Rueben’s Ramblings is celebrating its 10th Anniversary!!
In honor of that I decided to highlight some of the big events that took place during each year of the past 10 years.
Today’s salute is focused on 2015:
Some memorable shows that debuted during that year included:
* Marvel’s Agent Carter – This Marvel’s series may have only been on ABC for two seasons, but it sure was great seeing Hayley Atwell bring Peggy Carter to life (even more so than in the Captain America movies) and it was a thrill to see Enver Gjokaj as Daniel Souza;
* 12 Monkeys – Based on the box office movie, this Syfy series captivated viewers with its albeit complex storylines, time travel escapades and lots of intense action. Starring Center Stage alum Amanda Schull and Nikita alum Aaron Stanford, they took on the mantels of Dr. Cassie Rally and James Cole aplomb, making this a must-watch show for those who love sci-fi programming;
Thom Allison as Pree
* Killjoys – Speaking of sci-fi programming, this unique series about a group of bounty hunters in a world that is on the brink of an interplanetary war, thrilled with its action, kick-ass fight scenes, a talking spaceship and the one and only Pree (Canadian actor Thom Allison);
* Good Witch – The Hallmark Channel had aired 7 movies from The Good Witch franchise, leading up to the debut of the weekly TV series that was made possible as star Catherine Bell was finally available; her long-running series Army Wives came to an end. This feel-good show reflects life in the charming town of Middleton and the lives of the Merriwick women;
* Daredevil – This small screen adaptation of the Marvel character took the story in an even darker direction with Charlie Cox taking over the lead role of Matt Murdock and Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin;
* Dark Matter – Yet another Syfy series that was set in the future – this time a dystopian 27th Century – where six people wake up on a deserted spaceship with no memory of who they are or why they’re on that ship. They each take a number as their name (based on the order in which they awoke), and set out to learn the truth;
* Poldark – While many were going through Droughtlander (the over-extended time between new seasons of Outlander), this PBS series (originally aired on BBC One) helped fill the gap. It also helped that Brit hunk Aidan Turner took on the lead role of Ross Poldark, a soldier returning home after the American Revolutionary War only to find his love engaged to his cousin and his father gone;
* Supergirl – The third DC series to air on the small screen actually debuted on CBS (Arrow and The Flash were on The CW), and performed fairly well in the ratings for its first season, introducing Glee alum Melissa Benoist in the lead role of Kara Danvers (aka Supergirl), but it was pulled from CBS and moved over to The CW for its second season; and,
* Blindspot – The debut season of this unique NBC series focused on a mysterious woman, quickly monikered Jane Doe, who was found inside a large bag dumped in the heart of Times Square; her entire body was covered in tattoos and she had no memory. Every tattoo led to a major crisis within the city and around the globe.
The one ‘new’ show that SHOULD have been a hit, but crashed and burned was Heroes: Reborn – As TV viewers will recall the first season of Heroes – which debuted in 2006 – was a ratings juggernaut quickly becoming a massive hit; and 11 years later the hope was this reboot (so to speak) would repeat the success. Unfortunately, that was not the case despite all efforts made.
Among the shows that came to an end in 2015 included:
Falling Skies – After 5 seasons, the TNT thriller about the survivors of an alien attack on Earth came to a close with the remnants of civilization finally defeating the Espheni Queen (and with her death so too the death of all her minions).
Here is the final scene from Falling Skies:
There were also a couple big events that took place on the small screen including:
* Fitz and Simmons finally shared a kiss (or two) on Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – In the Marvel world, Fitz and Simmons were synonymously known as FitzSimmons; best friends and dedicated work partners, who after a lot of crazy experiences and even Simmons being trapped in a alternate reality to FINALLY share a kiss.
You can watch that scene here:
* Jon Snow died on Game of Thrones – It was rather unexpected (even for a show was volatile as this one), but to see the one and only Jon Snow stabbed to death by Alliser Thorne and several men of the Night’s Watch – after being labeled a traitor – was (at least for me) VERY hard to watch.
The site’s official photographer Dom attended that year’s ATX Festival in Austin, Texas where the much anticipated reunion of the cast of Gilmore Girls took place.
It was also in 2015 that Rueben’s Ramblings celebrated its first big milestone: its 5th Anniversary!
And the Broadway stage, and quickly the world, was overtaken by a little production from Lin-Manuel Miranda called Hamilton.
The top movie of that year was Jurassic World while some of the worst movies included Hot Pursuit, Get Hard and Mortdecai.
As I had been doing for years at this point, I would select performers of all walks of life (within the industry) to be part of my faces of the year and faces of the new year.
Some of the people I picked for 2015 included: Taron Egerton, Constance Wu, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Melissa Benoist, Scott Eastwood, Priyanka Chopra, Alex Roe, John Boyega and the cast of the then upcoming TV series Shadowhunters.

Thursday morning cast members Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan along with showrunner Matthew B. Roberts chatted with Antonia Blyth, Deputy Editor of Deadline’s Awards Magazine, after a virtual screening of the season finale of Outlander‘s current, 5th season [which aired on May 10].
If you watched that gripping season finale, you will know about the horrible assault perpetuated against Claire Fraser. The way the episode played out viewers was from Claire’s perspective both in real time – as to what was happening to her in – and in an disassociated state – where she escaped to a dreamscape where her family and, most importantly, her husband Jamie were there to protect her as much as possible until she could be rescued.
With that finale clearly in mind for the interview, Cait, Sam and Matthew were asked about how they prepared for that episode with Matthew sharing that they knew from the beginning of this season how they wanted it to come to an end so they sought out expertise from their consultants. Cait shared they knew they had to be careful with how they depicted the sexual abuse, and the trigger warnings at the beginning of the episode was also helpful in warning viewers.
As for the emotional scenes they had to depict, not just in the season finale, Cait and Sam stated that it was helpful to have a safe environment to work within, giving credit to everyone in front and behind the cameras. Cait further shared that as an actor you have to learn how to separate your own life from work; to be in character and deal with the dark places that you have to go, but to leave all of that at the door at the end of the day.
In breaking down the dreamscape of Claire’s disassociation, they all had to work together, they had to pick a very specific time period, the costumes, the music, the house, the color – all of that was key to making those scenes work as well as sharing a lot of discussions with Sam and Cait. Matthew said he was proud of how the episode turned out.
They were then asked about Jon Gary Steele, the production designer (the man behind all of the elaborate sets used on the show) since the first season – who announced he was leaving the series after five season. While his will be big shoes to fill, Cait, Sam and Matthew were asked if they had a favorite set created by Steele. For Sam it was the Great Hall at Castle Leoch in season one; Cait’s choice was Master Raymond’s apothecary. Matthew shared that there were so many to choose from but the Star Chamber in season 2 was a top choice for him, but he also liked the Boston apartment, Claire and Jamie’s home in France, even the Wilmington and Paris streets. He further stated that every drawer and cupboard was filled because you never knew what would be seen during filming. They all agreed that it was his attention to detail that really made the difference.
Cait was then asked about Claire’s medical background, and how she dealt with all of that. She stated that she did a lot of research into all of that – in fact, they all joked that she is practicing now. Then getting serious with her answer she shared that she watched a lot of YouTube videos – even falling into a rabbit hole when she researched the breech birth for season 1.
Sam was asked about getting into character for Jamie with all that happened in the current season – from him having to don the redcoat, losing Murtagh and not being able to protect Claire. He said Murtagh’s storyline, of course, was not in the books, but he raved about working with Duncan Lacroix, especially in those final scenes.
Both Sam and Cait agreed that they are protective of and bonded to their characters but they are not their characters; in fact, Cait joked that she doesn’t go around saying “Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ.”
They also talked about new costumer Trisha Biggar, who took over for Ronald D. Moore’s wife Terry Dresbach, who was the costume designer for the first 3 seasons of the show. Specifically asking if they had a favorite outfit from this season. Cait stated it was blue riding coat, the green suit that had a nautical feel to it and the red dress from the finale. For Sam it was the return of Jamie’s kilt, the long leather jacket from the finale and even the redcoat.
When asked about what they have learned from being on the show, Cait and Sam both joked “nothing and everything,” sharing they were both “green” when they started on the show. Cait said she learned a lot of “technical terms,” but they also learned how to trust themselves and allow themselves to be surprised.
Cait was later asked about working with Sophie Skelton (who plays her daughter Brianna), and she shared that she “loves when (she) and Sophie get to work together…and be supportive (of each other).” She further stated that there was such a gulf between Claire and Brianna in season two, that now in season five it’s so great that their relationship has shifted to the point that Brianna can be there for Claire.
Lastly, Sam and Cait were asked about what it was liked becoming producers for the 5th season, and they shared it’s been “fantastic to have (that) role, getting to have more input; learning a lot (about) putting the jigsaw puzzle (together). Sam stated that their influence (as producers) could be seen in the season finale. They both agreed that it’s been great to “take on more responsibility (to) grow and learn and be of benefit to the show.”
The primetime line-up on the major networks last night was filled with game shows, repeats and reality with four Thursday night dramas airing new episodes.
Here is how those four Thursday night dramas fared in the overnight ratings:
8 PM Shows: Council of Dads (NBC) [NEW] – 2.8 million viewers Burden of Truth (The CW) [NEW] – 514,000 viewers
9 PM Shows: Blindspot (NBC) [NEW] – 1.8 million viewers In the Dark (The CW) [NEW] – 437,000 viewers

Rueben’s Ramblings is celebrating its 10th Anniversary!!
In honor of that I decided to highlight some of the big events that took place during each year of the past 10 years.
Today’s salute is focused on 2014:
Some memorable shows that debuted during that year included:
* Chasing Life – This drama only aired for 2 seasons on ABC Family (now Freeform), starring Italia Ricci [who later starred in Designated Survivor and is married to Robbie Amell, current star of the Amazon Prime series Upload and star of last year’s movie Code 8, alongside his cousin Stephen Amell]. Ricci played April Carver, a talented young newspaper writer with big dreams whose life is turned upside down when she is diagnosed with leukemia. In what could easily have been a downer of a show was actually a touching series filled with love, family and friendship, and made all the better by Ricci’s moving performance;
* The Last Ship – On the opposite side of the scale was the TNT apocalyptic military drama that found McSteamy – Eric Dane from Grey’s Anatomy – at the helm of the U.S.S. Nathan James, a Navy missile destroyer, fighting to save the world after a catastrophic virus wiped out 80% of the world’s population (something that would be very scary to watch in 2020 given what is currently happening in the world);
* The Flash – It wasn’t easy to follow the success (at that time) of Arrow after two seasons, but The CW made the right decision by selecting Barry Allen and The Flash as the first spin-off from what would become a juggernaut franchise on the network. And, casting likable Grant Gustin in the lead role was even better;
* Jane the Virgin – Speaking of The CW, this U.S. version of the Venezuelan telenovela Juana la Virgen, was a breath of fresh air for the network that was known for its harder-hitting action-packed and/or thriller-laced dramas. It also helped that the charming and delightful Gina Rodriguez was cast in the lead role. She made the life of Jane Gloriana Villanueva very poignant and touching, and how many people just loved listening to the narrator during every episode!;
* The Librarians – Much like the made-for-TV movies from which it was based, Noah Wyle returned as Flynn Carsen, who oversaw a group of librarians (there were more than one now) tasked with saving mysterious and ancient artifacts. It also helped that the show featured Christian Kane (from Angel and Leverage fame), veteran actor John Laroquette and bombshell model-turned actress Rebecca Romijn as well as Canadian actress Lindy Booth and Aussie John Harlan Kim
* Outlander – Based on the popular novel by Diana Gabaldon, this series was basically 23 years in the making. Other versions were attempted, but nothing ever happened until Ronald D. Moore (the man behind the remake of Battlestar Galactica) brought the much-beloved novels – about a time-traveling World War II nurse who ends up in the 18th Century living alongside, and eventually falling in love, with hero Highlander Jamie Fraser – to the small screen, turning Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe into household names nearly overnight; and,
* The 100 – Much of the first season of this post-apocalyptic drama from The CW was very much like all the network’s other shows – a story of teenage angst – but, thankfully, it improved greatly as the debut season took hold, finding the show become a mixture of Lord of the Flies and the remake of Battlestar Galactica. The series was loosely based on the Kass Morgan novel of the same name that eventually became a gripping story of survival of the fittest.
A favorite show of mine – Warehouse 13 – came to an end in 2014. After 5 seasons on Syfy, the show about a massive, top-secret storage warehouse that held every strange artifact, mysterious relic, out-of-this-world object or supernatural souvenir ever found by the U.S. government – what was snagged, bagged and tagged by the warehouse “staff,” ended with a flashback-filled finale, showing the most important moments in each of the agents’ professional lives (scenes, in fact, we had never seen before) as well as an elaborate dance-spectacular for Claudia.
Among some of the big events that took place on TV in that year included the following:
Oliver finally kissed Felicity on Arrow – It took three seasons for Oliver to finally take the step, and while it wasn’t a happy ending – Felicity says, “I told you as soon as we talked it would be over,” and for awhile it was, but we finally got that kiss!:
Here is the video:
It was revealed that Grant Ward was actually working for HYDRA on Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – At the end of the first season it was revealed that Agent Ward, who was seen as the embodiment of the loyal American SHIELD agent was actually working for the organization enemy HYDRA. It was a big turning point for the show and the characters.
Richard Castle and Kate Beckett finally got married in 6th episode of season 7 of Castle – It took a long time for Caskett to become a legitimate couple, and an even more complicated way for them to get hitched – especially given the failed big wedding that was to take place – but they made it down the aisle in a very private ceremony, but they finally become husband and wife.
Supernatural aired its 200th episode titled “Fan Fiction” in 2014, which found the brothers investigating a haunting at a theatre where a musical about their lives was staged by an all-girl production. This episode was a love letter and thank you to the long-time fans, for sure.
Check out the video of the girls singing what became the unofficial theme song of the show “Carry On Wayward Son”:
It was in this year that the long-running PaleyFest, the annual two-week event honoring TV hosted by the Paley Center for Media, was moved to its largest location yet: the Dolby Theatre right in the heart of Hollywood.
For me, 2014 was an important year as I added to my staff: my good friend Dominick Dusseault joined as my official staff photographer; and that summer I attended the world premiere of the debut episode of Outlander at the San Diego Comic Con, getting to see the cast and creative minds in person as well as being enraptured by the pilot episode, and my getting a rare picture taken with a bunch of kilt-wearing hunks.
See the picture below, which is very atypical for me given my haphephobia (phobia over being touched):
The #1 movie in the world for 2014 was Guardians of the Galaxy while Veronica Mars – the box office movie – came out on March 14 (if only we knew what was set to happen next, right, fellow Marshmellows?!) while some of the worst movies that year included Transcendence, Tammy and A Million Ways to Die in the West.
Even a Firefly fan film was released that year; you can check out the video (fair warning it’s a little over 14 minutes long), below for “The Verse”:
It became a tradition for every year, when putting together my year-end round-ups, that I would select interesting people who were the faces of that year and those faces that people should be on the look-out for in the coming year.
Some of the people I picked for 2014 included: Caitriona Balfe, Margot Robbie, Ansel Elgort, Manish Dayal, Gina Rodriguez, Robin Lord Taylor, Ryan Guzman, Grant Gustin, Matt Ryan and Gal Gadot.
