One of the key reasons why THE SOPRANOS, THE WIRE, and to a lesser extent ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK are great shows is that they cast for authenticity and gambled, successfully, that it would offset the actors' inexperience.

The problem is, of course, that he's the only one doing it, so the rest of the cast (except for Paul Schneider, in a small part), including some good actors, all seem phony. Should've had the balls to surround Clarke with nothing but local hires.

Most of all, it's just the idea that the professional role of a librarian is now to act as an intervening force between a knowledge-seeker and the garbage process that's spewing out sludge instead of knowledge, instead of just getting rid of the fucking AI and letting librarians do their ACTUAL job.
