Abandoned Potato

I give it 3 stars - for the nostalgia it brought back. Look, I'm a massive fan of The Librarians franchise. Love the movies with Noah Wyle and I've watched the TV series (that lasted 4 seasons) a couple of times. It was a series that was fun, light hearted, but still gave depth to its characters. However, this new one - the first episode was a bit chaotic. I understand that Dean Devlin is sticking to a formula that works - then stick with it. First episode we are introduced to the new main The Librarian - Vikram Chamberlain, played by Callum McGowan - obviously the replacement for Flynn Carson - with the same kind of irreverent, charming energy. Next, we have Jacob Stone (Christian Kane) from the original series, which was a breath of fresh air. Then we have the new guys - Lysa Pascal (Played by Olivia Morris) = The new Cassandra Cillian Connor Green (Played by Bluey Robinson) = The new Ezekiel Jones Charlie Cornwall (Played by Jessica Green) = The new Eve Baird I can't help but draw these parallels ... It's so obvious. I'd have preferred FRESH and ORIGINAL characters - Like maybe a male version of Cassandra. Female version of Ezekiel. With new backstories and talents. As for the new Eve Baird ... some reviewer said she looks like she could go through a wall. And I would say, "My man, her face looks like a wall!" Jessica Green is a stunning woman - though her acting leaves a LOT to be desired. She comes across wooden, compared to Rebecca Romijn's acting. Rebecca did a fantastic job - she had charisma, presence, acting chops. Jessica Green does not I'm afraid. The new Cassandra and Ezekiel are okay - and not yet fully fleshed out. In the previous series, Episode 1 of Season 1, introduced the characters gradually - with excellent back stories and they even got invitations. In this new one, they're breaking the original lore of the Library - so now anyone can just join in on the adventures? At the end of the Episode 1, our side librarians haven't even received their invites to join the Library but they're just tagging along for the next adventure? Also, monsters are now out gallivanting around in public but there is no consequence or backlash??? I remember in the old series how they'd take great pains to keep things hidden and away from public eyes, taking care of things, or erasing memories with magic or whatever. All that care is lost in this. And also at one point, Charlie(Jessica Green) is facing off with the monster who is attacking, but mid-attack it gives her a minute to tie back her hair in a pony tail? Like what? Eve Baird always had her hair tied back because she was a Guardian and knew she'd have to fight. Anyway ... I will keep watching this, to see if it improves, to see if Noah Wyle makes an appearance ... and hopefully, it adds more depth and originality in the upcoming episodes. At the moment, I am underwhelmed by this show.

This was terrible. Shallow, predictable. Zero depth. Jack Black was trying was too hard, as was Jason Momoa. Disappointing at best. All the other reviews are spam bots. Don't believe them.

Never have I ever felt before such a violent need to slap JLo across the face. XD

Yawn fest. Watched five minutes and turned off.

I watched 5 episodes and was bored out of my mind. Gave up! The main protagonist, Ava, in so far as I watched was completely unlikeable. There was sympathy at first because she had been paralyzed - but after gaining the halo - it was like she already knew what to do. How to walk and move - maybe the halo was a magical mcguffin that gave her all that? It was just very badly written. Through all the first 5 episodes, she acts selfishly and without much thought. She doesn't seem to care if anyone gets hurt - and then acts like a child and runs away, if she does hurt someone. (Which, incidentally, she was warned about could potentially happen.) I don't know why so many people like this - do people enjoy characters that make no sense? Or characters that are just selfish and annoying? Ava is annoying. The story is slow and annoying - though apparently it gets better .... somewhere at the end of Season 1. For me, this show's popularity says more people's tastes these days and their (lack of) understanding about good stories - than it does about the show itself. That's all I have for this. Pffft! Watch it, if you like and don't mind shallow shows.

Pleasantly surprised with this! I thought I'd hate it - but I ended up really enjoying it! It's an interesting idea and the politics surrounding it, I found fun to watch play out. I liked the character of Amalia True - strong woman, understated but packing a punch. A natural really. Penance Adair was the quirky one, playing well against True's stoicness. An intriguing pair and I'm looking forward to seeing more of their relationship. Whedon's done a good job I reckon. It's only the first episode so far - some things seemed a bit rushed - like the vague reveal about WHAT touched them - choppy pace - but I am invested enough in the characters that I want to keep watching! Give it a shot! :)

Hollywood - STOP RUINING ALREADY ESTABLISHED AND LOVED CHARACTERS! FFS!!! XD This movie was trash! Fluff piece to satisfy those with an average or below average IQ. I said what I said. And I'm sticking by it.

Fun game. Spend most of my time finding food or fighting the urge to melee with the wolves! XD

PERFECTION! The Star Trek we have been waiting for! Back to discussing morals, ethics, Artificial Life .... The good stuff! The right stuff. The big stuff! I can't wait to see what happens next! Excellent production values. Tasteful! Love it. Love it. Love it!
