I have no idea why she's my favourite character, I really don't. (And by favourite, I do mean after Hiro, because my love for Hiro is intense)
I think a lot of it is that I can understand her motivations extremely well --she is just trying to do the best she can for Micah (first) and herself (second). Good mothers make me happy.
Also, I'm a huge fan of Jekyll/Hyde stories.
...Man, this is the sort of thing that I can't keep thinking about, because I won't be able to figure out why I like her, and then I'll stop liking her so much. I do think most of it is the mom thing.
(I like Claire a lot too, especially as she DROVE A CAR INTO A WALL to get back at a rapist. WIN AND LOVE, CLAIRE, WIN AND LOVE!)
And I'm sure Nathan gets better, indeed, he's already gotten slightly less assholeish. Also, someone in casting did a exceptional job, since there was definitely at least one moment recently where I saw Peter, just in his mannerisms and eyes.
