Waffles? I'm not following you here?

And you gotta explain the curse to me coz i'm not sure i understood it right.
I didn't see the sequence after the credits so i'm not sure if Will will have to captain the boat his whole life or just ten years.
And if it's just ten years then what"s with his heart in the chest??

I'm pretty sure the waffles thing is a reference to a quote from one of the screenwriters on the subject of J/E and W/E in DMC. He was clarifying that the compass points to what you want at that moment and that it doesn't play games or make analogies or symbologies. If it points to a waffle then it doesn't mean you secretly want to be Belgium. It means you want that waffle. The question being, as he put it, if you were really, really, really hungry and had been gearing up for quite some time for the most delicious meal you've ever had in your life and then suddenly you were unable to have said meal and were subsequently presented with a particularly interesting waffle, you might want the waffle. But does that make you a bad person.

So, in short:

Waffle = Jack
Most Delicious Meal etc. = Will
Elizabeth in DMC = Really Hungry

re: the curse

I collected a bunch of data on it here if you're really curious and also confused. Which, yeah, thanks editors.

Yup! That's what the waffles was referring to. Hee! I still laugh thinking about that explaination.

Thanks for explaining it for me. I really think I'm gonna just pimp out your curse-explaination post because reading it was the only way that I really understood what they were going for. Those editors deserve to be shot.

[livejournal.com profile] rawles explained it pretty well. Basically, the writers tried to explain to the fans that Jack=waffles. And that the compass pointing at him didn't mean that Elizabeth loved him or anything but just that he was hot and available and that she wanted sexin' reallll bad.

It's still one of the most ridicous explainations ever. Hee!!

Honestly, I still don't understand the heart in the chest bit, but apparently from what the writers said, it was susposed to be just ten years.
