Old Fandom New Again

mad_tea_partyGod bless Dean Devlin, TNT (I'll get to them later..lol), and the cast of the new Librarians series. I was really a bit skeptical when I heard the original cast was not returning outside of an occasional appearance from Jacob Stone. But, given this was Dean Devlin, and many of the same writers of the original, and the movies? I should have known better. Each of the new Librarians has a bit of the old characters in them, subtle as they are. And Vikram, Flynn's "replacement"? He is hilarious. Reminds me a bit of the Doctor from Doctor Who, but of course completely his own person, too.
There have been some bumps along the way. Namely the fact that TNT, who I am pretty sure is in charge of release, and time slot, made a major misstep. The night it was to premiere, the NBA finals were on. The second waeek? Same thing. Last week, my Guide said Finals. The actual channel had the episode on, but I didn't find out until it was 20 minutes into the episode. So for the third week, in a row, I had to watch it on DVR.
Look, I'm sure the way ratings are done now have changed, but as far as I knew? Channels watch viewership on the night it's airing. They may have started counting streaming, but that is another issue. Up until this week, you were only able to get the series either through Apple or Electric Now (Dean Devlin's production company's streaming service). Last night I was finally able to purchase it through YouTube, but damn. Way to send people into a panic and being inconveient on watch times.
And of course, this has been prodding my old Librarians muse, so now i've got an Aussie thief-Librarian chatting in my head again with his sexy accent and big ego. Wait till he meets Ziggy and Will. LOL. While i"m still very much here for Power Rangers, I am glad to have an old group of muses and a NEW group of muses from a fandom I've come to love. Well played, Mr. Devlin, well played.
