Rubicon: was it just a figment of my imagination?


That lucky number: 13 episodes was all we got, but those 13 episodes were some of the best television I have seen in the past 20 years.

The series subsequently faded from collective memory save for a handful of obsessives who soon began to sound like Rubicon characters whenever they talked about the series.
I was one of those obsessives. I lived and breathed this show when it aired, and I was distraught when it wasn't picked up for another season.

Whilst the ending is very much a cliff into the abyss I don't think I'd want to have it any other way. I'm free to formulate my own opinions and ideas about how things end. But dammit, I would have loved to see Will Travers pull the veil back on API.

I'm glad that it finally got pulled out of the AMC vault last year. Because for a moment there I was beginning to question if Rubicon was a even real show...or if I had just imagined it after all.
