The Librarians and the Drowned Book

After months of working separately around the globe retrieving artifacts for The Library, all the Librarians are brought together in New York City where a convergence of unusual items each brought to the attention of one of the Librarians, a pair of fictional characters brought to life by some unseen force, and an unusual storm all converge on a museum. The Second Season opener brings the cast back together, reminding both themselves and the audience that they all work better as a group (even if they do get on each other’s nerves). The choice of fictionalized villains, such as Prospero and Moriarty (David S. Lee, who comes close to stealing the episode), and the reminder that magic is very much alive in the world after the events of Season One, works to raise the stakes of what may be possible in the show’s Second Season.
