"Peas in a pod, love" = "Bitch, I trust you as far as you can fly."

I totally second the opinion that cuts were made in order to save some face for Elizabeth. As she stands in the final cut, she's a pirate in skirts. Put the deleted scenes back in, and she's a bitch with an agenda.

latxcvi's ideas about freedom and concequences are genius. There was this feeling I had about the character that I couldn't articulate, and that's it! I smoo you both.
