I still think the time travel storyline is a complete cop-out. It's too easy to use it and abuse it to fill in holes in the story.
Even last night, Farraday says you can't change the future going back in the past. Then Farraday does just that by making contact with Desmond and telling him to go to Oxford.
Also, if you can't go back and change things then why run away from the flaming arrows. If nothing can be changed (and you can't prevent the plane from crashing in the first place) then why worry about getting hit with an arrow, you'll be around in the future anyway.

I don't know that Farraday
changed anything. I think we're supposed to believe that Desmond always visited him a second time in Oxford. I think Farraday was making sure that history didn't change.
And I think you're right (to a degree) about the arrows. They didn't
need to run. But I'd be willing to bet that if someone started shooting flaming arrows at you, you'd ****ing run like hell too. Even if some scientist told you you didn't have to. It's instinct.
