Nice to know this one, b/c I'm still at a loss as to which lobtser is Murtogg and which is Mullroy. Those actors are completely obscure. No pics to be had anywhere.
Ooh, I know that one, actually! Your icon is right- Murtogg is the slightly skinnier, slightly, um, dumber one. In the scene where Will is trying to get Norrington and co. to chase after Elizabeth, when he thwocks his little hatchet-thing into the map, Norrington says something like, "Mr. Murtogg, will you remove this man!" or something along those lines (I guess I'll need to see it again to get the exact words, oh darn). And it's the skinner, dumber lobster who hops to. I think. I'm pretty sure. I'll double-check next time (heh, watch me backtrack on my "I know! I know!").
Better than John, which is what several fic writers have dubbed him (it's ok, but John makes me think Jack, and we can't have two Jacks). Thomas is nice, too, and for some reason I keep thinking of Edward.
Mmm, two Jacks... I'm sorry, what were you saying? *g* Yeah, that's my problem with calling him John also- I know it was an extremely common name and all, but still, variety is good. Edward works really well, too. Has the right ring to it. My only problem with Thomas (which I do like very much, both for Norrington and in general) is that it's my dad's name. Which isn't bad, of course- it just gives me a wee pause when I see it (which makes reading Prophecy slash... interesting).
