The Librarians and the Cost of Education – Director: Courtney Rowe/Writer: Kate Rorick

This one starts with a victory party at Wexler University. The mascot (an otter) is very excited and heads over to Omega Theta House for a frat party, but a dimensional rift opens and a giant tentacle emerges and drags him through. So, a Lovecraft-themed episode, I guess. Continue reading “Librarians Reviews: Season 2, Episode 4”

The Librarians and the Broken Staff – Director: Marc Roskin/Writers: Alexa Alemanni, Joe Boothe, Holly Moyer

This one continues from last episode, with everyone gathering in the Annex after dissipating the storm. Flynn is still bothered that Eve didn’t let him go charging after Prospero, but she reminds him it’s better to stick with a plan. Flynn isn’t thrilled about having to share Eve with the other Librarians, since he’s gotten to enjoy their alone time. Elsewhere, Prospero manifests in a library through a copy of the Tempest. Continue reading “Librarians Reviews: Season 2, Episode 2”

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

This one starts nine months ago, when magic was brought back to the world with King Arthur’s sword. While the Librarians were trying to stop Dulaque and Lamia, someone else was taking advantage of the newly awakened magic to bring a character from the pages of a book into the real world. The book is Sherlock Holmes, so I guess we’re supposed to assume it’s him, but it could just as easily be Moriarty or even Watson (especially since the guy doing the conjuring says he has need of the new character’s genius). Continue reading “Librarians Reviews: Season 2, Episode 1”

Well, that’s it for Season 1 of The Librarians. The show’s as good as I remembered (or maybe even better), but I’ve always loved that secret history kind of stuff that the show does so well. Continue reading “The Librarians Season 1 Overview”

The Librarians and the Loom of Fate – Director: Jonathan Frakes/Writer: John Rogers

This one starts with Eve waking up … somewhere. She’s kinda out of it and has blood on her hand that appears to be her own blood. Instead of freaking out, she just smiles as she closes her eyes. Eve wakes up again in an Egyptian tomb where Jacob, Cassandra, and Ezekiel are fighting mummies and trying to open a sarcophagus. Flynn shows up just in time to help defeat the mummies and tells them the sarcophagus might hold the key to bringing back the Library. Continue reading “The Librarians Reviews: Season 1, Episode 10”

The Librarians and the Rule of Three – Director: Marc Roskin/Writers: Paul Guyot, Kate Rorick

This one starts with a high school student (Jonah Gordon) getting ready for a science fair. Jonah is the sort of student who takes his academic career very seriously, but his preparations are interrupted when he’s suddenly paralyzed. Continue reading “The Librarians Reviews: Season 1, Episode 7”

The Librarians and the City of Light – Director: Tawnia McKiernan/Writers: John Rogers, Jeremy Bernstein

This one starts in the woods near a small town called Collins Falls, where a UFO hunter (Victor Finch) is investigating reports of strange lights in the area. Continue reading “The Librarians Reviews: Season 1, Episode 9”

The Librarians and the Apple of Discord – Director: Marc Roskin/Writers: Paul Guyot, Geoffrey Thorne

This one starts near Mount Fuji in Japan, with a young couple lost in the woods. An earthquake shakes things up, but it’s soon accompanied by torrential rain and something huge coming up through the ground. Continue reading “The Librarians Reviews: Season 1, Episode 5”

The Librarians and the Heart of Darkness – Director: John Harrison/Writer: Geoffrey Thorne

This one starts in the Mitra region of Slovakia, where a girl runs out of a farmhouse covered in blood and freaking out. She sees an SUV approaching and flags it down. Of course, it’d Eve and the Librarians, who the girl (Katie Bender) tells to beware the house because it’s evil. Continue reading “The Librarians Reviews: Season 1, Episode 8”

The Librarians and Santa’s Midnight Run – Director: Jonathan Frakes/Writers: Paul Guyot, John Rogers

This one starts at a soup kitchen in England just before Christmas. A guy comes in to rob the place, but the guy ladling out the soup (played by Bruce Campbell) talks him down, appealing to his better nature almost as if he can read the guy’s mind. (Considering the episode title, I think we can guess who he is.) Unfortunately, Santa gets hit by a mistletoe dart fired by a mysterious woman and passes out.
