The Librarians Season 3 Episode 4 "And the Self-Fulfilling Prophecy" Review

After seeing a vision of her own death at the hands of a supernatural assassin, Baird attempts to stop the deadly prophecy from coming true.

This was a really great and interesting episode that had some twists to it and was really fun to watch. I really liked the idea at the beginning of this episode where the group wakes up and can't remember anything of what happened to them. The beginning scene where they were at the pizza place seemed a little weird because they could have gone anywhere and they chose to have the first encounter with the reaper be there. I really liked all the planning and explanation around the prophecy glass and cubes that were kind of cool to see that amount of detail in it. It was really weird how they used the prophecy glass however because they seemed to jump from not wanting to use it to using all the time to see what was behind the next door. Then I might have missed it but it really seemed like Cassandra just disappeared when they were at the pool and showed up again back at the Library. And I kind of wish they would have done a bit more with the side characters in this episode instead of them being more or less  like shadows to the rest of the group. I did really like that they brought up the fact that one of the side characters used the word prophecy glass before ever being told what that was, and leaving that as little clues to the truth. I did really love all the greek mythology throughout this episode connecting everything together. All the moments with Jenkins in this episode were really great to watch and see how his age or immortality fit into solving or creating problems in this episode. The hourglass was also really cool to watch Baird use it to help her in making life or death decisions because she can't die until the hourglass runs all the sand. And just overall this was a really great and interesting episode that was really a lot of fun to watch.
