I'm with you on this one, and really wanted Genocide to turn out to be Deva for precisely that reason. But I do take some comfort in the fact that we're finally starting to see some serious commitment (or at least what looks like it) to the white hat supporting cast - Etta, Steve, Polly, Donna, Cassie, Phillipus, Akila, and Artemis gets a whole arc in SECRET SIX, and the only *lasting* new supporting cast she's added so far is the gorillas. Now, apart from Etta and possibly Polly, the gorillas have been getting as much play as all of the rest of those names put together, but that they're getting play at all is still more than we saw in WML, Byrne, or the Heinboot. So we're still doing above average for continuity.
