OK, I have an idea about the Beast's inprisonment:
The Beast is an incarnation of pure evil from before time (did he create the universe? There's an interesting thought). Long ago a powerful civilisation rose up against him but they knew that they couldn't destroy the Beast, so instead they tried to throw him into a black hole (or maybe, they tricked him into going near a black hole, or tricked him into collapsing a sun or something), the beast is incredibly powerful, but can't resist the black hole. If he falls in time stops and he effectively 'dies'. All he can do is prevent himself falling in, and on the planet inside the event horizon it is taking all his infinite energies to hold himself back, so he is powerless. If he attempts to leave, then he will be sucked in, all he can do is resist. He does have limited influence, and can make cables snap, voices etc. To escape, he possesses Toby while leaving his physical self back on the planet resisting the black hole, and flies away. He looses all his power, but can live.
Black holes are so strong that not even light can escape. Nothing escapes a black hole. Gravity warps time. In a black hole, the time dilation is infinite, and time stops. If you fall into a black hole you see the whole of eternity flash by. That is how they overthrew the beast, they put him (or tricked him into going - more likely IMO) so close to a black hole that he can't escape. They can't push him down for good, but he can't get out either.
Does that make sense?
I really need to read the transcript once it's up
