I am – Hercules!!
Tim Kring, who created “Heroes,” and Damon Lindelof, who co-created “Lost,” used to work together on NBC’s medical-examiner drama “Crossing Jordan.” As “Heroes” and “Lost” both approach their season finales this week, WizardUniverse.com had the idea of interviewing the two old colleagues together. An excerpt:

LINDELOF: That experience [of working with Kring] ended with me coming to Tim and saying, “I got a call from ABC [and J.J. Abrams].” I’d been an “Alias” fan for a while. Jealously, we watched “Alias” get all of the press while we were slogging away. KRING: We got the numbers. LINDELOF: Yeah, we got the ratings, and they got the Rolling Stone covers. So I basically went and had this meeting with J.J., then I went to Tim, and I said, “Is it okay if I go off and write this pilot with him?” That was under the proviso that they were never going to make it in a million years. “It’s the craziest, most excessive idea. It’s about a plane that crashes on an island. We’re just going to have a lot of fun and write a crazy pilot.” Tim said, “Go with God.” He let me out of my contract, which I had a year left on, to go write this pilot with J.J.—and then, lo and behold, people liked it.
