Notes
Behind the scenes
- A group of fans set up a campaign at "savecarsonbeckett.com" before news of McGillion's departure was confirmed.[1] Although the episode "Sunday" was highly admired, his death caused dismay and outrage among fans and critics.[2] Maureen Ryan of the Chicago Tribune labelled the killing Beckett a "bonehead decision".[3] The producers did not anticipate the protest after the airing of the episode.[4] Between 60 to 100 fans from all over the world gathered for a peaceful protest outside The Bridge Studios in Vancouver on March 22, 2007, hiring a local pipe band.[4][5] Another protest followed at San Diego Comic-Con International on July 27, 2007.[2] McGillion returned in the cast as a reccuring actor, interpreting a cloned version of Carson Beckett in Season 4 and Season 5 of Stargate Atlantis.
- Paul McGillion, Beckett's portrayer, has already portrayed one character in Stargate SG-1: Doctor Ernest Littlefield, Catherine Langford's fiance in 1945, in the Season 1 episode "The Torment of Tantalus".
