Yeaaaah, that's what we were wondering, if that is what Carson is doing. Why weren't they more specific about it, if so? Strange to leave it so vague, unless when JM wrote the ep he wasn't sure what they were going to do with Carson next, so left it open? (Though if Carson's still in Pegasus, you'd think they could call on him whenever they need his science skills, which is unfair to Keller, since "Kindred 2" and "The Seed" pretty much established that Carson does it better...)

The six months I liked - you figure it would've taken Sheppard a month to recover from getting re-stabbed in "The Seed", and "The Shrine" covered close to a month in itself...the season's been busy enough, I can see it being this long.
