Re: Bad father, good father, bad mother

One more thing about "bad mothers" in Heroes: as Wikipedia reminds me, Meredith tells Claire that Nathan is giving them $50,000, with Claire entitled to half; however, Meredith actually made a deal with Nathan for $100,000. Also, there's the matter of Meredith setting her house on fire when Noah and Claude came for her, with Meredith leaving baby Claire to burn despite not even knowing Claire could regenerate. All of that is clearly meant to make Mr. Bennet look better in season 1, like the "good father." sam_storyteller wrote a story in which the Haitian (and do I ever hate that the show's Magical Negro remains unnamed) erases all Meredith's memories of Claire on the basis that Meredith didn't deserve to be a mother. I really dislike the implicit misogyny of both the show's treatment of Meredith (and its other mothers) and many fans' attitudes regarding the same.
