Even if you are the smartest human on the planet but don't have the ability to communicate and persuade "corporate primitives" to give you funding, its very likely that chances of success fall down tremendously lower then less smarter individual with ability to twist the language and facts to his/her advantage, and believe me, in eyes of those corporate primitives, body language means alot more then you think as well. Unless of course you are one of the successful ones who have the backing or have streak of favorable circumstances with very understanding and intelligent people, that is good, but even then people are jealous.The fact of the matter is that in order to get idea funded or developed, you need to be able to be aggressive in intellectual sense, and swirl away or answer with vigilance to every question/person that tries to compromise/discredit/intimidate your ideas or beliefs, and turn it around on them.there goes entire 4 years of Political Science in 2 paragraphs (main idea only, no procedures), LOL.

wow I'd like to say that was uninspired, but obviously it was a thrown together ripoff of jeckyll and hyde. and what was with that last scene with him in the display? that was completely ridiculous.

In real life Leland Orser has been married to Roma Downey from "Touched by an Angel", and is currently married to Jeanne Tripplehorn who was in "Basic Instinct". He usually plays geeky, neurotic or deranged type roles.

This story is very predictable.. and the delivery of it is silly..
This weak nerdy guy injects himself with a substance to help him become more of a "Man" but activating his "dormant Primitive" genes. Making him into a powerful raging "Caveman".
It's got similar aspects of the "Incredible Hulk" story line.
Eventually , these injections and changes back fire and he goes crazy, finding himself losing control in fits of rage.The thing that turns me off most about this, is not the story itself, just the really bad delivery of it. It seemed very thrown together without a lot of thought.

The down side of picking actors that are at all buff for nerdy rolls is that it foreshadows what is going to happen if you see the muscles before the "transformation" (check out his arm when he does the first injection.) It's like the guy that played Alpha in Dollhouse. That guy was waaaay to buff to play an agoraphobic scientist that never left his apartment.
