3 clips from babylon fields...

[Mike70]

babylon fields was a pilot for CBS that didn't get picked up. it was about the dead returning to life and attempting to fit into their old lives again. not horror but worth a look as a curiosity.

CBS picked up Moonlight (yuck) instead.

After watching those clips I can see why it wasn't picked up. It looks like a steaming pile of cow dung.

[Mike70]

yes, as i said, definitely curiousity. then again the show they picked up instead is a steaming pile of cow dung.

They said they picked up, 'Moonlight', the vampire show. I have never watched it really, but is it like that one from a few years back called, 'Forever Knight'?

yes. although forever knight was a far, far superior show to moonlight. actually forever knight is one of my all time fav shows.

Surprised, but not totally shocked. It's a mad scramble for cash--get outta the way! Of course, one of the Cuesta brother's association with the 1st two seasons of Homeland (pre-jumping of the shark) probably helped.

I guess this is kind of cool, but I don't have too much interest in this particular premise over a long term medium, and think it'll run out of steam quickly unless it has some incredible writing, and even then don't think it can last too long.

I thought the original pilot was ok. Neither good nor bad. Will watch how this develops.

i, ahem, acquired a copy of this several years ago. it was nothing special and, in fact, was rather boring. the premise of the "zombies" and the way they acted was totally, completely ridiculous.

Heres the original pilot in parts if anyones interested
