[Insert Catchy Title Here]

I am Shye, God of Calamities. Full of love, spite, and terrible advice. A slut for well-pronounced Legal Latin. Current Icon: by Inber

Alright…ep 1 is queued up (and probably all I’ll get through tonight, but the rest will be this weekend).

I am not sorry for the Woman I am about to become.

For spoilers, or because it’s annoying, you can filter “Shye watches The Witcher” and “The Witcher season 3 spoilers” as well as the general tags.



9 People You’d Like to Get to Know Better

I was tagged by the lovely @exlibrisfangirl, even though I think she knows me pretty well by now, so let’s play!

Last Song: “Extraordinary Things” by Joey Batey

Currently Watching: The Witcher Season 3, as evident by my posting, and my song choice. Also I don’t know if it counts but I’ve been skipping though parts and scenes of S1 of TUA again for writing purposes.

Currently Reading: The Three Musketeers. I might add a second book though, because as much as I adore this story, I am utterly floored by my own ability to have read it in 7th grade. Good god, it goes on.

Current Obsession: I am Jaskier trash, and proud of it. Also been replaying Dragon Age: Inquisition and it’s taking up an unfortunately large part of my brain.

can you guys believe the librarians franchise is coming back

WHAT

It’s a new show with new main characters BUT it’s going to include the old characters when it can. It’s very obvious that this show is being constructed the same way the original show was: Noah Wyle couldn’t be the main character off the bat because he was busy filming Falling Skies, so they created new characters to hold down the fort while he’s off screen to set the stage for him to return more often when he has a free schedule like he does in the last half of the show. 

This new show is being started when all of the cast of the old show are booked and busy right now on other projects. The new characters are being brought in to hold down the fort until their schedules are free, just like how the new characters in the old show where used. They wrote the characters, setting and plot around Noah’s schedule on Falling Skies to accommodate him being part of the show even if he couldn’t be there much for the first two season. History is repeating itself, and i’m excited because these people are good at writing characters we love and I cant wait to meet more.

On one hand this is such exciting news (especially since I did a series rewatch recently), on the other hand I have a few questions because when in 2024 are they planning on releasing the series?

Especially with the writers and actors being on strike now, are they going to be hiring scab writers and actors to work on the project? The people involved in the original series, many of them are part of both unions so I’m curious because I’m very excited for new Librarians material but many people I know who love the series wouldn’t want to support a project that’s being created by scabs.

Now if they decided to produce the show in 2024 and then release later in 2024 that could avoid some of these issues but I don’t want new Librarians stuff at the expense of all the writers and actors who are fighting for their fair labor rights rn.

I have the same concerns but from what I’ve seen the initial concept was created before this all happened and there hasn’t been any sign of it being in production beyond the initial premise. I assume they are waiting for this all to get properly handled but time will tell 

Given that Dean Devlin and John Rogers (the shows creators) are members of the WGA and have posted on their own social media in support of the strikes, and union in general in the past (not to mention they had an amazing pro-union episode of Leverage, and have never pulled punches on including their personal politics/opinions in that show), I would put a high-stakes wager that the project is on hold until the negotiations are resolved for both unions.

UNLESS they decide to make it exclusively through Electric Entertainment (the production company owned at least in part by Dean) for their proprietary streaming app, or as movies for theatre-only release. In which case, from my understanding, as an independant production they could apply for strike waivers if both the WGA and SAG-AFTRA certify that the company and the individual production contracts are compliant with the unions’ demands. But I don’t think that will happen. It would be a risky and expensive endeavor, and would likely have a much smaller budget to work with, which is a serious burden for a show that relies on a lot of effects, like The Librarians.

Listen, I understand that “they changed it, now it sucks” is the battle cry of the internet.

But if you’re writing an listicle about why a tv show is bad compared to its source books… (I am going to write a counter-list of the issues with common complaints but it’s too long, so now it’s under a cut. The short version is “you need to remember it’s a different type of storytelling, you’re boring, and I hate you.”)

Nancy this is literally your exact phone in a different color why did your brain jump to “charge it using pennies and oranges” and not “oh sweet let me grab my charger from my bag”

I feel like at this point we have enough evidence to determine that Nancy, inexplicably, does not travel with a phone charger
