Time travel in Lost...it's paradoxical
The Lost writers/producers said there are "no paradoxes" within Lost time travel.
They're a bunch of filthy liars, because the Wikipedia article on the Predestination paradox describes Lost time travel exactly.

2/3/2010 Update:
And now, they acknowledge there are paradoxes in an EW interview:
"The idea of continuing to do paradoxical storytelling is not what we’re interested in this year."
Flip-floppers.
Desmond is Jesus
Like Neo in the Matrix, Desmond is Jesus.
1. He looks like Jesus.
2. He seems to be approximately 33.
3. He has accurately prophesied about the future.
4. He was a monk whose monastery produced wine.
5. Faraday describes him as the only one who can "save" them, and that he is "miraculously special".
