Sunday Circle: Limn

[esteefee]

Hello fine peeps! And welcome to Sunday Circle. This week's discussion is centered around the limn prompt, but really, talk amongst yourselves, because this should be loose and free and we'll let the discussion go where it takes us. Hopefully it will give writers, artists, poets, etc. ideas for the prompt, but also, it will just give us all sheer *glee*. \o/

That's right! He's a fishing whore! :)))

Carson is lonely? He's obviously a workaholic, from what Cole implied. This was his first day off in forever. He wanted to spend time with *someone*, is the impression I got. But instead of altering his fishing plan to just join in on someone else's plans (e.g., the true sport of Scottish kings, golf, ;) he was hell-bent on fishing with someone.

It's actually pretty revealing about his character. He's O/C. Which you sort of have to be to be a geneticist and bio-engineer, I think.

Oh, also something revealed in this ep: he was Chief of Surgery. I've seen it mentioned in fics that he *wasn't* a trauma surgeon or even a good surgeon, but he must be a pretty damned good one to be made Chief of Surgery, which is the point he makes to the other doc. (I have to look up her character name.)

Cripplingly lonely, but still too cool to spend time with the true outcast and not flexible enough to compromise by joining anyone else's activity. :/ *cough* I might have some issues with Carson.

I've seen it mentioned in fics that he *wasn't* a trauma surgeon or even a good surgeon,

I think that's a piece of fanon that has completely passed me by. I guess that would explain why, when Keller needed surgery, they called him in (it still doesn't explain why they haven't more than one competent surgeon at a time on Atlantis, but what can you do).
