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.
So, they can shoot Noah, as long as he gets some of Claire's blood and heals before he dies. The eye shot makes that seem impractical, but it makes sense with what they seem to be lining up.
Why couldn't Adam's blood heal Niki's disorder? Brain's part of the body, people. It's not like crazy elves crawled into her head or something; it's a medical condition.
Besides, if Peter can "heal" his memories, we have evidence that his power extends to the brain.
I feel that replicating other powers is something Peter "does" while healing is something Adam "is". Therefore, take the blood out of Peter and it's no longer part of his power whereas Adam's blood is part of him.

Yeah, but is multiple personality disorder biochemical/neurological? I always thought it was a response to trauma? Are there meds for it, the way there are for schizophrenia?
Yes, you're absolutely correct (and no, AFAIK, no medications for it except in treatment of symptoms). It just seems to me that if Peter can "heal" brain issues like loss of memory, he should also be able to heal mental trauma.

Maybe not. Just my take on it.
