Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Killer dolphins on the loose
So much for "So long. Thanks for all the fish!"
And we haven't even started genetically modifying them yet. I smell a Sci Fi TV movie.
They screwed up the first cyborg-dolphin-junkie by trying to film Johnny Mnemonic. The short story is much, much better. And even details how the Navy "trains" them--just give them heroine and they'll do anything you want.

I think there is a similar program in place for TV execs, actually.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Drama stars Colin Ferguson ("Coupling""Coupling") as a federal marshal who gets stranded in the small northwestern town of Eureka. He quickly discovers the town is composed of oddball geniuses assembled by the government to conduct top-secret research -- a clustering that may inadvertently put their lives at risk.
Huh. I missed all the oddball geniuses when I spent the night in Eureka. I did talk to a bartender, who told me about all the economic problems the city has had since the mine shut down.
This is Eureka, NV, right?
eta: What is "Northwestern"?

Oh.
I started to suspect it was not NV when I noticed the "northwestern."
I was thinking that NV would be more fun, but maybe the desert weirdness has been done before, with Roswell....

You know what I'm over?
I'm over sites with ads that won't properly load which makes the site content not load either. It's stupid.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
The Register seems to think the killer dolphin thing is a hoax.

It does sound like a plot that Sci Fi would think twice about. Which is why I want it to be true!
