While discussing Nash Bridges, and star Cheech Marin, who plays Hurley's dad on Lost, Cuse revealed that another Nash Bridges star, Patrick Fischler, would be guest starring on a Season 5 episode of Lost. You may remember Fischler from Mad Men, where he recently played the role of Jimmy Barrett.

Lindelof later talked of the immense challenges of creating Lost, and keeping up the insane pace of the first season. He admitted that he was very intimidated by the "insane creative challenges" of Lost in the beginning. He remembered, while waiting to hear if the show had been picked up as a series, that he had people at the network telling him, "Yeah, the pilot is great, but there's no series there. How are you going to do this every week?" Lindelof then joked that his reply was, "I have no f**king idea! Please don't pick it up!"

Moving further into Lost's past, the recalled how the producer who greenlit the pilot episode, knew he was going to get fired soon and approved the 11.5 million dollar pilot as a "sort of final f**k you to them," according to Cuse.

The two continued to talk about more details of the humble beginnings of the show before breaking into very limited details about the future of Lost. You can read the entirety of the Q & A here.

We don't know where the Island went -- but now know when we'll be seeing it again. ABC insiders told Entertainment Weekly that the fifth season of the Emmy-nominated cypto-drama will premiere with a two-hour event on Jan. 21, 2009, at 8 p.m. That's a Wednesday, in case you don't know next year's calendar by heart, which means that Lost will be returning to its original day-of-the-week slot. (Last season, it aired on Thursday nights.)

Special thanks to Entertainment Weekly for this news.

Several months ago it was reported elsewhere on the web that J.J. Abrams had said "maybe," to the possibility of a Lost Movie after the series ends. This began an enormous amount of speculation across the web about what the implications of this could be. But thanks to Mike Sampson at Joblo.com, Damon Lindelof set the record straight, and let us know that such a move would make "every bone in my fanboy body cry foul."

Lindelof explains: "People have been so patient with the show and to basically say that we're going to end the TV show but we're going to leave some questions unanswered so that you can pay $14 and go see it in the theater?..." I asked him if this meant we'd never see the rumored movie. "You never say never but what we are saying is that when the final episode of 'Lost' airs, that will be very conclusive. There will not be a question mark of the end of the words 'THE END.'"
