This show sparked some general conversation my way about Images of Librarians in Popular culture. We came up with some interesting ones and some that I hadn't come across and am now keen to investigate further. Myself, I have a very soft spot for Giles on Buffy - dry British humour, amazing tomes of mythology (some of it subversive which was hidden from the Watchers Council) and yet, somehow, he connected with the youngsters of Sunnydale High. I suppose it also helped that Anthony Stewart Head was easy on the eye...*to mine anyway* ;) And it amused me greatly that someone here decided to go looking for information, and of course, discovered an entry on Wikipedia actually called Librarians in Popular Culture.....
