Well, let's see. The Suethor has a decent vocabulary, and the wit to recognize that James deserves to get some. However... ugh. The one thing I can't get past is James falling for a pirate (ok, at least it's not Jack this time). It just astonishes me that people think that because James tacitly admits that a pirate can be a good man at the end of the movie, he thus abdicates any and all responsibility toward his position. Jack is the exception, people, not the rule. And have we not had enough of the women pirates? Especially ones who could even remotely be considered a romantic interest for clean-cut, law-abiding, upstanding ol' James? I'm sure he'd be falling for a woman branded by the East India Company. Mm hm. Yah.

The very idea makes me squicky.

[ganeris]

Oh, and another thing. Where do these Suethors get the idea that the EIC branded pirates and then LET THEM GO?

[potcsues]

Curious notion, isn't it?

I guess they weren't paying attention to the lines about Jack's miraculous escape from the East India Trading Company (i.e. the reason why he's branded but not dead). I suppose since they were Elizabeth's lines the Suethors were all too busy booing and hissing and yelling "Elizabitch!" at the screen to hear.

Oh, finally a Sue for Norrington. Poor chap doesn't deserve it... it's not that horrible of a Sue, so that's good.

I don't know if I should be happy that the hotness of Norrington is being noticed or horrified because its by a Sue (cos you know all the slashers kind of already noticed his total hotness)

She's not too horribly terrible ... she understands the basics of spelling and grammar, at the very least. Her prose does border on the purple a few times (at least in the excerpt -- I don't have the strength to read any more of it at the moment).

The main thing is, of course, the painfully obvious exposition. Concetta must feel pretty damn dialogue-reliant if she has to have Bonnie-Sue talking to herself to get the point across. I mean, we know she's Jack's sister, but it's not as though brain damage received later in life is genetic.

Am I the only one who got a weird Gollum flashback from reading Sue's exposition?

"Stupid, stupid Josephine!"
"No! I'm not stupid!"
"You only have one breast!"
"Not listening, I'm not listening..."
