[QUOTE="coyote6, post: 4729125, member: 1225"] Danko turned his back on HRG to look out the window. HRG could have capped him really easily. Danko has Plot Immunity, so it was HRG's turn (again) to carry the Idiot Ball. Yes, Peter isn't a killer; nor is Hiro, Ando, or several others. HRG is, though; Angela is; the Haitian doesn't seem terribly concerned about the lives of folks trying to kill him. There are plenty of people who are qualified to gank Danko. And Danko's indicated most of the folks on the project are "his people", so if he's gone, morale goes in the tank and they're a lot less capable (especially given the number of goons Tracy took out). And it leaves a clear path for Nathan/HRG/Angela to take over the program completely, and do something less un-American and murderous with it. Oh, and they don't make it freaking obvious that a powered person killed Danko. Disappear his ass, and let people wonder. Drop his corpse off in Angola (or wherever it was he committed the atrocities Angela alluded to), and make everyone wonder if someone there didn't have him offed. Provide reasonable doubt about his death; not that many people know about powers, after all. The last episode had some good moments, but there was too much Idiot Ball bouncing around still for me to feel like it's good again. At least I didn't remo Good stuff, IMO: Hiro getting his powers back (though they gave him time stop back? I'd think teleport would've been less plot-breaking; half the show's problem is that they've given their characters powers that ought to let them handle situations easily, so then they make the characters stupid to compensate). Daphne dying -- sad, but probably good for the show (there are too many characters, and not enough time for character development & not enough plot to go around).
