The spin-off of the long-standing military fiction series "Stargat SG-1" always had to compare with her parental show, but Stargat Atlantis did very well. Climbing a new, beloved team of researchers (the first Atlantis or AR-1 reconnaissance team for a short time), the series put its own torch on the Stargat Universe and was probably just as pleasant as its predecessor. Unfortunately, Stargate Atlantis was canceled after season 5 Due to financial reasons and planned The "Stargate Atlantis" movie that could have changed everything"Stargate: Extinction" has never become.

Even when it was still going on, "Stargat Atlantis" was not completely freed from disappointment. The first season of the show, when Dr. Carson Beckett (Paul McGillion) climbed the status of fan-favor. Popularity was not enough to protect the character, and in the season 3 Stargat Atlantis, episode 17 ("Sunday"), Beckett died when his patient's tumor exploded. Remains the sudden and frankly absurd nature of the death of the popular character One of the most controversial deaths in the history of science scienceAnd the show eventually pulled out by using the cloned version of the character late in season 4.

Rumors of death have been circulating for a while, and even has a fan movement to save Beckett. McGillon confirmed in an interview with post-season 3 with Gate In 2007 that he was also well acquainted with death in advance. He also shared his suspicion that Beckett's explosive exit is an attempt to keep Stargat: Atlantis after cancellation of the parental show:

"I think SG-1 gave up and they wanted to shake things, so to speak. Losing the desired character can do so. I think there is, and the answer, for me, was certainly very flattering. "

Despite addressing his personal theory of why Beckett was written by Stargat: Atlantis, McGillon wanted to notice who specifically accuses the situation. As he said in the interview, the actor not only knew about the exit in advance, but he was actually quite close to writer Martin Gero, who wrote his exit. As such, McGillon made a point notice that Gero was shameless:

"I think a lot of people blame the writers of such things, and I think he's just an informative ship, so to say. It's not his fault that the character has written.

Although McGillon said he missed playing the character, D -Beckett's death scene did not mark exactly the end for him. That upcoming verse, playing Beckett's clone in seasons 4 and 5, though he still had a lot more scenes to go after, watching the play shot from a string. However, even if McGillon did not have this and huge support for fans to soften the shot, he would probably watch his time on the show as a massive network positive. As he told Gejduvetnd:

"I spent three years on the show. From what started to be a repetitive character we didn't know, maybe three or four episodes, I was suddenly in 17 of the first 20 and they made me regularly. I got nothing but good things to say about those guys. They gave me a great opportunity."
