It doesn't officially premiere until August, but AMC aired a sneak preview of the entire pilot for the conspiracy thriller Rubicon on the heels of last night's superlative Breaking Bad finale.  But in case you missed it, AMC wants to make sure you get a chance to check it out: the network has posted the entire episode online, and will rerun it periodically throughout the week.

I really liked the episode --- it appealed to the math geek in me.  So if there's a speck of math geek in you, if you like the slow-burn thrillers of the seventies, or if you're bit of a conspiracy nut, you can find the online edition of the premiere episode of Rubicon after the jump.
