I don`t have a problem with Elizabeth for being with Bloom/Will. I understand where you got the idea but it`s inapplicable here. I have a problem with her for being a terrible Mary Sue. I don`t care for Bloom as an actor because I don`t care for actors. I`m a director/producer girl all the way so I admit to being jealous of Mrs Chris Nolan and Mrs Jerry Bruckheimer. Nobody`s perfect. :)

As for fictional characters, I admit my undying hate for Ginny Weasley (another Mary Sue, nuff said) and her pairing with Harry (he`s Luna`s dammit!). That`s as much as I could care who ends up with whom that would cloud my judgement. :)

I find Will an effective sidekick to Jack and his scenes with Bootstrap were great too. But I never bought Willabet due to complete lack of chemistry between actors and weak foundation for romance (her pirate fetish - he isn`t a pirate - they have nothing in common on any level except that they look like standard Seventeen cover girl and boy). I used to lean Sparrabeth because chemistry was terrific, they had so much in common which automatically made their foundation for romance believable. Plus, have pirate fetish? Well, here is a real pirate not PINO. However, once she offed Jack and basically forgot to ever apologize, I decided that she was the most self-absorbed, uncaring character ever and that all men were better without her and that she deserved to end up alone. Which is what happened save for her son but with Jack and BP crew gone (that was farewell, obviously), her father and Norringotn dead and Will ferrying souls, she was totally alone. I don`t recall she had any friends, so, yep, alone. Most likely had to commandeer a goat to start cheese business cause I expect that Beckett froze Weatherby`s funds leaving her with nothing. :) And since her "chariot" was a long boat, not a ship, she ended her pirate life and led quiet, unremarkable one (goat cheese!)she tried to escape. While repressing her sexuality for a decade at least. Which is also what she tried to escape (remember corset?). So the ending is quite subversive when you think of it. Either way, it isn`t what she wanted or at least is a twisted version of that.

Look, I can fully sympathize with Will because he is a sympathetic character. I think that she should have ended up a CotFD cause she wanted to sail the seas. He never did so it`s ironic that it was his fate. It isn`t a full circle or anything. So I would like him to be free. I just think that once they removed his heart, curse lifting automatially was rendered a nonsense. It just doesn`t fly that he is now alive again. Sorry, his heart is in the box, so there must be extra explanations to sell the "he`s alive again" concept to doubting Toms such as myself.:)

But, then, my approach is all Scully. I want evidence. I want script extract that shows actual dialog about curse lifting and actual deleted scene so I can believe that curse lifting isn`t a damage control due to fandom outcry but something that was really intended. But you can approach it as Mulder and just believe.
