I don't think he ascended. Rodney hesitated when he said 'body' because Carson was his best friend, and it hurt him to say it. The end sequence was a good-bye, probably nothing more. |

They started airing the second half of season 3 before Christmas then took a few weeks off and are now finishing the season with new episodes every Monday. At this rate we're set to see the Atlantis Season 3 finale on Monday February 5th. TMN (Eastern Canada) according to their website will air the 12th episode of season 3 "Echoes" on Saturday January 20th. And then be airing the new episodes into February and March. Yay for Canada being first. The second half of season 3 has had some really good episodes. |

QUOTE(Revan @ Jan 17th 2007, 10:22 PM) I think the same level of genetic diversity would exist... giving different abilities to different people... kinda like skin tone and eye color... ya know? I didn't think of that. If the characteristics are genetic, then they would be passed down like you said. That makes good sense. QUOTE(thehighcommander @ Jan 18th 2007, 2:04 AM) how can you have a goodbye with a dead person unless he is ascended? (keeping in mind the show doesnt deal with angels/religious explanations) It's for the sense of closure at the end of the show. Lots of shows do similar things when they kill off a character. In this case, Rod felt like he was responsible for Carson's death. At the end, he was resolving these emotions in his own mind. At the same time the writers were giving Carson his last bit of screen time, and allowing him to say goodbye to the fans. EDIT: That was my 1000th post? I shoulda said something more profound. Just remember my motto: It's always (and I mean ALWAYS) ok to eat chillicheese fries no matter the hour. This post has been edited by JTMAG1: Jan 18th 2007, 2:26 AM |

(keeping in mind the show doesnt deal with angels/religious explanations) We saw with our own eyes that they sent the body back to Earth... Now, how could he have ascended when that was done? No, the end sequence is just what the fans wanted, like JTMAG1 said right after you, and what I said a few posts back, a closure, a chance for Carson to say good bye to one of his great friends, to the show, and to the fans. McKay saw that all in his mind... It was rather well done.  And to end this with a question, if you think Carson ascended, let me ask you who would have helped him do that?

Ummm, unfortunately, I have no idea what chillicheese fries are, so I guess I can't understand your motto.  |

It's too bad that Carson had to die
He was a great character. I really liked how he wouldn't give up on that guy even if it ment blowing up with him. Poor Rodney now has to live with the guilt that things might have been different if only he went fishing with him. The good-bye in the end was nice. Lorne PAINTING !?!?! That was soooooo funny |

I will not rest until I know why they killed him off... The best way to figure this out would be to find out what is going on with Paul. If you know what the actor is doing, you can figure out what the character is doing...

so are you saying that rodney who got the gene manipulation in tao suddenly manage to be able to heal although he doesn;t have the ancient gene like oneal or shepard.
that doesn;t make sense at all... although its possible that some of the ancients are not able to heal, i would guess that a vast majority could, somewhat like a ability that can be learned.. after all. its not genes that give them the ability but the increase usage of ones brain higher functions also there may not be a body, as it could be annihilated by the blast, the casket is somewhat symbolic i think. it leaves teh door open for an ascended carson.. imagine an ascended carson coming down to atlantis and is fishing at the docks |

It's never been said that it is what gives the ancients their powers. And, Rodney took the gene therapy... |

I think he ascended because he is a pure person and I think they had that scene with Rodney to leave the option open.

Maybe, but he would not have been able to ascend without the help of other ascended beings... they had no reason to ascend him... and it would be kinda dumb if they had, because it already happened to Daniel. |

Damn you Gero, You better hope I never see you in person.  Such a sweet ending though, had me at a tear. Just shows you, love your friends like no other can, you never know when they can just go. |

That's the thing that bugs me, he didn't have to die, it was almost written just to make him die. I thought the episode was OK, but am kinda cheesed off about him dying like that. They might as well of had him stub his toe, get's a subdermal cyst and die from blood poisoning. |

I think it was due to the fact that the episode was written worse than a fan fic. And I knew he was dying ahead of time. And how many times can we have an episode with "8 hours earlier" in it?
