FILING EVIL UNDER HISTORY
For the past 10 years, Flynn Carsen (Noah Wyle) has served as the Librarian. Prior to taking the job, he was a bookish nerd with 22 academic degrees and absolutely no social skills. As Librarian, however, he managed to use his extraordinary knowledge, successfully recovering ancient artefacts and, in the process,
saving the world from unspeakable
evil on more than one occasion. Over the last decade he’s gone from
bookworm to dashing swashbuckler, one of the secret heroes of the hidden
world.
THE LIBRARIAN SUPERTEAM
As great as Flynn is, the job of Librarian has become more than one person can handle. To aid him in his duties, the Library has recruited four people from around the world, including Eve Baird (Rebecca
Romijn), a highly skilled counter terrorism agent who is responsible for protecting the group and keeping them all alive; Jake Stone (Christian Kane), an Oklahoma oil worker with an IQ of 190 and an 
encyclopaedic knowledge of art history; Cassandra (Lindy Booth),
a quirky young woman with the special gift of auditory and sensory
hallucinations linked to memory retrieval, known as synaesthesia; and 
Ezekiel Jones (John Kim), a master of new technologies and
aficionado of old classic crimes who enjoys playing the role of
international man of mystery.
Overseeing the new team of Librarians is the somewhat cantankerous
Jenkins (John Larroquette), an expert in 
ancient lore who has
been working out of the Library’s branch office for longer than anyone
knows. Together, they must tangle with many adversaries, chief of whom
is the Serpent Brotherhood, an ancient cult led by the mysterious
immortal Dulaque (Matt Frewer).

Interesting but I hope not predictable.
ReplyDeleteI do expect it to be mild and sweet, you know, so that families could watch it together, nothing gritty. We need such shows, UK style :)
DeleteThat would be a novelty ... something families could watch together!
Deleteyep, we usually have those only over in UK, MERLIN and current ATLANTIS are such light-hearted shows without anything shocking and indecent
DeleteI thought you would like indecent? :)
DeleteI do, but not for watching with family
DeleteThe indecent is getting old. I hope you're right, Dezz.
Deletenot that we could ever live without a bit of indecent :)
DeleteCold here, close to zero, windy and gloomy! PS added you at Face!
I have never been this excited about a new series as I am about The Librarians. Christian Kane is my favorite actor and singer, so I have been anxiously counting the days. All the promos for this have been hilarious. The team seems to have great chemistry. I am glad to have a fun show that the whole family can watch together.
ReplyDeleteWe do love the element of humour in it and the cast really does seem delightful!
DeleteHard to believe Rebecca Romijn is over 40 now
ReplyDeleteand that Cate Blanchett is 45!
DeleteHi Dez!
ReplyDeleteSend me a friend request....
Enjoy your day.....
Cheers!
Linda :o)
Where? At Facebook? You've seen Dixie and me talking? :) What is your surname there?
DeleteKeaveney.......
DeleteOK will try to find you there :)
Delete"Librarians" and "adventure" aren't usually related concepts, LOL -- what's this world coming to? I love John Larroquette though and he looks great in the trailer.
ReplyDeletebut those who read books usually have the greatest of imaginations :)
DeleteAnother great family show from Dean Devlin. It will have great dialog, comedy and action. Loved his show Leverage which also starred Christian Kane.
ReplyDeleteshould be a fun one!
DeleteNobody but me probably remembers Christian Kane from the series Angel. He was on a show right before that called Fame L.A. I LOVED that show, but it didn't last very long! He's a very talented singer.
ReplyDeleteindeed he is, and also very charming!
DeleteStupid video won't load for me. :( I like the movies, they were fun and quirky. I love Rebecca Romijn in NTSF:SD:SUV::.
ReplyDeleteI've no idea what is that short from :) I loved her in pretty much all of her shows and roles, especially in FEMME FATALE
DeleteLibrarians... Another dying breed.
ReplyDeletethe ones in my city's library truly look like they really are :)
DeleteI bet librarians have more adventure than most of us. I read a quote somewhere once. It said "I feel sorry for those who don't read because they only get to experience one life" or something to that effect. But it's so true! I love, love, love getting lost in a good book. I bet this will be a great show!
ReplyDeleteyep, that is why I love translating and I'm sad that that career is probably over for me :( It gave me a chance to visit so many different places and cultures from US, UK to ancient Greece, Rome, India, Germany. China.... truly rare are the professions which give so much insight
DeleteI like the trailer quite a lot as it has a lot of humour in it. Having something light weight and easy to watch would be a real treat during the dark days of Winter.
ReplyDeleteso true, dahlink, our hearts need some light programmes over the winter
DeleteThis reminds me of Warehouse13. it could be some light fun.
ReplyDeletesure could
Deleteeverything about this show for me, looks great... i dig the cast and the look... praying now it does not suck!
ReplyDeletefingers crossed!
