I don't know what to say.. *picks herself from the floor* I have been in team Sparrabeth as long as I remember, but I also fancy this pairing, as friends, at least, if not even lovers. Commodor Norrington was a good, conflicted man, and grew the most during the series including Elizabeth. He really loved Lizzie and there was nothing that he wouldn't have done to save her. If you look at a deleted scene, where Governor and him hear about Elizabeth's "death", he is absolutely crushed. Why did they leave so many little scenes with them out? They really deepened their relationship. I deeply dislike the fact that some people think that just because Elizabeth chose Will, she didn't care about James at all. That's not true. She taught him so much about the acceptance and really respected him as a man. They share so much understanding. For example, partly cut out scene where Elizabeth finds James outside the tavern and says: "James Norrington...what has the world done to you?" and he replies: "Nothing I didn't deserve." always touches my heart, along with "Better insane with the rest of the world than sane alone."James knows about Elizabeth's complex feelings for Jack before she can even admit them to herself. Even though she's mad at the moment, she knows when he's lying, believes him when he says he was innocent to his father's death and is ready to forgive him and take him with them. You really captured their relationship perfectly and chose a perfect cover for this pairing (I never really liked the original). Marvelous job!
Well the script said that (in the first movie) elizabeth is supposed to be about 20 and James is supposedly 28 years old. the age difference seems more intense due to the actors’ age difference of 12 years and them not casting a younger actor for James for the flashback at the beginning of the first movie
