the show..! Thank God Michael Shanks was able/willing/invited as he was (when we had protested enough) to come back, and show you all otherwise..! Daniel IS intergral to SG1, as CARSON is intergral to SGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please, be merciful and wise enough to hear, and heed our pleas! You hold the future of SGA in your hands! Without Carson, with him just racked up as yet another casualty along the way, you will only be showing us fans that you are tired and struggling to be imaginative (in the best possible way!)... Keeping him around and introducing the drama/the shake up factor somehow other than over-used main character death, will help to convince us of why we should keep watching, and assure us that SGA is not (as Carson is!) in its death throws/final moments..!!!!Flag

Name: Sue Barton on Dec 22, 2006Comments: Watching Paul do his thing on Stargate Atlantis has been great - Don`t break up a briiliant team, too many times have people cancelled an actor to change the dynamic and found it did not work, Keep Paul McGillion he is well worth the effort.Flag

Name: Nicola Walker on Dec 23, 2006Comments: What was the matter with SGA with Paul in it NOTHING!!! Why get rid of Paul/Carson Beckett Why! Paul plays Carson wonderfully - Everything that is SO wonderful and ewnriching about the character being part of the show, is demonstrated in eps like The Return part 1, and the previous episode Phantoms... These are NOT the only eps in which the genius of character, actor, and writers', have shone, because of McGillion/Beckett, and the wonderful vehicle for telling stories that he is!! You don't want to lose magic like that! It's Ludicrous!!! PLEASE, reconsider, because without Paul/Carson, a HUGE chunk of the glory that is SGA will be totally wiped out, leaving many fans having to reconsider whether to watch the show at all...Flag

Name: Hannah Walker on Dec 23, 2006Comments: I am using my grandmother's e mail address to tell you I do not want Paul McGillion to leave the SGA cast. My family and I are are all fans of the show. Three generations of us: Grandmother, mother, and granddaughter (me!)... We all share in a love particularly of Carson Beckett (!) & Paul McGillion... So, if you rid yourselves of him, and we lose the joy of seeing him on our screens/his input into the show, you will lose a whole family of viewers, and we will lose something we once shared as a family..! (Our Love of SGA especially through the character of Carson Beckett!)It is wonderful to watch Paul and the writers collaborate in bringing the Scotsman/Doctor to life!! Don't rob us of this joy, and yourselves of that assett and inspiration to the show!!!....Flag

Name: Kathrin Braun on Jan 1, 2007Comments: I've never writting a a fan letter or a death thread ;) and I've never tried to keep a character in a show. Because I always had the feeling that there was a reason for it. Michael Shanks went voluntarily and he came back voluntarily, Teryl Rothery did many episodes... I did't like them going, but I understood. Now I don't. I don't get it. Why would anyone want to get rid of Carson. Really, I don't see any reason. He is popular among the fans, not only female ones but among male fans, too, because he is funny and realistic and most of all, he is special. I've never seen a character like him in any show. The chemistry between him and Rodney McKay is wonderful. I think it will affect the popularity of the show if Carson dies and doesn't come back. Carson (and his interactions with Rodney) was the one thing that drew me to the show in the first place. Please reconsider your decision and bring Paul back!Flag

I was shocked when I saw the episode, I didn't think it was actually true, I expected some "alternate reality" kind of story, but it WAS true. Carson is one of the main persons you cannot hope to replace, it just won't work. Please. Bring him back..Flag

Name: Sharon Miller on Jan 18, 2007Comments: I'm dumb-founded. I just saw the episode & I can't work out why you would kill off his character! Perhaps you could bring back an alternate reality version of Carson or have it that he ascended (perhaps too much like SG1 with Daniel).Flag

You'll definitely notice a decline in the number of people who'll continue to watch the show after this major blunder. Myself included.Flag
