If time travel is off the table, how do you bring them back in a way that makes sense? They can't all be Horsemen, unless Sinister is a very busy boy and just starts reanimating dead mutants left and right. They really need to establish that parallel story soon: either Sinister or Apocalypse...or something else. I can't imagine ending a season with both Gambit and Kurt dead (among others) and *maybe* Rogue siding with Magneto...ugh...I like this show a lot, but I have my limits. Rogue siding with Mags, and Gambit coming back, would add some melodrama, for sure, but if he rips out Logan's adamantium, I don't see her siding with him very long.
I would prefer it if Bastion's story ends at episode 9. As far as villains go, I don't find him all that compelling and felt absolutely nothing in regard to his origins/childhood in episode 8. I'd rather see Mags go to the dark side and have Xavier shut down his mind after Wolverine gets his adamantium ripped out. Just give us a hint of hope Gambit (and others) are coming back already!
