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.
