Oh I LOVED that show. Seth McFarlane (as all of you know, an outspoken atheist) is using his show to point out the evils of belief without sufficient evidence, and with theocratic societies. (Actually, it looks like they might be taking the original Star Trek episodes and re-writing some of them. This one was very much like "For the World is Hollow and I have Touched the Sky". The Enterprise finds an asteroid that contains a generational ship on a collision course with an inhabited planet. The people within are also inslaved by a punitive theocracy.
This episode's title comes from a quote in the show, by a native who strayed out of bounds and found that the SKY was a painted wall: "But things are not as they teach us. For the world is hollow, and I have touched the sky." This was on of my favorite quotes after realizing that I could no longer believe in xtian teachings.
