Killing off Carson Beckett was a “Bonehead Decision.”

~ Maureen Ryan (The Chicago Tribune - 2007)

In this episode we explore the massive fan reaction to the death of the much-loved Stargate: Atlantis character, Dr. Carson Beckett. Fans organised Bagpipes to play at Comic-Con 2007 and flew Save Carson flags both on the grounds and in many panels (including Stargate panels).
