    Think that a late 2014 release may be a bit of a show killer, this has all the trappings of a damn good summer show. Hopefully it'll be a decent little time killer, God knows we need something a little lighthearted as trash like The Following has Networks thinking that going darker is what people want


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,571 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    Trailers are out for this. Looks like it might scratch that Warehouse 13 itch... :)





  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,562 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    I enjoyed the 3 movies for what they were.
    As you say, this will be a decent replacement for Warehouse 13

    I see Christian Kane is back to about his Angel length hair than Leverage hair.
    Seeing Lindy Booth isn't a bad thing either. Plus she has experience from Relic Hunter.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Starts on Sunday.

    I am really looking forward to this. I enjoyed the three made for tv movies.

    Hoping Bob Newhart pops up every now and then.

    Yeah i saw the ad afaik it's 2pm on Syfy, day before it shows on syfy.

    Will have to have a look at it, handy for Rebecca Romijin as her last show was canned & i forgot Noah Wyle did the movies as the first one was years ago & since Falling Skies has one season left, it's better to branch out!

    The Librarians will still air in the UK within 24 hours of the US broadcast, with the premiere on Syfy UK set for Monday December 8th at 8pm


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,943 ✭✭✭Machismo Fan


    I always had a soft spot for those films. This could be good fun. A bit of whimsical, lighthearted adventuring is never a bad thing.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 6,709 Mod ✭✭✭✭pinkypinky


    I always thought that the idea for Warehouse 13 was spun out of the Library concept. I just watched the first Librarian movie again on SyFy today and it's still enjoyable. But I think the series will struggle to be sufficiently different from Warehouse 13.

    Looking forward to it. Just checked and looks like it's a double episode tonight

    I'll come back with an opinion on this evening as I only had a chance to see it's there (it would be nice to have a Sunday show to go into my schedule as it's currently empty).

    Well that was alot of fun.

    A good mix of Eureka, Warehouse 13 & Relic Hunter.

    I'm on the other side I guess; poor CGI, even worse fighting scenes and boring one sided characters who all have one area of expertise that needs to be used. In many ways it reminds me of Scorpion with "magic" instead of tech as the solution.

    I think that's why I enjoyed to be honest.

    It's not taking itself too seriously it probably doesn't have a huge budget so they are haming it up and just having fun.


    To many of these shows take themselves way too serious.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 139 ✭✭soiaf


    While I didn't think it was fantastic, it certainly looks like it could be a bit of fun. I liked Eureka and Warehouse 13 so I suppose it should appeal to me :)

    I did roll my eyes though when they started talking about Excalibur being the sword in the stone. No people, no it's not :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,562 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    So the age of technology is coming to an end and the age of magic is beginning? Is this the prequel to Visionaries?

    I enjoyed it. Must rewatch the movies again.

    Actually felt a bit sad at
    poor Excalibur dying
    Like Christian Kane's reaction to the flying sword. :)

    What age are these characters meant to be? Lindy Booth never seems to age, John Kim looks to be in his early 20s and Christian Kane around 30. Yet they were all candidates 10 years ago?

    I think one complaint I have about the show is Rebecca Romijn's acting


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,943 ✭✭✭Machismo Fan


    Really enjoyed the first two episodes. Some fun romping. Knows exactly what it should be.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,015 ✭✭✭Ludo


    Yep...good enjoyable stuff so far. I miss eureka and warehouse 13 so this fills a gap.


  • Posts: 15,814 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Looking forward to watching this, got the three films here to watch and thinking that it'll be perfect for a lazy Friday night


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,571 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    I watched it last night and really enjoyed it.

    I thought the music was a bit overbearing at times, though....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,571 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    Sh*t, we ran out of money. I know! Let's turn the minotaur into a biker!

    No money to make the show lets get Bruce Campbell next week :D and make it a true B-show.

    Bruce Campbell as

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,069 ✭✭✭Tzar Chasm


    I'm liking it, i get the budget constraints and think it might improve the overall premis of the show

    Finally, I now know where I have been going wrong.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,943 ✭✭✭Machismo Fan


    Episode three and it's still great fun. Reminds me a little of Doctor Who.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Bruce Campbell :D:D:D

    As good and as fun a Christmas episode I have seen in a years everything worked the cast the writing the timing of the jokes.

    A great interpretation of who and what
    Santa
    is. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,562 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    This is definitely a show for just sitting back and enjoying.

    Loved Cassandra's face when she found out he was real and when she met him.

    And Ezekiel being good was fun as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 155 ✭✭aine1980


    Just caught up on the last few episodes of this show & am starting to enjoy it, good show to just chill out & watch :)


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators, Regional Midwest Moderators Posts: 24,028 Mod ✭✭✭✭Clareman


    Nice show this, great replacement for Warehouse 13.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,562 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Another fun episode. Just felt like a rushed conclusion again. Not even sure what the coin did.

    And still think Rebecca Romjin is the weakest part of the show. Even though she's a former model, she couldn't portray a convincing princess.

    I watched the first 2 eps, and have recorded the rest (on upc box)
    But according to my recordings, I have eps 4,6,7 and 9?
    Anyone else on upc have this? Am wondering if they are what they say they are or just numbered wrong 😨

    Only 6 episodes have aired.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 989 ✭✭✭piperh


    My sky box was saying I'd recorded episode 6 and yet it was 5. Even tried doing it off demand and it was the same so I'd say it was listed wrong.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,150 ✭✭✭Johnmb


    They do a video blog after each show, but they count them as an episode as far as the numbering is concerned, so that could be why UPC's numbering seems out of place. There are currently 11 numbered episodes, but 5 of them are 2-3 minute blogs.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators, Regional Midwest Moderators Posts: 24,028 Mod ✭✭✭✭Clareman


    I noticed that the last episode was directed by Jonathan Frakes.

    It's still a nice passtime show, direct replacement for Warehouse 13

    Agree about Rebecca Romjin, she is poor, her fight scenes are particularly woeful considering she's supposed to be the librarian's guardian.

    Quite like the rest of the cast, though not sure any of them reach the heights of Pete and Myka!

    Budget constraints are obvious with the show but I enjoy it and kids are enjoying it too so far which is a bonus.

    I really enjoyed the series.

    I do hope it gets renewed for a second season, It maybe suited more as a summer show instead of a midseason one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,571 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    Yeah it's a fun show. Was the Lancelot/Galahad thing supposed to be a big reveal or was it mentioned before? If it was a big twist, it fell a little flat.


  • Posts: 15,814 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Really must get around to this, figure ill watch the three films over the weekend and then get started on this as it looks like the kind of easy to watch nonsense that will kill an afternoon or three.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,990 ✭✭✭squonk


    It's pure nonsesne. It's enjoyable though. Like as was said earlier I don't know if any of them will live up to Pete or Myka but it's harmless enough so far. For now the majority of the characters grate a bit. The red haired girl with Sinestheisis is just way over done. The thieving one actually needs to be told to shape up or ship out. He's really annoying. The guardian isn't up to much by the looks of it. Comparing shows, Myka was far more convincing as a warehouse agent.

    On the plus side, John Larroquette is always great to watch! I wish they'd more Noah Wyle as well. I must get around to the films now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,562 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    I'd say Noah Wyle will be in it more if it gets a second season, since Falling Skies will be done by then. Unless he gets another job or just wants a break from tv. Again.

    So Eve is married to Dulac? Who would've thought it.

    Was a very easy, cheesy series to watch. I enjoyed it. Even Eve was a bit better towards the end, though still kinda hoped she would've died.

    But it is so cheesy and it warns us of the menace of giant sea otters that are planning to take over the world.

    You could get Gielgud, Brando, Olivier and De Niro on board this and they wouldn't be able to deliver the lines with a straight face. That's the point of the whole magnificent mess.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,571 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    Season 2 trailer. Not digging it. Trying too hard to be whacky.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,133 ✭✭✭FloatingVoter


    Dimensional Rifts and other such nonsense. Order your weed and drop your IQ at the door. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,562 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Hopefully Rebecca has improved. Though this does remind me of Warehouse 13, I don't see them getting as dark. At most it'll get as serious as Leverage sometimes did.

    Have to admit TNT do have their actors, with Noah Wyle, Rebecca Romijn and Christian Kane all from previous series.

    But I enjoy this series for what it is. Just fun and easy watching. There are other series that I can watch for more serious stories.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    That looked more like an outtake trailer than a real trailer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,571 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    That looked more like an outtake trailer than a real trailer.

    How about this one? Much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much MUCH MUCH MUCH better. Not a single joke fell flat and it looks great. Faith restored. :)



    Didn't I say it was much better?
