A pastor, a vicar, a Trekkie, and a Star Wars fan walk into a recording session...
That’s the set-up for this series, which explores the intersection of religion and science fiction. The hosts — Pastor Dave, Vicar Keith, Dan, and Drew — discuss a particular theological topic as it morphs through the sci-fi realm. Well, Pastor Dave tries to keep everyone focused on one particular topic. He really tries. Their mothers should have warned him.
In this episode, the crew delves into the Seven Kingdoms; theorizing why the book series still hasn't been completed and comparing and contrasting the series to Tolkien's classic, The Lord of the Rings.
PLUS: the crew discusses the best seasons of television.
