The Librarian

• Title: The Librarians – And the Downed Book
• wiki: link

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.

Ending the season with the return of both Flynn Carson (Noah Wyle) and The Library, “And the Loom of Fate” ties together the recovered artifacts from several of the show’s previous nine episodes for a showdown with the villainous Dulaque (Matt Frewer) and a look at various other realities where Flynn never became The Librarian. The show has certainly improved over the second-half of its First Season and the season finale wraps up most of the loose ends allowing for both a strong final episode (should TNT choose not to renew the show) while also opening the door for several new opportunities in a potential Second Season.

Despite the disbelief of both Jenkins (John Larroquette) and the other Librarians-in-Training, Ezekiel (John Kim) convinces the group to head to a small town where a UFO expert disappears and strange lights have been reported. As Jake (Christian Kane) and Cassandra (Lindy Booth) investigate the history of the town with the help of the town’s archivist/notary/volunteer fire chief/chancellor of the exchequer (Haley Webb), Ezekiel and Eve (Rebecca Romijn) take a closer look at the area where the UFO nut was exploring before he disappeared only to have Eve disappear right in front of Ezekiel’s eyes.

• Title: The Librarians – And the Heart of Darkness
• IMDb: link

Haunted houses are real. Attempting to repair broken lay lines leads the Librarians-in-Training to Slovenia where they discover a young girl (Lea Zawada) whose friends have met a gruesome end inside a house that Jenkins’ (John Larroquette) research tells them has the ability to appear randomly throughout time and space (but not for the reasons the Librarians initially suspect). At times a bit too goofy for its own good (remember the Minotaur and Santa?), these last two episodes of The Librarians have been slightly more serious in tone, while still keeping the oddball core dynamic of the group, as the show seems to be finally finding the right tone.
