[SPOILER] Did anyone else think...


...that Jay was going to shoot through Rose's chest to kill Payne.

Seemed Payne had them cornered and any sudden movement would've killed them.

Shooting through her would've been unexpected and Payne wouldn't see the gun pointed at him.

Instead an inexperienced dying kid slowly moves his gun to shoot him.

It would make their last moments together truly Romeo & Juliet showing their love was worth the journey and that Payne was an unrelenting threat that required a huge sacrifice to defeat.

Not sure Jay's visions would play out but thought her handing her gun to Jay was sign to shoot through her.

No.

Only an idiot would think that.

She didn't love him. Never did.

I actually did

Honestly that's what I thought!
The Shakespearean ending was just there for their taking but... it didn't happen.

The thought crossed my mind, but then I reminded myself that she didn't love him enough to die for or by him. Everything else spelled it out. Notice how in his flashbacks he never once see him doing anything to imply harm toward her, but she pretends to shoot him, first with an arrow, then for no apparent reason with a gun in the very same spot where she actually later shot him. He never pretended to harm her, she pretended to kill him twice. It's a straight line.
