The Librarians and the Rise of Chaos – Director: Dean Devlin/Writers: Marco Schnabel, Dean Devlin

This one starts at a museum in Egypt where some tourists are enjoying a look at the relics. But one guy (Barry) is bored out of his mind, so when a voice tells him to go into a restricted chamber, he obeys and finds a cool sarcophagus with a mummy in it. As he’s taking a selfie with it, some dark energy flies out of the mummy’s mouth and into Barry. Continue reading “Librarians Reviews: Season 3, Episode 1”

Well, that’s it for Season 2 of The Librarians. The structure was a bit different from the first season, with Prospero turning out to be more of a motivator than a recurring villain. The team was forced to search for artifacts and shut down possible sources of power, but only really confronted Prospero at the beginning and end of the season. Continue reading “The Librarians Season 2 Overview”

The Librarians and the Final Curtain – Director: Marc Roskin/Writers: John Rogers, Paul Guyot

This one continues directly from last episode, with supercharged ley lines in the sky disrupting the internet and the world’s power supplies. Flynn likens it to the Carrington Event of 1859, when solar flares disrupted telegraphy all over the world … except this is a magical Carrington Event, so it will wipe out all technology. Continue reading “Librarians Reviews: Season 2, Episode 10”

The Librarians and the Happily Ever Afters – Director: Rod Hardy/Writers: Geoffrey Thorne, Jeremy Bernstein

This one starts with Flynn running from ninjas in Japan, summoned when he grabbed the sacred Oni Bell. Jenkins opens the Back Door for him and Flynn delivers the Bell, saying it’s the last of the artifacts they have to keep away from Prospero. Flynn is feeling pretty good, but he soon figures out something’s wrong when Jenkins doesn’t remember the other Librarians or Eve. Continue reading “Librarians Reviews: Season 2, Episode 9”

The Librarians and the Point of Salvation – Director: Jonathan Frakes/Writer: Jeremy Bernstein

This one starts at a top secret DARPA research lab where a team (one of whom is playing a first-person shooter video game when he’s supposed to be working) has put together a computer using an unknown material that lets the computer work faster than any before it … basically a shortcut to quantum computing. During a demonstration for a bigwig general, the core overloads and everyone tries to evacuate. Continue reading “Librarians Reviews: Season 2, Episode 8”

The Librarians and the Image of Image – Director: Emile Levisetti/Writer: Paul Guyot

This one starts in London, where Jacob and Cassandra are hanging out after doing some research to find Prospero. Outside a club called Effigy, a jauntily-dressed dude crosses the street and gets hit by a car, but it doesn’t affect him at all. Instead, a girl who just came out of the club goes flying twenty feet through the air. Jacob catches her and realizes magic is probably involved, prompting Cassandra to wonder why the Clipping Book didn’t warn them. Continue reading “Librarians Reviews: Season 2, Episode 7”

The Librarians and the Infernal Contract – Director: Jonathan Frakes/Writers: Paul Guyot, Holly Meyer

This one starts in Hawthorne, New Hampshire where a mayoral race is underway between two candidates (Keating and Denning). A woman who works for Denning’s campaign (Brandy Vargas) crashes her car and runs off like someone is chasing her, although we don’t actually see anyone. Something’s definitely chasing her though, as a fiery hole opens up in her motel room and draws her inside, leaving a strange sigil burnt into the wall. Continue reading “Librarians Reviews: Season 2, Episode 6”

The Librarians and the Hollow Men – Director: Noah Wyle/Writer: Geoffrey Thorne

This one starts with Eve, Ezekiel, and Jacob breaking into a museum to retrieve the Eye of Zarathustra, one of the artifacts that have mysteriously disappeared from the Library. This particular artifact is the first to re-appear in public, donated to the collection by an anonymous benefactor (according to the emails Ezekiel hacked).
