You Mean It Counts Now?

Someone forgot to tell the FRS that it wasn’t spring training anymore. They lost big time to the KC Royals today on opening day. I was listening to the game on the net until I stumbled onto the ESPN broadcast. Kind of wish I hadn’t. Plus the Yankees won meaning we are already a game back…

The only thing that saved the evening was my after game channel surf discovered TDPM on USA Network again. I came in almost exactly in the same spot as last night too.

Jack Sparrow: I really rather hope we were past all this.
Barbossa: Jack… Jack! Did you not notice? That be the same island we made you the governor of on our last little trip.
Jack Sparrow: I did notice.
Barbossa: Perhaps, you’ll conjure up another miraculous escape, but I doubt it. Off you go.
Jack Sparrow: The last time you left me a pistol with one shot.
Barbossa: By the powers, you’re right. Where be Jack’s pistol? Bring it forward.
Jack Sparrow: Seeing as there’s two of us, a gentleman would give us a pair of pistols.
Barbossa: It’ll be one pistol as before, and you can be the gentleman and shoot the lady; and starve to death yourself.

This time I watched it all the way to the end and when I did I noticed that they added a little bit there to perhaps explain the very end of movie #2. The original movie ends with Jack at the helm of the Black Pearl, tonight it cut back to the cave and showed the monkey (Jack) swimming past the apple Barbossa drops when he dies. It hops up on the Aztec treasure chest and picks up a piece of gold, thereby turning into a skeleton. He hisses at the camera as we fade to black. I guess we are to assume that the monkey then puts the coin in Captain Barbossa’s pocket and that is how he shows up in the end of Dead Man’s Chest. Did we need this to explain his resurrection? I was perfectly happy to believe that Tia Dalma had brought him back to “life” by using some voodoo magic.
