I don't see why
Spoiler:
Elizabeth couldn't join Will's crew. That way, they'd both be immortal. It must have been a decision since Elizabeth was supposed to be protecting his heart as well as leading the Pirates' Brethren Court. I also don't see the logic in Bootstrap killing Norrington other than for dramatic effect. Elizabeth forgave him as he was a mindless shell of himself, but there still wasn't enough reason for a mindless drone to come to the conclusion that Norrington had to be killed.

I'm sad that he had to die, too. But Bootstrap's mind was going-- all he could think of at that point was "Part of the ship; Part of the crew". Anyone getting caught letting others off the ship before they served their "time" would be punished. My guess-- if Norrington had already been a fish-person, getting stabbed wouldn't have killed him, and he'd be in the brig too, eventually becoming one with the ship as punishment. But that's just my guess. *shrugs*

I wonder what 'Rock Crab' tastes like.....

I think it's the price of slowly becoming a part of the ship. Granted, his brain wasn't fused to the ship just yet, but still...*shrugs*

You are right, Ruko. Bootstrap was slowly becoming a part of the ship, and, as you could see when he was talking to Elizabeth and forgot who she was about one minute after she introduced herself to him, was developing memory loss (Kinda reminded me of Alzheimer's when I first saw him repeating himself...only worse). At least he comes right in the end...

Also, in regards to a certain James Norrington...

Spoiler:
Did anyone else feel like he should have been made captain of the "Flying Dutchman"? I'll admit, I never really liked him, but I thought while I was watching the movie there was a chance of him becoming captain. It just...didn't really feel right that he died, you know? Ah well...at least Turner looks 35% more smexy with that scar of his now

Never even considered that for a moment. That would have been cool and a less upsetting ending. The problem I would see there is that I can't see how he wouldn't go back to being an enemy in all that time. They wanted to end the character as a hero. Perhaps we'll see him resurrected still.

Funny as hell. Almost everyone in the movie is backstabbing the other, with a very fun, confusing and shocking final battle.

Poor Jack, though, the trip in the Locker literally unhinged him. Seeing what his head is like when he's all alone by himself is disturbing and amusing.

Barbossa's character shine in this film, and the undead monkey rules.
