I have been waiting for you to get up to this episode so I could have someone to go EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE at!
I have absolutely NO IDEA that Carson was going to die. None. I was watching it on the train to work and I had to stop RIGHT AS THE EXPLOSION HAPPENED! I had to wait 3 hours until my next break so I could see what happened after. I was mostly thinking "OMG, he's going to have SO many burns from that! I wonder how long his recovery is going to be... Maybe they'll just fast-forward a few weeks until he is mostly better again". The thought of him actually DYING crossed my mind a couple of times but I just dismissed it straight away. SGA wouldn't do that to me, would it?
When I finally got to see what happened after the explosion I CRIED IN THE LUNCH ROOM AT WORK! "Oh. Rodney's upset. 'Cause Carson's is injured and it's partly his fault for not going fishing. Huh. A lot of people are upset now. Who died? Not Carson. Can't be Carson. This episode is too lighthearted. They wouldn't do a funny semi-schmoopy day-in-the-life episode and then go and KILL someone, right? .... Right?" I didn't actually BELIEVE it until Elizabeth's speech at the funeral. I kept expecting it to rewind and for someone to go 'HA HA! GOTCHA! NOT DEAD AT ALLLLLLLL!'
I had some extremely SERIOUS denial issues goin' in that ep. I don't think I've ever been so SURE that someone was playing a huge joke on the fans.
Every episode since then I have been waiting for Carson to come back from the dead. IT HAS TO HAPPEN, DAMMIT! I LOVED CARSON!!!
*hands* Why do people ever apologize for commenting? That's what the comment function is THERE for! Silly love.
Awww! I wondered what it would have been like to watch it without knowing! I bet I would have reacted similarly - much more HUH?? NO WAY! I didn't have a huge emotional attachment to Carson, so it wouldn't have totally gutted me, but still. I definitely wouldn't have expected SGA to do that, especially in a nonfinale episode! Crazycakes.
