We're thrilled to start Season 5 with "Because You Left." We talk through the opening scenes, the Man in Black's already-apparent manipulations, Charles Widmore's brief appearance as a classic movie villain, and much more. In the interview segment, Damon Lindelof returns to The Hatch to talk about time travel.
