When it comes to whisky, I always spell mine without an —˜e’. Don’t get me wrong. I like bourbon. In fact, I love it. It’s great, but it isn’t —˜whisky’. It’s —˜whiskey’, the same way that Irish is. Only Scotch whisky (and some Canadian) is spelled —˜whisky’. So saying, …

Wow, that was a really great episode. It really took me for a ride and got me totally fooled. Many people did not like it since the team is really useless in the episode. There is no actual behavioural analysis and they are not getting into the mind of …
