I didn't believe it. It just wasn't like either Roy or Hayley -- even with the pressure of the illness and friend Jane's turn for the worse -- the fighting scene still smacked of forced, "ham-fisted" writing to drive home the issue of assisted suicide.

I think that, for each, it was a manifestation of their deepest fears. Roy is desperate to have Hayley with him for as long as possible and fears losing her before he has to. Hayley is afraid of reverting to her past, as Jane has, which means becoming Harold again.

The clairvoyant didn't need to pull out the death card. I don't know much about tarot but I do know it isn't a straightforward omen about pending death and can have many interpretations. I get the point about the clairvoyant seeing their future but it was a bit ham-fisted.

You would think these two would cherish the time left together but of course we have to have this plot driven rubbish.
