I am the producer of hit* fan audio drama Starship Excelsior and this is pretty much how we record every episode: actors do their lines in isolation, email them to us, and we stitch them together into scenes.

*sigh* No, I try very hard to forget Chakotay’s baby.

Well... TNG and ENT did this. But the others did not.

“a pretty, messy piece of nonsense with some decent performances and occasionally unexpected story twists... The deaths existed solely to create an illusion of plot momentum in a serialized story that, so far at least, has no goddamn point at all...
