It's 9/22/24. The pilot aired 20 years ago today. We commemorate the occasion by talking with showrunner and executive producer Carlton Cuse about how "Lost" changed television, what he'd do differently today and the people who made the show so special.

The endgame is fast approaching. We talk about how satisfying it is to watch Jack come into his own as a leader, how moving it is to see Sideways Locke accept his offer of help, how frustrating Jacob's conception of "choice" is, and much more. And for our interview, we're back where it all began: With Jack Bender, executive producer of "Lost" and director of many episodes, including "The End."

It's no secret that this episode — where we learn about the early lives of Jacob and the Man in Black, along with their Mother — isn't a favorite among Lost fans. So we dig into what works, what doesn't and how it could've been different. Tucker Gates, who directed this episode, offers his thoughts as well.

Yes, it's the episode where Sayid redeems himself. The one where Sun and Jin meet their terrible fate. The one where Sawyer is at his best — and most tragic. We analyze it from every angle, and get some more Season 6 stories from executive producer Jean Higgins. The end is near!

We can't seem to agree whether this episode is awesome or full of unrealized potential — so let us know what you think? Either way, the finale is near. We've also got a great conversation with LOST executive producer Jean Higgins, who shares behind-the-scenes stories from the final season.

They sure do! We love Hurley's open-mindedness, generosity and capacity as a budding leader, though we disagree somewhat on his methods. We also talk about what makes the Desmond/Man in Black scenes so great. Henry Ian Cusick returns to talk about the series finale.

We dig into Desmond's sideways life, in which he works for Charles Widmore and believes he has it all — until Charlie wakes him up, of course — and how it might change the way we understand the light at the heart of the Island. And Henry Ian Cusick returns to tell us about filming some of our favorite scenes.
