Okay, *finally* caught up with this thread. Which answered a few questions, but I've got two left:
I'm looking at the photo of the 12 on the Wiki and it's obviously very badly photoshopped. Was this how it appeared in the show, and shall I now go into a frenzy of speculation as to where it's from, who did it, and why? Please, good folks, save me from myself.
And if Nana Dawson's house is evidence of her 'poverty'...well, damn, I'll take it. (Okay, less a question than a statement but...I didn't get the sense that DL's family was what I would consider poor before Katrina, only that they were now suffering from the same lack of investment in rebuilding as anyone else who was trying to scrape up a living in New Orleans.)
Poor people on TV are rarely like actual poor people... nor are middle class people. Rich people are like wildly rich people.

I would agree. I mean, the kids' big issue was not having $65 for WWE on pay per view? Not exactly desperate times.
True, but Monica gave up on (college? don't remember) to stay home and work two shifts at the local burger joint. That seems like poor to me.
flea - you are right about the photoshopping. The picture looked bad even on TV. I couldn't tell if it was an actor availability issue or intentional. I guess we will find out. (Although Nathan's comment about his mom hugging Kaito a bit too long made me think that those two were likely really standing next to each other.)
I thought the picture on the web was photoshopped because they couldn't get a clean screen cap of the whole thing - got bits and pieces from different ones and then assembled them to be as clear as possible.
And Syler squicks me too.
WTF is this week's comic about?
chuffa chuffa
All I could think is that it was the story as remembered now w/o the knowledge that we have of what actually happened.
When did Hiro become... wtf is he?
I mean, I appreciate that things are happening while we're in Mexico with the Wonder Twins and whatever but... Maybe I need to read more japanese comix.
I don't know - some sort of mythical or legendary animal sidekick.
Laga and sumi are confusing me. Hiro is now an animal sidekick in the comics?
