Hiatus Watch: The Librarians: The Next Chapter

I'm adding another show to my Hiatus Watch, The Librarians: The Next Chapter. It's a spin off from The Librarians TV series (which I loved watching). This new series follows Vikram Chamberlain, a magical Librarian who is from the past but has now found himself in the present. From the trailer there's also three other characters: Charlie Cornwall (the resourceful and tough guardian/protector), Connor Green (who I believe is an historian/anthropologist who believes in all the magical stuff) and Lysa Pascal (a stuff shirt scientist who doesn't believe in magic).

This is the second magical/fantasy show I'm watching or will be watching during this Hiatus. The other show I'm watching is The Worst Witch (2017), there's a lot happening in this show from bad spells causing trouble to Mildred Hubble getting into trouble (but usually for a good cause) to Ethel Hallow intentionally causing trouble. It's an interesting show, that I'm really enjoying watching.

Anyway, The Librarians: The Next Chapter seems like it's also going to be a fun show. It premiered back on May 25th, so it shouldn't take me too long to get caught up on the current episodes.

Entertainment News #61: The Librarians: The Next Chapter

There's an update on The Librarians: The Next Chapter TV series, the show has been saved by TNT after it was shelved by The CW. And according to reports, the show has already been renewed for a second season. For anyone who is not a Librarian fan, TNT is the original home of the franchise, so it's cool to see the show go back to where it started. I've watched the movies and the original show and I'm actually looking forward to seeing this spinoff. As of now, a premiere date hasn't been released but as soon as it is, I'll post it.

Entertainment News #59: The Librarians: The Next Chapter pulled from The CW fall line up

The TV series, The Librarians: The Next Chapter will not air this fall on The CW. So far it looks like the show, which is a spinoff of the original The Librarians TV series, has been shelved and there has been no reason given as to why the show has been pulled from the fall line up. I do wonder what the reason was, perhaps the network executives are unfortunately simply continuing with their cost cutting measures and getting rid of shows to save money. Whatever the reason, I do hope the cast and crew of the show was notified before it was announced in the news.

On My List: February 21st

Happy Tuesday!

I haven't posted an On My List in a while, so I wrote a little one. First, is a book that's been on my bookshelf that I haven't read. Second is a TV show I want to rewatch and last is a movie I want to rewatch. What's on your list?


A Book on my Bookshelf that I Haven't Read:

Yesterday, I was looking through one of my bookcases and found Star Wars: Scoundrels at the back of one the shelves. I forgot I had this and definitely want to read it. It's a book that centers on Han Solo, Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian, how could I have forgotten about this book. I've moved it to the front of the shelf, so I'll see it and hopefully it'll remind me to read it soon.

Book: Star Wars: Scoundrels by Timothy Zahn

Description:

To make his biggest score, Han’s ready to take even bigger risks. But even he can’t do this job solo.

Han Solo should be basking in his moment of glory. After all, the cocky smuggler and captain of the Millennium Falcon just played a key role in the daring raid that destroyed the Death Star and landed the first serious blow to the Empire in its war against the Rebel Alliance. But after losing the reward his heroics earned him, Han’s got nothing to celebrate. Especially since he’s deep in debt to the ruthless crime lord Jabba the Hutt. There’s a bounty on Han’s head—and if he can’t cough up the credits, he’ll surely pay with his hide. The only thing that can save him is a king’s ransom. Or maybe a gangster’s fortune? That’s what a mysterious stranger is offering in exchange for Han’s less-than-legal help with a riskier-than-usual caper. The payoff will be more than enough for Han to settle up with Jabba—and ensure he never has to haggle with the Hutts again.

All he has to do is infiltrate the ultra-fortified stronghold of a Black Sun crime syndicate underboss and crack the galaxy’s most notoriously impregnable safe. It sounds like a job for miracle workers . . . or madmen. So Han assembles a gallery of rogues who are a little of both—including his indispensable sidekick Chewbacca and the cunning Lando Calrissian. If anyone can dodge, deceive, and defeat heavily armed thugs, killer droids, and Imperial agents alike—and pull off the heist of the century—it’s Solo’s scoundrels. But will their crime really pay, or will it cost them the ultimate price?

What's the last movie you watched or rewatched? #1

The last movies I rewatched were: The Librarian: Quest for the Spear and The 10 Year Plan. The Librarian: Quest for the Spear is a fantasy adventure that's the first movie in The Librarian movie series which would eventually lead to an amazing The Librarians TV series. I love this first movie it's action packed and super intriguing. It felt like a nice homage to the Indiana Jones movies as it follows Flynn Carsen, a 30 something former professional college student with an abundance of degrees who ended up getting a highly sought after job as a Librarian at the Metropolitan Public Library.

This was more than just a typical librarian job, Flynn would be responsible for caring for some of the world's most important and historical artifacts and knowledge. When one of the three parts of the Spear of Destiny was stolen from the library by the shadowy group Serpent Brotherhood, Flynn was tasked with finding it. He also needed to make sure the other two parts weren't found as well as prevent the pieces from being put back together because who ever completes the spear will unfortunately control the destiny of the entire world.
