I may be misremembering. I’m sure I read the audio for seasons 1-2 were recorded together so at least part of it has been ‘in the can’ for a while? That’s why I thought it unlikely they could do Seasons 2-3 together.
You are misremembering. Dialogue for season 2 didn't begin recording until late October 2020, as per this tweet from Jack Quaid.
But is it succeeding? Is being praised for innovative animation like Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse? Or is it just another show that’s tucked away in a streaming menu, following in the footsteps of many, many similar shows?
perhaps you mixed it up with Picard or Discovery, which are in fact filming two seasons together now. it sure is succeeding with me!
In what way? Is it like watching sneakers hanging from a wire above a road in Better Call Saul and thinking, “Look at this visual storytelling: what are they up to and who comes up with this stuff?” Or is it more like, “OK, so Star Trek is now doing what any number of cartoons that look like this have done with Star Trek in individual parody episodes or moments”? Where’s the risk, which is supposedly “part of the game if you want to sit in that chair”?
You mean like… [Mariner has beamed down to the surface of Beta III to hand out art supplies to the children, so that they won't start worshiping Landru again] Ensign Beckett Mariner : [to children] Art supplies!
