And...word to the competency thing, man. Norrington's not a fool, nor is he hapless or helpless or anything like it. And it kind of makes me mad when people ignore the canon in favor of some bizarre and ingrained idea of The Authority Figure or whatnot as presented by the media. 'cause grr, dude. I'd rather have laws than not and people to uphold those laws than everyone being a criminal and it makes me mad when people are dismissive of that because of romantic nonsense about the role of the rebel and oh, there is *so* a rant on this building up.
