I confess, as detrimental as it might be for the canon relationship of Jack and Will, as a writer AND as someone who has argued that Orlando CAN act quite well, I really do look forward to Will being darker and more dangerous later on.
But to arrive at it by throwing Jack at Elizabeth? I mean, when people watch the trilogy 20 years from now, is it going to consist of "Awwww, look, there's where their LURVVVVVVE started - ewww, you mean she liked WILL first??" Yeeeesh. This is sort of why I like the slash instead - not the sap and starry-eyed stuff, but the idea of Jack and Will fitting together so well in many ways.
