Lost Thoughts

In response to Aaron over on the sidebar there: I didn't read the IGN article, but I was talking to someone (Bob maybe?) about Faraday's father.

Personally, the evidence we have right now, my guess is that Widmore is definitely his Dad.

My biggest argument for this is the girl who Faraday messed up with time travel who is now laying partially comatose. Widmore is paying for all of her medical treatments after Faraday screwed her up.

We're led to believe that he's paying for her medical care because he was trying to get Faraday's research (presumably to get back to the Island) but there may be the double meaning of Daddy taking care of his sons' mistakes.

Yeah yeah, we all know Widdy wants to find the Island but he's also shown that he cares about his Childrens well-being (albeit a bit misguided sometimes).

Plus it's only right to assume that Daniel has a Dad, and whoever that Dad is had some form of relationship to Hawking, who we're all pretty sure was on the Island.

The only other thing I can think of is that Daniel is his own father, and he banged the hell out of his mom, Oedipus in Time =)
