Heroes

When Heroes returns on September 21, Željko Ivanek will be returning with it. The acclaimed actor, who appeared throughout volume four as Emile Danko, "the hunter," will be returning to the series for its first episode, though from the looks of the first promotional photos released, it might not be for very long.

A few of the recently released promotional photos from the first episode don't make it look like Danko's going to be a major fixture of volume five -- or any other volumes for that matter. Instead, it looks like he's going to get a little cut up by Darth Maul's -- sorry, I mean Ray Park's -- new character Edgar, a member of the carnival and a wielder of some nasty-looking knives.

However, Danko is also seen sharing a scene with the Haitian, and he looks like he's in about the same shape as he was when he was cut up. This leaves us two clear options: either 1) the Haitian is working with Edgar and the carnival, or b) he saves Danko. I'm fine with either, though I would like to see Danko survive. A good anti-hero is hard to find, and Sylar can only last for so long.
