“Thank goodness, Jack. The armada’s still out there. The Endeavour’s coming up hard to starboard, and I think it’s time we embrace that oldest and noblest of pirate traditions.”

Oh wonderful. It's so hard to tell what Jack is thinking in this moment, but you've done a great job of getting into his head.

That was a great moment in AWE, and very well drabbled here.

It is indeed interesting to speculate on what was going thru Jack's mind just then.

What I loved about this moment was it had the same feel of anticipation as was present at the end of CotBP. And then, as here, our three heros joined together to fight a common enemy.

Thank you. I think we each bring our own flavor to the mix, and what is enjoyable is that the different interpretations can trigger ideas and new ways of looking at things.
