The Librarian series began as a trilogy of made for tv movies on TNT with Flynn Carson finding his calling. Hilarity ensued.

Now it's back in a new tv series, developed by John Rogers - of Leverage fame.

Let's meet the cast:
Flynn Carson (Noah Wylie): The current Librarian. A loner who loves his job, bit of a dork. Amazing with the ladies. He's come a long way from Quest of the Spear, really. Has a rivalry with Excalibur.
Eve Baird (Rebecca Romijn): Flynn's new Guardian. Veteran counter intelligence agent who was recruited by the Library itself to protect Flynn, who needs someone when he gets in over his head. Which happens a lot.
Jacon Stone (Christian Kane): A no-nonsense, blunt man with a manly man's persona who is secretly a well educated author on ancient history.
Cassandra Cillian (Lindy Booth): A sweet, very smart young woman with a tumor in her brain that gives her the ability to remember everything.
Ezekiel Jones (John Kim): A world travelling thief that can't stay out of trouble.
Jenkins (John Larroquette): The grouchy, up-tight manager of The Library the group finds themselves answering to. He prefers to be alone to use The Library for research.

Eliot Spencer!
Also, pilot spoilers
Everything just felt light and flighty, like there was no physical impact to anything that happened. It all just came off as half-arsed and...I don't know what the best word is, hollow?
I think the contrast there was Flynn. Noah Wyle is having so much fun with that character you can't help but get pulled in.
Please shoot me a PM if you add me so I know to add you back.
I can't decide which universe on Fringe I'm going to place this and Warehouse 13. I think The Librarians might fit better in the main universe. I dunno.
I'm interested to see how the season plays out, if nothing else to get more John Larroquette.
Please shoot me a PM if you add me so I know to add you back.
Guess I forgot that the first stuff we saw was actually two episodes. Anyhow, it was a serviceable episode. There is certainly some potential here and I'll be curious to see how the various directors and writers do on the next episodes.
Episode 3 "And The Horns Of A Dilemma"
I have a huge crush on Lindy Booth.
Romijn's character seems like the weak point on this show.
Thief guy seems like a fun actor, but his actual thief skills currently leave a lot to be desired. I mean, in the pilot, he uses heat cutters in a room with heat detectors and doesn't have a viable exit.
Became a fan of her's with Kick-Ass 2. She's amazing in Cry Wolf. She's quickly become one of my favorite characters on this show.
I like her, but yeah. Needs improving.
Agreed.
The show needs to step up its game. It looks so under-funded compared to Leverage. I do like the writing, the characters and the world building - it just needs a higher budget for crazy shit. That said, I liked the Minotaur.
edit: Booth is an incredible actress, yet I don't think she's trying her best here. Maybe she'll get the chance later on when the show's improved. This is the last scene from Cry Wolf - notice how her acting range has increased dramatically from this show.
The Librarian has always been a show that's looked rather cheap. And incredibly cheesy. With neverending "emotional" music. It's always been charming and fun though, and so far these aren't any different.
I'll keep watching.
But this group doesn't work. They are so blah as people, everyone is lacks confidence (in the movies it was the ladies who were the confident ones) and they don't have either the friendship or drama that makes them a good team (or a bad team that makes good tv.)
Maybe it will get better. Agents of Shield took a few episodes to get good.
*prays*
This should reassure you:
This pretty much sums up my opinion of the show so far. I think the characters are fun (I'm especially liking Christian Kane's character who feels the need to hide his intelligence to fit in where he's from), but so far, much like leverage, what I've seen doesn't really elevate it above a background show. But it's still really early so I'm holding out hope.
First time I saw Lindy Booth, she was blonde... and staring in a show about people traveling the world retrieving mystical artifacts.
She was in Relic Hunter with Tia Carrere back in the early 2000s.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relic_Hunter
That is one specific form of typecasting she has got.
I watched that show, I didn't remember her at all. Then again I don't remember anything about that show other than Tia Carrere being a Lara Croft knock-off.
Wasn't expecting it to be so goofy and campy (and I have seen Leverage before) but it was enjoyable none the less. I'll probably watch the rest.
The Librarian movies are the pretty much the same way; Incredibly goofy and campy and having fun with it the whole time. Big fan of them and their tone. I might have done an honest-to-god fistpump when I first heard this was a real thing.
Pilot was pretty great, but I felt that was 85% Noah Wylie. Was pleasantly surprised that the quality didn't drop too much in the first episode without him. Will definitely keep watching.
She was the ditzy secretary to Tia Carrere's character.
I knew she looked familiar from somewhere, but I don't think I would have made that connection in a million years without IMDB pointing it out.
3DS: 1607-3034-6970
It has a lower budget, while retaining the goofiness and wonder. Cassandra would be a beast on Warehouse 13.
They can call it "Noah's Arc."
Could someone tell the graphics team to stop using Papyrus?

Lower budget then a Scy-Fy show? How is that possible? Do they pay the actors in magic beans or what?
And Noah Whyle is having a blast playing Finn its so infectious to watch.
Yeah. I don't think TNT realizes how much money is required for a mediocre science fiction/magic show costs these days. I know the show runner wants to expand the mythology, like this week, but it falls flat when
Agreed.
Funny you should mention that...
Today's episode dealt with fairy tales and had some of the most atrocious effects I've seen on a non-comedic TV show.... ever.
Like 1970s b-movie bad.
