If Parkman has to wait for a verbalized (or even non-) conscious thought to pick anything up, it might be possible to block him by zoning out and thinking about nothing. Of course, if someone weren't disciplined about that sort of thing I could easily see it leading to a Jeff on Coupling-type situation. "Don't think about the Melty Mandrug deal!"
Time for some thrilling heroics.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
HRG foiled him by thinking in Japanese. That seems to imply that it's the conscious thought that Matt picks up on. It's possible that he just hadn't developed his ability enough to delve deeper but they haven't indicated that as a possibility.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I think that's an interesting aspect and one I hope we explore this season...discovering and working with the powers' limitations.

I think that Mama P's powers are something mental. I don't think she's a mind reader, necessarily, but there's definitely something brain-ookey going on.
Loved Peter in this ep. Loved Mr. Muggles. Did NOT love Claire cutting off her toe. ACK!
Also, I really loved the reunion between Mr. B. and the Haitian (who really does need a name).

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Yeah ... I rarely ever flinch at the TV, and that ... that got me.
On the other hand, a whole generation of teenage cutters shouted out, "At last! A show that understands me!" Sigh. Kids and their self-mutilation these days.

Actually I'm glad that the "Godsend" survived. Because otherwise Hiro would be his own Grandpa (OK many times removed), and I don't ever want to hear anyone play that song again.

3M = Molly and her two Daddies?
Yep. Molly, Matt, Mo. It's just too precious.
Damn show. Making me like Parkman when I spent a perfectly good season not hardly caring.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I loved Mohinder speaking French!
Except he had such an American accent, it totally threw me.
Gee, THANKS, Professor Buzkill...

Did NOT love Claire cutting off her toe. ACK!
Is it wrong that I thought how funny it would be if it healed but didn't grow back? Also, I fear Mr. Muggles may find the pinkie toe before Claire remembers it.

Gee, THANKS, Professor Buzkill...
I'm just saying... it got me wondering... Does the actor not really have an Indian/English accent? Did they dub him?
Still hot though.
