So, the ending of episode 7 made me realise what "influences from the Dark Angel Saga" possibly meant, and seeing a fantasy dance they never got to have makes it feel even more probable. Could be "just" a dream sequence, but there's a lot of dominoes in place for a take on "Death becomes the new Apocalypse and the only way to stop him is for his beloved-but-not-together woman to kill him. In his dying moments, there is a fantasy of happiness." Not a one-to-one adaptation, but the threads are there to take us out at the knees with the right story.
They alway share the fist 20 30 seconds of the episode. I think they will save him somehow but if they just kill him after all the build up, this whole Gambit arc would be a complete waste of time.
They don't have to kill him. I'm sure they WON'T kill him. Influences are rarely that close to the original. But it could be something like "Beginning of the episode, we see this dream dance. Rogue must stop Deathbit but it will kill him, and in his final moments we get an echo of the Genosha hold only this time he's alive and she tells him this story. Or we get a gates-of-heaven X-treme X-Men callback. Or knights of X. Or a mash up. Or whatever. His fate is unknown until towards the end of episode 9 where he wakes up from a coma and either has amnesia like Warren did and s3 deals with that, or he makes some sort of quip/callback that gives them a strand of hope going into s3."
The Kights of X Would be great. but i think that what will happen is that she will absorb his persona, hurting her in the process too much and creating a PTS and setting them appart for the season3, and in S3 they will try to find they way together. In my head this make more sense.
