Sao Feng's assumption that Elizabeth was Calypso was mostly for exposition's sake, honestly. And didn't have much to do with her being attractive- he ignored her until she spoke about what a pirate's duty should be. And then he was all: "Oh, a woman with Barbossa who says bold things. Women cannot be on the seas so obviously it must be Calypso! Of course, I am brilliant!" I mean, we ALL knew Calypso was Tia Dalma, but I think the writers were trying to draw out the mystery a little more. Make it a LITTLE less obvious. They failed pretty badly, of course, but y'know. PotC ain't the smartest movie around. I'll give it brownie points for trying.

If he had just wanted to bone her, the entire endevour would have been empty and meaningless. Maybe Elizabeth could have won her Pirate Lord title with some actual FIGHTING, which I would not have objected to, but that would have made Sao Feng look like even MORE of a sleaze and given us no juicy plot information about Calypso. :P

I guess this argument just doesn't do anything for me, because I thought Calypso was really retarded. And I didn't really like the movie :(

:P I loved the movie passionately but also think it's kind of totally flawed and actually not very good in a good many ways, so I can respect that. *thumbs up*
