Haha, yeah, that's one of my favorite comics. For all we know, Kaito probably named his son after the chibi tanuki helper character in the Kensei epic.
As for Matt, it was unexpected. There's a big emphasis on this show concerning family. There are so many dysfunctional, powerful families; broken marriages; etc. on Heroes. I'm not so sure if I want EVERYONE to be related to someone else though. I'll be tsking if the DL/Micah/Monica family is directly related to the Haitian's family. It
is possible, if Gabriel Knight taught me anything about the connection between New Orleans and Haitian voodoo
Monica is a really cool character. Her power is like Gogo from Final Fantasy 6. Plus she's a strong, non-whiney, non-psycho woman character. I hope she meets Peter before Sylar.
Speaking of which, I'm glad we're finally through with the Alejandro/Maya dynamic. Throwing Sylar into the mix, I hope he gets rid of one of the characters
In other news, Claire has very low sales resistance. :/
