Everything you always wanted to know about sects

Monty Python's Life of Brian

(1979)
Not altogether by coincidence, yesterday I started watching the USA network series Dig, which is set in modern-day Jerusalem but involves some sort of cosmic plot by Essenes, who were a group of Jewish political activists at the time of Brian (and Jesus), not altogether unlike the Judean People's Front.

Another connection is that, through 2 episodes anyway, Dig seems almost as silly as Brian, without even trying.
