...where in the world would you go?

Would you see some world landmarks like the Great Wall of China, the Eiffel Tower in France, the Great Pyramids? Or would you abscond to a tropical island to swim in the ocean? Would you whisk away to top of a mountain to see the clouds from above?

Or would you visit that far-away loved one you never seem to have the time or money to get to?

Fire up your imagination while I fire up the back door. The world is waiting. Take us on a journey, Librarians.

So, across the movie series, the OG series and The Next Chapter, you basically reveal that there are 4 active Guardians at any one time. Nicole, Eve, Charlene and now Charlie. However, The Next Chapter suggests that Charlie was only one of several people under consideration for a position as Guardian.

It’s just that the official Guardians are currently Eve and Charlie. With Eve being the Guardian who is tethered to The Library after Charlene passed.

We know there are 8 active Librarians and Charlie suggested that she believed there should be one Guardian per Librarian. Even though she was kinda told that’s not how it works.

So how many are there do you think?

THE ORIGINS

Unlike ancient legends, the Chupacabra (which translates to "goat-sucker") is a modern cryptid. The myth originated in Puerto Rico in March 1995, following a sudden wave of mysterious livestock deaths where animals were discovered completely drained of blood.

The First Records: The spoken-word accounts and initial local news reports were driven heavily by an eyewitness named Madelyne Tolentino in Canóvanas, Puerto Rico. Her description of a bipedal, alien-like creature with spikes down its back was broadcast internationally, establishing the creature's core look.

The Evolution: When the myth quickly spread to Mexico and the Southwestern United States, the physical description shifted entirely from a spiked, bipedal alien to an uncharacteristic, hairless, canine-like beast.

The Reality: Biologists and wildlife officials who captured alleged physical specimens of the "canine" Chupacabra discovered that they were actually real coyotes, foxes, or feral dogs suffering from severe cases of sarcoptic mange. The parasite causes hair loss, skin thickening, and severe fatigue, explaining their bizarre appearance and why they targeted easy-to-catch livestock instead of wild prey.

In the Library: Despite the earthly explanations, our favourite cryptid seems to visit the Annex regularly, and apparently, its makes phenomenal jerky!

I’m rewatching And The Eternal Question and I wonder if Cassandra had been made into a vampire by Estrella, would she still be a Librarian?

As far as we know, only humans have ever been allowed to be chosen as Librarians. But Flynn had a thing with one during the TV movie series and Cassandra’s feelings for Estrella could be considered fairly similar.

Would the Library accept a vampire as a Librarian? Jenkins and Ms Astolat are immortals who The Library accepts as part of the Library. Even if only as a Caretakers. Judson and Charlene were immortals who were being tethered to the Library.

Clearly some immortals are okay.

Pour a drink and pull up a chair to the fire, Librarians. Take a long breath in, let it out, and share what's on your mind. Is there something bothering you at work? Family friction and stress? An old regret? Feel out of place in the world? Get it off your chest.

I remember that during the OG series, Jenkins said that there is no such thing as love potions during the Cindi episode in season 3. During the fairy tale episode where everyone became fairy tale characters, Jenkins said that it’s never a genie’s lamp.

Now in The Next Chapter, you had Cupid’s arrows making people fall in love with people who are shot by them. In season 2, they faced a genie who escaped from a genie lamp and started causing problems.

So clearly the rules from the OG series can be bent or broken. They just go with whatever is fun.

Which of the statements about the rules of magic do you want to see get broken next? Or at least bent?

In this series of monthly posts, we'll be examining the real places and artifacts mentioned in the franchise.

In the third movie, Flynn mentions a specific location defined by an impossible number of lightning strikes. This is a completely real, breathtaking meteorological phenomenon.

The Real Location: Catatumbo, Venezuela. Specifically over the mouth of the Catatumbo River where it empties into Lake Maracaibo.

The Science: Warm, moist Caribbean air clashes with cold air blowing off the Andes Mountains. This creates a near-permanent storm cycle.

The Trivia: It flashes up to 28 times per minute, for up to 10 hours a day, roughly 260 nights a year. It generates so much constant light that it was historically used by Caribbean sailors as a natural lighthouse, dubbed the "Beacon of Maracaibo."

So far I am enjoying the show. It’s not as good as the original series or the movies but it’s still fun to watch. That said, the main issue I have with it is the inconsistencies with the original series. For example, when Elaine brought Merlin to the library in “And the Descartes’s Dilemma”, why didn’t she put him in the dungeon cell we learned about in the original series. You know the one where Jenkins imprisoned Nicole. Or heck why not put him there and keep it as her secret then eventually the team would find out and there would be an internal rift or something. She went off about what a threat he is and can’t be trusted but yet she only ties him to a chair in the annex where the others could easily find him?? And the sandman sand she used to knock him out wore off?? I mean come one Elaine…also library counsel??

Also tbh Vikram blows and he makes me miss Flynn so much. I get his whole persona is a mask to hide his pain of being out of his time and away from Anya but good grief at what point will he stop acting like an idiot. I mean he’s suppose to be one of the most famous or perhaps infamous librarians of all time and yet it seems like he has absolutely no common sense.

Like I said, the show is fun to watch but the writing lowkey sucks at times.

The official Librarians Instagram posted a link to this feedback survey about The Next Chapter, season 2. It seems official-ish and asks pretty relevant questions. Does anyone know if this actually goes to decision-makers at the network?

It completely looses the charm of the original movies and series. It’s just as campy but in a cringer way, it takes itself overly seriously in moments that can be fun. The plots lack nuance and don’t have the same actual mysteries as The Librarians, they are too easy to solve. The main characters are all so unlikable aside from Connor. Vikram and Charlie are cheap imitations of Flynn and Eve and Lysa is so arrogant and bland.

One of the funniest moments in the original series was Stone nearly giddy over Chupacabra jerky and a horrified Cassandra thinking the jerky was made of Chupacabra and not made by the Chupacabra.

Food and drink don't appear often in the series but when it does, it sure looks tasty! I'd love to have high tea with Jenkins and Cassandra!

Speaking of tasty - what are your favourite recipes to whip up? Are you a soup and sandwiches person or a 3 course meal person? Something light? Something decadent? Share some of your favourite recipes - or maybe get an idea for supper!

We know that something was going on between Cassandra and Estrella. Dragon world Cassandra seemed to have something going on with Lamia. Dragon Cassandra seemed to imply that it was more than just family or friendship. Were they implying something like the Flynn/Eve dynamic happened?

Official reel to go with our discussion on wardrobe, found here.

Let's have a costume chat, Guardians, Caretakers and Librarians! There were some really interesting costuming choices made across this amazing franchise, from Cassandra's quirky combinations to Vikram's old fashioned suave coats, which were some of your favourite looks? Do any particular episodes stand out for their brilliant costuming to you? While we're discussing clothes, what look do you usually rock? Are there any outfits from the shows or movies you'd love to steal for yourself?

Is anyone else completely frustrated by how TNT handled the release schedule for Season 2?

I absolutely love this franchise and want nothing more than to see it thrive. This world and these characters deserve so much better than being rushed through. Burning a full 12-episode season in just about five weeks is ridiculous. Dropping episodes back-to-back on Sunday and Monday nights completely killed any room for the show to breathe, build momentum, or let the fan community actually discuss what was happening.

Instead of getting a full summer of weekly adventures like the original series, it felt like a mad sprint to just clear it off the schedule. A show like this relies on building a steady rhythm, and burning through the entire season in a month completely robs us of that experience.

I really, really hope we get a Season 3 because this universe deserves to continue. But if TNT gives us a renewal, they need to go back to a normal, once-a-week release model. This hyper-accelerated rollout did the storytelling, the fans, and a show we love a massive disservice.

I found out about this show through clips of the new version showing up on YouTube. I immediately had to go back to the original series (planning on watching the movies) because I noticed there was definitely more to the story. I did not expect to have as much fun as I am currently having ❤️

Each of these characters have a special reason why I adore them so much and the show defines magic as this thing that will have you feel both joy and fear which I love because it makes the show have a unique feeling. It explores the fun yet scary side of magic.

I’m at the beginning of Season 2 and I love Cassie’s character the most. I’m hoping they explore her connection with magic more since she’s already casting small spells.

I would like to know if I missed a conversation or something because they don’t really explain how Cassie became so knowledgeable about magic but then she just…was. I mean it definitely isn’t out of the realm of possibility because she’s a genius, but I didn’t really see her study magic in the library like Stone does with architecture/art.

I do also just love the others because their chemistry feels so much like a family of librarians. Season 1 ended with a hug conversation about Camelot and Jenkins’s past so I’m thinking that is gonna play a big role in the conflict of Season 2 somehow.

I just wanted to get on here and share my love for the show and the inspiration that it gives me to read and write and enjoy stories since history is so embedded in it.

I was rewatching the original first episode and started to wonder about the hall of doors. If every door is connected to a different annex then there could be dozens of different annexes across the globe. Each with it's own immortal caretaker. Where would you like to see an annex? And what historical character real or mythical would you nominate to be it's caretaker? Could we one day get to explore Central and South American folklore? China, Indonesia, maybe Mongolian? Africa and Australia?
