Duh! They go faster than light by not actually going faster than light (yay, paradoxes!).

Okay, to be serious, a lot are explained as either cutting a hole in space (ala the Einsten-Rosen Bridge, or wormhole), or travelling through time as well as space (when you relize that time slows the closer to C you get). Then there's the occasional "hyper"-space (the ship moves to a different plane, where physics become less effective), folding space (the tesseract, making one place directly next to the other), or warping space (by making the space in front of you smaller so while going the same speed, the distance traveled is less). That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

This is turning into an interesting physics discussion.
