I'd assume they get paid for their work

I would have assumed that too until I found out that not a single person involved was paid for making the Office or BSG webisodes.

Well, that sucks! Still, the Office & BSG people are already on salary for the TV shows. The people drawing the comics are additional staff, right? If all they are doing is the online comics, then surely they are getting paid for it?

According to the Ron Moore interview linked a few days ago, they were paid to produce the webisodes (after refusing to produce them for free). They just weren't credited or paid residuals on them.

I thought it said they were supposed to get something for producing them, then got nothing and it was like, "Suck on it creative people!"

I could be misremembering though.

No, it's what Jess said. They weren't going to be paid. Moore threw a fit. So they were paid, but they weren't credited. And Moore said, "Fine, you can't have the webisodes." And the production company basically went into their offices and took them (which Moore said was within their rights).

Ah. This is where I got the "Suck it creatives" from.

Ron Moore:

It was all very new stuff. And it was very eye opening, because the studio's position was 'Oh, we're not going to pay anybody to do this. You have to do this, because you work on the show. And we're not going to pay you to write it. We're not going to pay the director, and we're not going to pay the actors.' At which point we said 'No thanks, we won't do it.'"

"We got in this long, protracted thing and eventually they agreed to pay everybody involved

The Office writers/actors/directors got squat, though, according to this.

So now I'm suspicious of all "new media" and wondering just how much the studios are screwing over the people creating it.

Multiple personality disorder? Psychological illness? Doubt it.

I wasn't speaking about curing Niki in this way: Niki has a crazy virus. I wonder if Claire's blood can cure her of that.

Oh. If blood of a regen cures, then you would think so. Unless the virus has been engineered to resist that somehow (maybe has its own Adam DNA incorporated. )

Adam mentions the company tried to kill him and it didn't stick...they must not have been trying very hard, since both Claire and Peter have been killed.
