Take Tim Minear- I saw he wrote sporadically...X-Files story editor for a year..5 eps of Lois And Clark, various writing for pilots and such...it wasn't until Angel and Firefly that he worked steady for more than a year. And he's a success story. So, there's a hundred for every one like him that write one ep of a series, or write one pilot or something a year then go back to managing a video store or whatever. It's not as avaricious as you think to ask for secured royalties...I have a friend the worked as a stuntman for the last two seasons of Buffy...he's pretty successful in Hollywoodland, but if you average what he's made per year in the last 5 years, it's like, 30,000 a year (in Tinseltown that gets you a small studio apt. if you have a roommate)! The spikes and valleys are that severe.

Like I said, I can still see the job security thing, but as far as salary (if this salary is correct) then I’m not sure that I’m willing to say they are underpaid, but I will give them that their job security seems to suck.

No. I haven’t got the Heroes DVD. Since I bought all of season one on itunes, I didn’t feel the need to buy the DVD.

It' not a must-see, but just interesting how tied to conventional, real-world terrorism the original pilot was. There was torture, and Middle Eastern types talking about destroying NYC...I like the direction they took for broadcast pilot much better. And all they did was remove/alter one major character. Oh, and they added cooler FX in places.
