One fun thing to watch for is reappearing actors. Much of the production team for Leverage continued to work on the Librarians, and since they found several actors they clearly enjoyed, there are a whole host of people who starred in both shows.

Richard Cox appears in the Leverage episode “The Homecoming Job” (Season 1, Episode 2) as Charles Dufort, the CEO of an unscrupulous defense contractor group called Castleman Security. He is involved with a dirty politician,  Congressman Jenkins, in order to steal 9 billion dollars of reconstruction money that the US sent to Iraq. (True story)

Charles Dufort: You know the great thing about Congressmen? 50, 100 grand well spent will get one elected. But then, once they're in, the incumbency rate is over 95%! So you can get on an average 18, 20 years use out of one of them. In these uncertain times, buying a United States Congressman is one of the best investments a corporation can make!

Alec Hardison: [listening in on surveillance] Oh, I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. I'm a professional criminal and I find that disturbing.

A few years later, Richard Cox was cast as the main villain of the Librarians season two, Shakespeare’s wizard Prospero from the Tempest. This powerful Fictional caught Ariel, a fairy, and uses her magic for his own ends, and also summoned several other characters from literature to help him bring out his plan to change the world, including James Moriarty from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Frankenstein’s Monster from Frankenstein, and the Queen of Hearts from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. He appears in The Librarians Season 2, Episodes 1, 2, and 10.
