No, they have not.
UGO: When was the decision to use time travel in the story made?
DAMON: It's been in the DNA of the show since the very beginning.
Obviously, one thing the flash backs and the flash forwards provide
you with is the idea of time travel. You're bouncing around in time
and events from the past are seemingly influencing the present, but
it's not a traditional time travel story until we started talking
about what the hatch was there for, and what this electromagnetic
energy that the hatch is trying to contain is and what would be the
effect of that hatch going away, otherwise known as the purple sky
event. And it was sort of those conversations which obviously
happened
way back in season one when Locke and Boone found the hatch that were
the early precursors of time travel. I will say, though, that the
first significant event in the show where we were thinking in the
back
of our minds that this is going to require a story telling element
that isn't traditional narrative, is the discovery of Adam and Eve in
the caves.

Carlton (reading a fan question to Damon): "How does a polar bear with
a Dharma collar get in the middle of the desert?"
Damon (after some silly meandering): "There are properties of the
island that are potentially capable of shall we say trans****ting
things from the island off the island."
Carlton: "It might be helpful actually for those viewers who are
interested in this question to go online and find the training film
for the Orchid Station."
Damon: "Yeah, that would be a very good place to start."
Carlton: "Rarely do we actually have things that aren't in the show
that are im****tant to the show, but in this case it is im****tant. Yet
if you don't see the Orchid trailer, when we get to it later in the
show..."
Damon: "But it's good to say that if you're curious about how a polar
bear with a Dharma collar ends up in Tunisia, watch that film because
that polar bear has certain things in common with say, bunnies with
eights on their backs."
Carlton: "That's right."
