The Star Wars movies are back and Star Trek is celebrating 50 years! In commemoration, the panel has broken form for a discussion of these two Science Fiction franchises, including the theory that both occupy the same universe. Eschewing debates about "the biggest space ship" and "can the Enterprise take a hit from the Death Star" this episode concentrates on storytelling, themes and the reason both universes are so beloved. Whether dealing with the nature of humanity, the realities of sexual relations, or the strange politics the criticisms remain unsparing. In short, the debate receives the same treatment as any topic.

In this second part of our series on Satan, discover how Satan evolved from the simple angelic Adversary of Judaism into the Christian model of ultimate Evil. Explore how our iconic image of the Devil (complete with cloven hooves and horns) was stolen by the early church from a far more ancient Greek god in order to flesh out the Devil. Discover the heated politics that occurred between the early church and pagan philosophers that became influential in shaping the Western image of the Lord of Hell: Lucifer.
