I’m all up in my feels about The Librarians today. I had a relatively major but quite common abdominal surgery three weeks ago. Wednesday night I woke up bleeding profusely and had to go back into hospital (where I still am but hoping to be discharged) and have a semi-emergency surgery to fix it.

Obviously there was no time to prepare for this trip. It was an out of the house to the Emergency Room at 4am job. I get easily over stimulated (autistic) and at one point I was put on a ward and it was all too much and I was sobbing. I promised myself when I got home I would watch the Librarians as that always makes me happy.

The hospital wi-fi then proved capable of accessing a stream so I watched an episode in small chunks. Even though I like it any input can be too much input and so I had to take breaks. But it brought me so much comfort. It made me smile for a second and just that is what TV should do. I mean I totally get TV should do other things too because of course it should. I’m not lessening the importance of other emotions. What I mean is there should always be some options out there of TV that is just a comfort.

It stands in stark contrast to the recent example of Picard which used to make me happy (not Librarians level because Trek encompasses many emotions but happy), and last season it was actively making me miserable instead. I mourn that to be honest.

Anyway with the mooted Librarians revival I am so hopeful (and also quite a lot scared) as I desperately hope that the new show conjures the same emotions of comfort as the original. As from my recent experience I just do feel that the world could do with a little more happy-making comfort stuff. It could do with more Librarians.
