Yomiko Readman, meet Flynn Carsen
USA Today reports of "The Librarian, an "action-adventure hero" named Flynn Carsen, whose job involves "protecting mythological items, including Excalibur and the Ark of the Covenant, in a repository beneath the New York Public Library." Carsen is played by Noah Wyle, who surely doesn't mean to offend geeks everywhere when he says "Instead of having the protagonist be a cool, dashing, heroic type, he's more of a brainiac."
What, you can't be a brainiac AND be cool, dashing and heroic?
Also, this reeks-of-failed-pilot-TV-movie smacks far too familiarly (is that a word?) of R.O.D.'s premise. Let's hope Carsen doesn't unexpectedly develop the powers of paper manipulation besides his apparently supernatural mastery of the Dewey decimal system (the way they hype this up it's like the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle of library organization. Folks, it's not that hard. Unless of course you've never even been in a library.)
