Hmmm, you know, now that you mention it, did Norrington really do anything to be guilty of? Maybe the Dauntless incident was just an accident and James really has nothing to be guilty over. Maybe he never did anything to deserve the short end of the stick? Wouldn't that suck.
I wish we actually knew what went on with the hurricane. Actually, I had this idea for a fic I’m working on at the moment in which it’s not your average type hurricane, it was sent to eliminate him. But regardless, I think James is the kind of guy to blame himself even if it was some form of accident.
If we're going for compensating, The Stallion maybe?
Well, the New Zealand Herald review said it better than me: “The biggest Brit ship in the battle is called "Endeavour" (which, I think entitles those in this part of the world to a 50c discount for historical insult).”
Now Enterprise would have worked just a well (but where have a heard that name before…?) ;)
I agree completely on every front, particularly Norrington. I've never been able to articulate exactly why I love him so much more than every other character (except Jack), and you've done it perfectly.
It's just-- in a movie that is full to the brim with betrayl and changing sides, it seems SO unfair to have James pay for his moments of self-interest, but no one else. This is not to say that everyone ended up happily (Will as the new Davy Jones), but he was the only one who's fate had the haze of redemption over it.
Norrington was completely wasted. It's not just that he had a tiny part, but that his relationship with Elizabeth was really the only thing covered. He's such a complex character- why not show him interact with Will, Jack, other pirates. He knew Mr. Gibbs from when before he was a pirate, right?
Okay, it's very late and I'm not enturely sure that what I just wrote makes any sense, so basically: I am filled with anger, and hoping for some nice juicy Norrington deleted scenes on the DVD.
