Line #5 Recap/TheLibrariansS1E06AndTheFablesOfDoom


1	Fairy tales are coming to life in a small town. Not only are magical creatures coming from nowhere, but the people in the town are getting pulled into the stories and assigned roles. And ''real'' fairy tales don't have happy endings.
2
3	----
4	!!Tropes:
5
6	* AndIMustScream: Implied to be the fate of [=McGuire=], and he gets sucked into the book.
7	* BitchInSheepsClothing: [=McGuire=] seems like such a nice man but that's just a facade for the selfish predator he is.
8	* BeenThereShapedHistory: Non-human example: The ArtifactOfDoom responsible for the fairy tales coming to life also caused The Black Death (by draining life from people to fuel its power).
9	* BlatantLies: The Librarians are conducting a traffic flow study. During the course of which, they discover swamp gas. But no need to call the authorities, it's all been dealt with.
10	* BornLucky: Ezekiel takes on this archetype for the episode.
11	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Ezekiel has trouble believing that the traffic accident was caused by a troll. Jenkins assumes it's because trolls aren't indigenous to the Pacific Northwest.
12	* DudeWheresMyRespect: The woman who Jacob saved from the wolf's stomach thanks Cassandra for saving her due to her becoming Prince Charming.
13	* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: As Cassandra's part of the story is Prince Charming, she becomes attractive even to women ([[ShipTease including Eve]]).
14	* EvilOldFolks: Getting old sucks. So says the VillainOfTheWeek.
15	* FairyTaleMotifs: Invoked by the magic story book, which either summons characters from the stories (such as the troll from ''The Billy Goats Gruff'') or turning people into various archetypes (the mayor into the titular emperor from ''The Emperor's New Clothes'').
16	* ItsAllAboutMe: [=McGuire=] is willingly to destroy an entire town and drain the life of a child if it means restoring himself and stopping his aging. It's even mentioned how he believes that since he gave so much to the town, the town should give back to ''him''.
17	* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: The fairy tale takes a hard left turn in this direction after Ezekiel gives Jamie the book. The huntsman is a robot! The princess is a ninja! Prince Charming is actually Merlin!
18	* NoodleIncident: The chalkboard of artifacts.
19	** Also, Jenkins implies another one (although this one [[SubvertedTrope ultimately gets explained in one of the books]]):
20	-->'''Jenkins:''' (''regarding which artifact could be behind this'') And the genie's lamp can go.
21	-->'''Cassandra:''' Why not the genie's lamp?
22	-->'''Jenkins:''' ...it's ''never'' the genie's lamp.
23	* RoboCam: We get a brief shot like this from Jacob's perspective, after Jamie declares that he's a robot.
24	-->'''Robo!Jacob:''' Yeah. ''This'' I can work with.
25	* RousingSpeech: Cassandra gets to give one at the climax of the episode.
26	* YouDontWantToKnow: When Jacob sees that one of the Library's new books is an annotated copy of ''Literature/ParadiseLost'', Jenkins warns that they don't want to know ''who'' annotated it. [[{{Satan}} The implication presumably being...]]
