MGM interviews Paul McGillion

[wraithfodder]

 Fortunately, not much really in way of spoilers, so anybody can read it :) Plus, a very very pretty picture of Paul McGillion. And the hairstyle is different. He had that Beckham style (which yes, I'm way behind the times on sports folk as Beckham buzzedt hat off) and now has oh, gee, hope this doesn't get me shot, but his style reminds me of Clark Kent....

excerpt:

Of course, it’s worth mentioning that this Carson Beckett isn’t quite the same timid doctor we met in season one, and that’s not just because he’s become a little more inured to the terrors of the Pegasus galaxy. No, this Carson Beckett was cloned from the original by one of Atlantis’ arch enemies, Michael, and rediscovered in season four’s ‘The Kindred’. Still, the differences are subtle… so subtle, in fact, that McGillion laughs at the question of whether they are there at all.

The new hair does look a bit plastic, but hopefully that's just the photo angle. I always hated the stick-up hair; I thought it looked very unflattering--and it was just as bad in person. I'll be happy to see his hair look a bit more normal.

It's nice that it appears we'll be seeing a lot of Carson in the episodes he's in. Just a few weeks to go!

It has that sorta, uh, Ken doll look? Probably just the photo, or hair gel. Poor Joe. Has to share 'hair product' with Paul again ;)

"It has that sorta, uh, Ken doll look?"
LOL, that's what I was thinking. :P
Even kinda Shatner looking with the clothes and all. *L*

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Shatner?? Oh dear...

[strange-magic.livejournal.com]

What? No? Lol.

I'm retarded I know. ;)

I'm happy he's still sticking with the original Carson personality/characteristics and not bringing up he's a clone every other minute, it seems. The more people call him CLONE it makes me want to go and rip TPTB's eyes out. Let me enjoy one of the last things I have to enjoy about SGA, please! :P

Arrgh. THE HAIR. Going to take some getting used to. I DO NOT like it. I want Carson's Pointy Hair back. Save Carson Beckett's Hair :D

I've left you a message here when you get a chance to read it. :)
I didn't know any other way to contact you privately.

Tell him to give Ray Martin his hair back!
He's an Aussie journo who's hair hasn't moved in 30 years :)

Wow, you're right!

Great interview - thanks for the link!

As for the hair, apparently they dyed it to make him look a little younger - and it ended up too dark! Paul washed his hair several times from what I've heard (Yep, Joe M's blog again) and it's still too black!

Poor Paul.

I'm guessing it'll get better as the episodes progress...unless they dye it again! I truly hope they don't - or at least get it right this time!!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Yeah, too bad they didn't try a temporary dye first. It's very difficult to wash out permanent hair dye. You gotta have the hair dresser strip it, as far as I know.

Thanks for the link to the awesome Paul interview! I'm so glad he's back for several episodes in Season 5. I've missed him!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Yup, not the same without Beckett.
