His shooting his good side is in the 36 page script. There are also some scenes floating around that are from a more recent revision.As far as I know his shooting his good side doesn't mean that its lost for ever. Its more of a symbol and meant to express Jack's emotional state. And yes, for a while he does go back to a more selfish nature. That doesn't mean its gone for good or that he turns evil. Think Jack in terms of the Jack we knew from COTBP. Eventually, he comes to his senses and tries to make ammends for his betrayals.
As far as the crustation goes, I would imagine that its another symbol and more than likely not actually Jack. I'm thinking either another person's hallucination. Maybe Jones threatens Jack with showing him his fate aboard the Dutchman.
There was a picture floating around earlier where Bootstrap is talking to Elizabeth after she's captured from the Empress. They appear to have a conversation, and as Bootstrap was Jack's first mate aboard the Wicked Wench back when Jack was only a merchant sailor, I would imagine that perhaps, he explains Jack's past to her.
So maybe it's a symbol for her to see what it was that led Jack to making the deal with Davy so many years ago.
Im not going to argue, but I have never seen TnT use flashbacks or such like to look in the future as scenes. They use a lot of foreshadowing and symbols.
Something aweful happened in Purgatory.
Sort of. Purgatory is more of a place of exile. You haven't done enough to go to hell, but you're not good enough to get into heaven. Pugatory is more of a punishment really and usually involves you doing some sort of task day to day in which you'll never succeed i.e. picking up grains of sand with tweezers and moving them over to another pile. IN this instance, Jack's purgatory is that the Pearl is landlocked and that no matter how he tries, he cannot move it.

It's possible. There were rumors going around that there was more to purgatory than what was in the script, but those were never confirmed or denied. I'm not saying you're wrong Chiki, not by any means. You may in fact be right. There's no right or wrong when it comes to intrepreting what we see unless we have concrete evidence from the script. We only have relatively educated guesses about what goes on, and how things fit together.
Yeah, it's not the traditional Catholic view of Purgatory imo. It's the locker, so it's more painful than regular Purgatory, which would be more about working off your sins if I have that right. (If anyone here is Catholic, please correct me. I'm a Protestant.) The Locker is Purgatory-like, so Davy could probably plant a million different nightmares in Jack's mind and probably convince him it was all the times he tried to be a nice guy that did him in.
What do you guys honestly think his biggest fear would be? I mean the only things I can guess is getting eaten by the kraken again and again my bro says if he really loves Elizabeth then it will be something like she is getting hurt and he can't help, I could see it as him getting branded again because doesnt he like freedom? so A pirate is perfectly free until he is branded then he can't plead guilty EVER so back to question one what do yall think his biggest fear would be?
It's a toss-up for me. Jack's biggest underlying fear is actually commitment. He views the conventional life (marriage, career, law-abiding citizen) as constraining so he breaks away from it. Anything that makes him compromise his time and/or efforts isn't worth it to him. His fear of death can be roped into that because death would pretty much get in the way of his freedom.
But then there's Liz. Sigh. Maybe it's just the J/E in me, but I really do think she scares him. I can see him having nightmares in the Locker of her being tortured or something, seeing her suffering. They probably won't show anything like that but I bet he's thinking of her a lot.
