[just a question for Greg]
Went to an A.N.T. Farm taping last friday for a season 3 episode. Season 3 is radiaclly different. They in some Silicon Valley bilionaire’s school for prodigies. (Lexi is now a math prodigy (all that shopping gave her a knack for numbers)). All the origonal sets were gone, the sound stage was more than half empty, with 4 built up rooms (a student lounge, basically a larger version of the ANT lounge from seasons 1&2, and what looke like three different dorm rooms (China and Olive are roomates, as are Fletcher and Angus) and one under contruction that I couldn’t tell what it was. They showed the first episode from the season to explain the changes. Unfortunatelyno more Paisley (gonna miss Alexandria Deberry), no more Skidmore, and no more Gibson (ggod riddance) Cameron came for a ‘visit’ this episode, so not sure if we’ll see much of him or the parents. All in all, it’s a lot of big changes.
