Question: How do we know if half of Mama P's prophetic future dreams weren't illusions cast by Parkman's dad, especially if the original Heroes parted ways over disagreements about how to run The Company and the world? Are her future dreams watermarked or designated with some special seal so that she knows she's actually in her own head? The loopholes astound me.
The dreams have the NBC peacock on them.
Pinehurst
"You're late!" barks Ghostface Killah Linderman. Daphne's not pleased with what happened at the bar, as she explains she's not a killer. Linderman issues some clichés like "No pain, no gain" and "Just do it" before handing her the next recruit on the list. It's Parkman. From what we saw of the African Shaman Hipster's paintings, Parkman and Daphne fall in love and have a kid together. At least they did until Peter caused Future Gabriel/Sylar to go nuclear. Linderman explains that Parkman can implant thoughts into her head and make her see things that aren't there.
Daphne is cocky to spill her thoughts to Linderman, bragging that she's so fast that no one can creep up on her, except the creepy old man in front of her. Well, he's certainly more spry than Hugh Hefner, who's lost two of his girlfriends to younger men (Criss Angel? Seriously?). Linderman steps closer to her and she sweeps the file folder through his illusion of a body. It's clearly Parkman's dad, by the way, especially since her next recruit is Parkman! The old remaining heroes have been taking sides, and now it's time for an epic battle between old and new heroes/villains. Can't you see it now? Tom Brokaw will moderate the debates as Mama Petrelli goes up against Papa Petrelli.
Ohhhh yeah, it's Parkman's father who's helping run the show at Pinehurst, as he steps out from behind a column after Daphne speeds off.
It's bad manners to put your hand through people.
We cut to a blue-lit room housing a royal-looking oak bed and dripping IVs and a breathing tube, as Maury Parkman talks to a voiceless body. He reassures the Body that he implanted visions into Nathan's head so that he believed he was talking to Linderman, and that Daphne is busy out spreading the word. God has risen, my children! God has risen! Evidently, they're building an army, Knox just called a few minutes ago and Adam Monroe will get back soon. Let the games begin, because anything Mr. Petrelli says, goes. I always knew Papa Petrelli's "suicide" in Season 1 was assisted, and now we have confirmation that he's mega-pissed he didn't sign a pre-nup when marrying the Heroes village bicycle.
I blame you, Peter Gabriel, for all of this.

I thought syphilis was the disease of late!!! Oh, Marcia-Marcia-Marcia!!!
Can't believe I'm the first comment here . . . but thanks for recap-did you really know that it was Parkman's Dad doing the ghost before it was revealed? Just goes to prove how dense I am, just taking it all in . . .
The time inconsistencies are annoying, esp in the lamo Hiro arc . . . how can you escape from someone who can time travel . . .
Also confused about good versus bad here, in the now and the future, in the company etc . . . oh well, guess I'll keep plodding along and see where this journey takes us. It's a weird world when Mama P is a good guy! Is it me!?
