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) ...

I'm not sure if they can come back or not, to the land of the living. I really think that green flash was just done for effect - the *finality* of knowing there's been a crossover, that Will is lost to Elizabeth for at least ten years, to induce some sniffles in the audience ... although the fact they'd already said it means coming back to the land of the living makes no sense at all. *shrug*

That's basically another thing the theory is trying to rectify; green flash is when a soul comes back from the other side. But what you say is essentially what they did, but I'm trying to apply logic of the fannish kind. Which may not actually be logic at all, hehe.
