Posted: 5/22/12 at 10:41amA friend saw on a friends Facebook that this is getting a recording. Has this already been announced? Or has anyone else heard this? If so, their entire season will have been recorded.

Yeah, it's being recorded. Hilty announced it on her twitter a few weeks ago.
Originally it was going to be a live recording (like PIPE DREAM) but they decided to go into the studio instead.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
-John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Posted: 5/22/12 at 10:47amI'm just glad it's being recorded at all. It sounded fantastic.

Not only did it sound fantastic... it looked even better. Still does, actually.

So sad that the reports are that it is being recorded this week, to be released in 2013. Probably to capitalize on Megan Hilty's return to "Smash" in January. But really...
Unless they are planning on incorporating some "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" action into "Smash" next season...
