AWE DVD

[veronica_rich]

The DVD is out in some parts of the world already, and I was reading a scan of part of the box in someone's journal. (I won't say who they are just in case they don't want anyone to know, or get swamped - unless they give me explicit permission for a link.) Since this person has posted a link to their entry in a discussion community, I feel safe in now providing the direct link if you haven't yet seen it.

Two interesting things:

First question: What does the future hold for Will and Elizabeth? Now that he's captain of the Flying Dutchman, is she going to wait for him? Answer: True love never dies, but their story is yet to be told.

Second: Since Will honored his destiny on the Flying Dutchman, in 10 years does he get to return to land for good, thereby freeing his father and crew? Answer: Every 10 years, Will may step on land for one day. He is bound to the Flying Dutchman forever.

There are a few others, too. I don't know if these are on the U.S. DVD, but I'm betting they are. Be interesting to see what fandom reaction is to these (especially that second one, given the writers' insistence on the "only 10 years' service" thing) ...

WTF. The story yet to be told business is fine with me but what's this with suddenly changing the Will as captain rules. Didn't they originally and explicitly say that he was 100% FREE after ten years?

*pulls hair out in frustration*

In short, I'm choosing to ignore the answer to that second question.

I think what various parts of fandom does with them is fine for them. As I've said elsewhere, though, I've seen this movie before (pardon the pun); I know how it goes, and I really wish I were wrong about the wankity-wank likely to spill over.
