1* {{Adorkable}}: Stone gets very excited whenever he sees any kind of magic, and geeks out over a flying sword. He becomes more accustomed to the magical world, but still has nerdgasms about magic and is still spending all his free time in the annex, reading the "unedited" versions of art history and trying to get the glowy-globe to float and project an illusion of the world. He becomes positively giddy after being shot [[spoiler: and being given a health pack to learn that he's in a video game]]. He starts bombarding Jones with questions to find out what [[spoiler: genre of game they're in]].
2* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Stone conjectures that the real reason Jones didn't fall for Cindy's [[spoiler: love potion while he and Flynn did]] was that he was already in love with her, and the latter's facial expressions suggest that there's something to this. On the other hand, he suggested that the reason was his own self-confidence and not needing someone else to validate him. [[spoiler: As seen in Season Two, Stone spent most of his life with an emotionally abusive father, and Flynn is hinted to be more emotionally vulnerable than he lets on, while Ezekiel is definitely comfortable with who he is. It could also be the reason the Apple of Discord didn't work on him--because he already was comfortable with the worst parts of himself and doesn't repress or deny them like the others do.]]
3** Cassandra's interest in Jenkins doesn't seem to be particularly well foreshadowed beforehand. [[spoiler: How much of it was due to a desire to "seize the day" given that she knows her time is limited? It seems that she was genuinely into him, but the fact that it's right after getting the news that her tumor's grown is also notable]]. Later on, there are a couple moments that imply there's some genuine ShipTease, but at the same time, she never follows up on it, and seems genuinely repulsed when [[spoiler: Jeff as Jenkins hits on her, though then again that could have been how awkward it was]].
4* BaseBreakingCharacter: Flynn Carsen has become something of a base-breaker as of the third season. On the one hand, he was the star of the movies that preceded the show, and still has fans. On the other hand, the series survived its first two seasons with minimal involvement from him (as Creator/NoahWyle was busy filming ''Series/FallingSkies'' until that series ended in 2015), and since becoming a regular, he has a tendency to take the focus away from the other cast members. Plus, while he's supposed to be a brilliant Librarian, the episodes often force him into the role of TheMillstone, making what should probably be rookie mistakes for someone who is supposedly so experienced. However, others feel that this helps to prove Eve's point that Flynn can't always manage by himself (and also subtly demonstrate why most Librarians don't last more than a handful of years).
5* CompleteMonster: In a world of adventure and magic where AllMythsAreTrue, some figures stand out as true monsters:
6** "[[Recap/TheLibrariansS1E06AndTheFablesOfDoom ...and the Fables of Doom]]": [[ItsAllAboutMe Mr. McGuire]] is a [[BitchInSheepsClothing seemingly-kindly old librarian]] who discovers a [[ArtifactOfDoom magic book]] that can give strength to the user. Using it to drain the life of a little girl and more innocents, he begins unleashing fairy tales on the local town to terrorize them, all while continuing his "stories" to the child. [=McGuire=] reveals he intends to kill everyone in the town via [[ImmortalityImmorality harvesting their lives]], gloating that he has given so much to the town and now they can give him their lives in turn.
7** "[[Recap/TheLibrariansS1E08AndTheHeartOfDarkness ...and the Heart of Darkness]]": [[PsychopathicWomanchild Katie Bender]] is the true master of the House of Repose. Once a member of the monstrous SerialKiller Bender family, Katie stumbled upon the wish-granting house and enslaved it, using it to travel time and space to lure in men, women and children so she can sadistically toy with and eventually murder them. Luring in the Librarians via playing an innocent child, Katie soon reveals her own monstrous nature, revealing the grand total of her victims makes her the most prolific murderer in history.
8** "[[Recap/TheLibrariansS2E07AndTheImageOfImage ...and the Image of Image]]": [[Literature/ThePictureOfDorianGray Dorian Gray]] himself is {{the hedonist}}ic owner of Club Effigy. Having bound his soul into a painting to achieve {{immortality|Immorality}}, Dorian lures in innocents to the club so he may trick them into painfully absorbing his own sins from the painting to destroy them, all while he remains young and beautiful. Dorian seduces and tempts people into the club, exposing them to his magic, while also keeping the young woman Eve magically bound to him. Despite his claims of victimhood, Dorian is a vicious, hedonistic sociopath willing to destroy and damn countless innocents so as to [[ItsAllAboutMe not lose an eternity of enjoyment]].
9* CryForTheDevil: VillainOfTheWeek Fortuna is a vindictive, self-centered goddess who is draining people's luck, but her backstory isn't a happy one. Millennia ago, she fairly won a contest between gods about how the world would be run and wanted everything to be based on luck and random chances. Jupiter (who really shouldn't have offered that prize in the first place if he was only going to make good on it to gods' whose philosophies he agreed with) not only reneged on his word, but turned Fortuna into a statue, and she's spent millennia being humiliatingly groped by gamblers who view the act a good luck ritual, [[AndIMustScream while being fully aware of what's happening and unable to speak or move.]] Then, at the end of the episode, she's returned to her former state.
10* EnsembleDarkhorse: Irish GenkiGirl and [[FairySexy attractive fairy]] Ariel only appears in three episodes, and in two of them, she only has a nonspeaking role as a [=CGI=] fairy. Still, she's seen as one of season 2's most entertaining characters and fans wish she'd appeared more.
11* EpilepticTrees:
12** In "And What Lies Beneath the Stones", a color photograph of a young Jenkins in late 20th century clothes is displayed during Jenkins' presentation, which lead to believe that he was quite young during the 70s [[spoiler:despite already being 15 centuries old]] and aged [[spoiler:normally]] from there.
13** At the end of "And the Loom of Fate", Dulaque [[spoiler:magically disappears. He's never seen again but we don't really know what actually happens to him.]]
14* GeniusBonus:
15** Dulaque's identity as [[spoiler:Lancelot du Lac]] can be figured out before it's revealed by those who know their Myth/ArthurianLegend and understand references such as his name and him being called the "son of Ban".
16** Morgan Le Fey also tips off the identity of Jenkins in "The Librarians and the Rule of Three," but only to people who caught her call him [[spoiler:Galeas]] and are knowledgeable enough to know [[spoiler:Galeas]] is an alternate name for [[spoiler:Galahad]]
17** Viewers who recognize the name [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloody_Benders Katie Bender]] will figure out the twist in the episode "And the Heart of Darkness" almost from the beginning.
18** The Patron Saint of Thieves is better known by another name: [[SantaClaus Saint Nicholas]].
19** The town in "And the Infernal Contract" is named Hawthorne. Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote the book ''The Scarlet Letter,'' which is about someone suspected of having made a deal with the Devil.
20** The library motto, carved over the back door, "Nam et ipsa scientia potestas est," means "For knowledge itself is power."
21* LauncherOfAThousandShips: Cassandra has been shipped with every single member in the main cast. The show doesn't help either with the reveal that she is officially bisexual and has an attraction to Jenkins.
22* LesYay: In "And the Fables of Doom", Cassandra becomes PrinceCharming, which turns her into a ChickMagnet. Later, Cassandra even says she didn't mind the attention at all.
23** It even affects Baird, perhaps even more so as she was designated the role as a {{Princess|Classic}}.
24** There's definitely some chemistry between [[spoiler:the alternate universe versions Cassandra and Lamia, who seems downright infatuated with Cass]]. Also [[spoiler:Cassandra]]'s lingering stare at [[spoiler:Eve]] when she says that her relationship with [[spoiler:her Eve]] wasn't familial could easily be taken to indicate that they were involved.
25** The second-season premiere sees Cassandra getting along quite famously with the Italian noblewoman that Ezekiel spent most of the episode trying, mostly unsuccessfully, to charm. The girl even gives Cassandra her number and kisses her cheek.
26** In episode 4 of season 2 Cassandra ends up bonding with a girl named Lucy, and the two quickly become close over their shared intelligence and Lucy's budding interest in magic. [[spoiler:When Lucy gets captured by the monster of the week, Cassie goes into full AlwaysSaveTheGirl mode and risks both her own life and many more to save Lucy.]]
27** In episode 7 of season 2 a drunk Cassie becomes enamored with Eve's face and at one point stares lovingly at her, clearly making Eve uncomfortable.
28** Stone figures out pretty quickly in "And the Eternal Question" that Estraya would only really be interested in talking to Cassandra. The two end the episode by sharing a parting kiss.
29* MagnificentBastard:
30** Season 1: [[DiabolicalMastermind Dulaque]] is the [[WickedCultured charismatic]] and devious [[BigBad leader]] of the Serpent Brotherhood and is in truth [[FallenHero Lancelot du Lac, having become bitter and twisted after the fall of Camelot]]. Dulaque desires to return the world to the age of magic and kings, believing it to be what humanity needs to prosper, and will stop at nothing to make it happen. Over the course of the series, Dulaque has a long list of ingenious acts, such as manipulating Cassandra into getting him into the Library and using {{Excalibur}} to return magic to the world, tricking and capturing Santa Claus and using his diplomatic charm to try and have the various magical factions disband the Library. Finally, in his greatest move, Dulaque leaks information and has The Librarians create a portal to the Loom Of Fate to allow him to rewrite history and return Camelot to existence. A genius plotter who always has a new plan and takes his defeats in stride, Dulaque is the most dangerous enemy faced by The Library.
31** Season 2: [[Franchise/SherlockHolmes Professor James Moriarty]] is a fictional character brought to life by Prospero to act as his right-hand man. A [[SharpDressedMan charismatic, dapper gentleman]] who knows how to manipulate things to his advantage, Moriarty is instrumental in setting up Prospero's powers returning to him and helps him foil the heroes at various times. Moriarty can fake a truce to subtly influence the heroes into giving him the Staff of Zarathustra to empower his master, or to analyze and discover the weaknesses of his foes thorough a keen SherlockScan. Eventually ditching Prospero due to his love for Eve, Moriarty helps bring about Prospero's ultimate downfall by manipulating him into letting his guard down, and dies protecting Eve, with his final words being a method to destroy his master for good.
32* {{Moe}} DelicateAndSickly (at times) Super-intelligent MotorMouth Cassandra is absolutely adorable.
33* RuleOfCool: In "And the Eternal Question," Jenkins slaughtering a dozen vampires in one go while dual-wielding sabers. Should he have had much more trouble since the vampires can move at super-speed (which they seem to have forgotten how to do)? Yes. Is it absolutely awesome, and arguably one of the most badass scenes in the entire show? Also yes.
34* SugarWiki/SheReallyCanAct: Those who only familiar with Creator/RebeccaRomijn from the ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'' and ''Series/UglyBetty'' are genuinely surprised to see her performance here, especially in the heavier episodes.
35* SpiritualAdaptation: The series has a surprising amount in common with the Website/SCPFoundation universe. To whit:
36** The aspect of hunting down and containing dangerous anomalous artifacts is here, naturally.
37** Both universes feature an antagonistic organization with snake motifs (Serpent's Hand in the Foundation, Serpent Brotherhood in the Librarians).
38** Both feature an impossibly vast, magical library in their mythos (the Wanderer's Library in the Foundation, the Library in... well, the Librarians).
39** Both feature US Government organizations dealing with anomalies (Department of Statistical Anomalies in the show, the FBI's Unusual Incidents Unit in the Foundation).
40** Both have their fair share of BunnyEarsLawyer characters.
41** Both feature a sinister magical carnival with NightmareFuel clowns (Hermann-Fuller's Circus of the Disquieting vs. the Carnival in "And the Tears of a Clown".)
42* SpiritualSuccessor:
43** To TNT's ''Series/{{Leverage}}'', with an additional magic twist, expected since both shows are produced by Dean Devlin. They both even star Christian Kane playing a slightly similar role within the team.
44** This series also has a lot in common with [=SyFy's=] ''Series/{{Warehouse 13}}''. However it is [[SeriousBusiness very important]] in some areas of the internet not to refer to it as a rip off, as the films did technically come first. Doesn't change the similarities. [[note]]Eve is very Myka, Ezekiel makes a good Claudia, Jenkins is a more crotchety Arty. Stone and Cassandra both have aspects of Pete and Steve.[[/note]] John Rogers actually acknowledges this, and specifically mentions that they removed the artifact hunt element BECAUSE it would be too similar.
45* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: Starting from the third season, the show began featuring a piece of music that sounds remarkably similar to the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rqz_JyAUZyg Eleventh Doctor's theme]] from Matt Smith's tenure on ''Series/DoctorWho''. It doesn't help that the music first plays during a speech suspiciously similar to the Eleventh Doctor's speech in "The Eleventh Hour" (which also had the Eleventh Doctor's theme playing in the background.) Additionally, one of the plots in Season 2 ([[spoiler: having the main character's sapient home base briefly take up residence in a human body, which the main character doesn't recognize, before they bond, share a tender moment, and the spirit of the Library/TARDIS returning to their status as a building as a tearful Flynn/Doctor watch]]) is a mirror of one of the Eleventh Doctor's stories. The TARDIS herself makes a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo, accompanied by more ''Doctor Who''-ish music, in the finale of Season 2.
46* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter:
47** Ariel is a one-episode wonder, who only appeared in the penultimate episode of Season 2, and not at all since.
48** Amy Meyer is a teen genius who loves the idea of magic existing and has the quick thinking skills to come up with a way to save a whole bunch of innocent people from being killed by a large dose of magical energy. In short, she was a fine candidate to be a Librarian-in-training, but she only shows up for the one episode. This is justified, though: Creator/BexTaylorKlaus was starring in ''Series/ScreamTheTVSeries'' at the time, and later on, they got a voice role on ''WesternAnimation/VoltronLegendaryDefender'', so their schedule likely wouldn't have allowed for additional appearances.
49** At the end of "The Image of Image", the Librarians have [[spoiler:''[[Literature/ThePictureOfDorianGray Dorian Gray]]]]'', a [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] GreenEyedMonster who is both savvy in technology and magic, in their bag: [[spoiler:His image is bound to Eve while the Librarians have Jenkins and Ezekiel to keep him in check in case he tries to reverse it]]. His BlessedWithSuck curse is stated to be possible to be reverted and opens up interesting possibility to be a TeethClenchedTeamwork and possibly some CharacterDevelopment with the Librarians. [[spoiler:But Gray refuses and [[ItMakesSenseInContext Eve jumps off of a building to kill him]]]].
50** [[spoiler:Morgan Le Fay]] went into hiding at the end of "And the Rule of Three" to prepare for "what is to come". After three apocalyptic events, she never show up again, with the implication that she's just skived off the real world entirely. Her relationship with Jenkins is also never explored (though significant amounts of it can be deduced following the reveal about Jenkins' true identity).
51* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The second season finale has a TearJerker storyline of [[spoiler:Eve and Flynn might possibly stuck in 16th century England, described as "the most magical place on Earth"]]. This could have opened up a horde of possibility on how the remaining members would deal with it and how to get their friends back, possibly an entire arc or even season instead of resolving it in 10 minutes. Given that it was a season finale, this may have been due to real-life constraints.
52** The LITs practically never interact with Charlene at all, nor is there any interaction whatsoever between any of them and Judson. It could have been very interesting to see how the [[spoiler: first Librarian and Guardian]] greeted the idea of multiple Librarians, and even a little interaction between them all is rife with potential.
