*g* I would try to write a fic to work out my Elizabeth issues, but I fear I'd just end up killing her. And yeah, to the consequence thing. I just...I need for Will to know that he's so very, incredibly lucky not to be dead or thrown in jail and that people died for him and I was going to try to work in something about the court martial, but like I said when I showed it to you, Norrington and Will just went off in their own pissy little direction. So, yes. Consequences.

Norrington is a good man and it doesn't net him *anything* in the movie in the way of consideration from any of the other characters except Gov. Swann. So, yeah, Will, in a lot of ways, being a good man sometimes really *isn't* enough.

That? Is the entire reason the line made it in. Norrington knows *full well* that being a good man doesn't get you shit, and really, this just goes back to the conflicted message of the movie and how the one *consistently* good man ends up with no girl, no ship, and an escaped criminal to chase.

sigh. Oh, this movie.
