Gimme That Star Trek is back for a new season! A few weeks ago, Siskoid went to see a science fiction play from Satellite Théatre called Bouée (“Buoy”), which leans hard into Star Trek concepts. On this episode, he sits down with its writer Céleste Godin, and two of its actors, Ludger Beaulieu and Philip-André Collette, to talk about how the franchise inspired the play’s philosophy, text and performances.
