I've got a jar of dirt!

If possible, I love Captain Jack Sparrow *even more* than I did before.

It's almost as if the writers, the director, all the actors and producers, all got together and asked themselves "What kind of sequel would really make hafital a happy happy, blithering mass of incoherent goo?" And then, went ahead and made it so.

Oh, I would never say Norrington is condemned, even if he did know Beckett before hand and knew what kind of man he was! (and I'm right there with you on the unlikelyness of them knowing each other aside from reputation) That's not even remotely what I'm saying, and I should be clearer.

I think Norrington might have a clue that Beckett is not up to any good -- Norrington is smart and I wouldn't dispense with the possiblity that he knows much more of what's going on then it would seem, even while drunk. That's a trait he shares with Jack, and he learns faster than either Elizabeth or Will. So, if I believe that about Norrington, then I can't believe he's entirely blind to what he's doing when he hands over the heart to Beckett, and that's what I mean when I say I have faith that Norrington knows what he's about.

I don't think that condems him, at all. Anymore then I think Jack agreeing to sign over 100 souls to Davy Jones condemns *him* or Elizabeth manacling Jack to the Pearl condemns her.

I am fully aware that I could be totally wrong about this and only the AWE will tell. :) I think, for myself, I would prefer Norrington know and be aware Beckett is evil (or at least not entirely trustworthy) and have some sort of sketchy plan of action to get the heart back from Beckett (and even keep it for himself) rather then realize afterwards just what a mistake it was to give Beckett that heart. That would be one more mistake on his head.

But this is all speculation and I said I wouldn't commit myself to anyone way of thinking, and I have yet to see the movie a second time, too, and so might completely change my mind afterwards. I really have no clue what TPTB have in store.
