From an interview:

(Interviewer) Alex: Ok, so I know you’ve mentioned already a couple of times, in DVD commentaries and such, Lostpedia. So we were just wondering what your relationship is with the website. Do you just know it by reputation, or do you generally have any form of interaction with it?

Damon: You know, obviously one of the questions that Carlton and I get asked very often is like

I didn’t read a confirmation from the writers but I don’t read everything they say.

highbrow, knowing you have been a contributor to Lostpedia, changes how I will view the information, in future. lol

The writers did confirm Ms. Hawking is Daniel’s mother, but I guess they could have been lying!

I’ll just have to base it, on my ‘gut’ instinct and say, she is his mother. In fact, I’d take those ‘odds’ in Vegas baby!

Dabs, like I said, I interpreted what the show told us about Dan and Hawking to mean that they are son and mother. However, the evidence from the show isn’t definitive… neither is Lostpedia. Lostpedia is written and updated by viewers like us. I’ve contributed to it. It’s not all confirmed. Speculation has made its way into plenty of articles.

I”m pretty sure the show itself hasn’t confirmed Hawking is his mother. Maybe Lostpedia has. Maybe even Darlton has. I can’t remember. I’m not saying I think she isn’t his mother, I’m just saying some of the looks given to dialogue by some of the characters are weird. Maybe it can be attributed to the director of each given episode wanting to add some mystery, when there really isn’t any. Given the next episode has Faraday in it, maybe we’ll get that confirmation tomorrow.

aye brotha, I would put your faith and your money, in Ms. Hawking being Faraday’s mother!

I did feel pretty strongly that Hawking is Faraday’s mother because of the time he told Desmond to go and find her.

Just like anything on LOST though, it may just be a way for Faraday to reference finding the woman named Eloise Hawking if that makes sense.

I also wonder why their last names are different and what significance that holds. How did Faraday come out of the Hawking/Widmore combination?

Interesting discussion – love it! Another factor that puts a shadow of doubt on Faraday/Hawking’s relationship is that Hawking isn’t actually in Oxford – she’s in LA. Although I tend to believe that she is in fact his mother.

Dabs, I like your train of thought with Dan’s struggle between Widmore and Hawking. It lends to Dan escaping his mother’s influence and trying to do his own thing, and maybe that leads to her reaction from Desmond.

highbrow, if you spent half as much on time on Lostpedia, as you do trying to confuse people around here, you would have read the following:

“Daniel Faraday is a physicist and professor who parachuted onto the Island from a helicopter sent by the freighter Kahana. He is distinguished by his polite demeanor and his scientific insight into the Island’s mysterious properties. Daniel spent his entire adult life studying space-time. He is the son of Eloise Hawking”.

But what if it is just the opposite? What if Dan is working for one party (Ben as an example) and Hawking is working for another (Widmore for example)? What if they are working against each other?
