I haven’t watched ‘Resurrection’, as I didn’t care for the theme.
However, over the weekend, I was watching some TV programs I have on disk and I ran across one named ‘Babylonian Fields’ unsold pilot. I dediced to watch. I have no idea where or why I have an old copy. It is sort of the same theme as ‘Resurrection’. It was also kind of creepy.

I do like to watch pilots for TV programs. It is interesting to see what was ‘sold’ to the networks and the changes from the original concepts. Some are almost identical but maybe some changes in actors; others are very different from the pilot.
The older I get, the more impatient I get when it comes to plot development - an example to me was the recent “bubble/dome” fiasco “Under the Dome.” For “Resurrection” it is just bad writing. I could see this was going nowhere fast. I don’t have time to waste it on a bad rehost of an already existing plot line.
As an avid Stargate viewer, I watched Stargate Universe for several episodes, each getting more boring than the prior. It was not until the last two episodes that they (writers) actually went for broke and got creative (maybe they fired the initial writers, I don’t know). But by then, it was already cancelled.
The most enduring writer incompetency fiasco was “Lost” IMO. Original plotline, but mostly just drug-addled leaps of fantasy and aimlessness that finally had to be put out of its misery - ending in a classic, Bobby Ewing “It was all a dream sequence.”
All of the actors in that series should be banned from any future role or guest appearance IMO. Just for having been on that POS show.
