Dharma tried to make sense of it with science but could not. This is why you won't get any sciencey answers out of lost. If you were watching any other fantasies would you ask how the dragons got there, why magic worked or needed to know the the scientific intricacies of crystal balls? It's the same for Lost.

Time travel - Star Trek, Dr Who, The Time Machine (this one kinda gives it away) and Back to the Future. Sure there are more though.
Black smoke monsters - Giant worms, three legged creatures that can travel through lightning, shadows that eat you and rapidly multiplying balls of fur all fantasy descriptions of sci fi monsters.
Fate/Destiny - this is more an idea than a scenario thing though pretty much pointed out in the Time machine that you can't screw around with fate (also I believe in a ben affleck film aswell).
Immortals - Ehhhhh Q has been seen to be pretty darn immortal, so has the Master the Doctor himself will prolly turn out to be one aswell so that the beeb can continue making the show The Emperor is also pretty darn immortal oh and then there is the super soldiers from the X-Files.
Teleportaion - really? you... you're trying to claim Stargates main thing as fantasy? You be trolling here aren't you, you cruel and devious person you! ;__;
Speaking to the dead - zombie films =D what? it counts, not my fault that talking to them gets you killed.
Hmm seems to be getting awfuly sci-fi in your fantasy thar =o
