[QUOTE="satori01, post: 3557147, member: 7859"] In any case it does seem that the Captain of the Dutchman has to have something valuable left in the real world. Davey originally had Calypso, and then he had his heart. Wil has his heart both literally and figuratively on earth. Now the question becomes did Davey cut out his heart to become Captain of the Dutchman. I do not think so. The Captain of the Dutchman is a mantle one takes one, similar in effect to say the role of Death in Piers Anthony's Personification series, but however I do not think that was what was intended by Calypso. Davey was immortal, and made himself vulnerable by cutting out his heart. That also set up the mechanism by which the next Captain would be chosen. That is how I am choosing to interpret it. Overall does it really make that much of a difference? One of the other characters even asked Calypso did Davey cut out his heart before or after securing her in Human Form....the movie implies but does not directly say. [/QUOTE]
