I think theres something in our nature as viewers that we want to hate someone.
We need that villain.
Speaking after the season three finale revealed Dannys comeuppance, the showrunners defended his character arc.
But mysteriously, the season four premiere only mentions Danny enough to deepen the mystery surrounding his fate.
Just two scenes in the season four opener confront Dannys death.
The first is when Commander Danielle Poole visits Dannys wife Amber at their daughters birthday party.
The scene ends with Danielle furrowing her brow while staring at a picture of Danny in happier times.
She doesnt get into details.
