Oh, I realized that about her - I mean, that is what she did on the island, to get her way.
Here's the problem I have with the whole thing: It presumes that Elizabeth will do the same thing over and over and over, when I would have pegged her as smarter than that. And it presumes that Jack is so desperate to get laid that he'll be made an idiot of time and time and time again by it.
Now for the time period she's in, sex may well be the biggest gambling chip Elizabeth possesses, and I don't know that I would condemn that. But I've spent almost 3 years under the impression Jack is savvier than that, especially since he had her number, basically, in the storyline of the first movie ("peas in a pod" indeed. What the hell else would he have meant by it? He knows she's an opportunist). Why would he be dumb enough to fall for it again and again and again?
