- GoofsAt least in the Spanish translation says: "Phi is the ratio between radius and perimeter of a circumference. This is called the golden ratio." They have confused Phi with Pi, which are total different numbers. The golden ratio is (1+sqrt(5))/2 = 1.618... while Pi = 3.1415...

Featured review
This Guy STINKS
Most annoying, insufferable, agitating, boring, over-acted, dialogue-burdened UnSub ever. Jason Alexander is great when he's in his element but this? This is the opposite of his element. I want to talk to whoever designed his characters because it' has embarrassed me. There's nothing that could make me look at all 5'5" of Jason Alexander and his long Kentucky Fried Chicken mane and say "Yeah this guy is interesting". If anything, looking at him made me instantly want to forget him.
If you were to try and pay me $10k (which I am in desperate need of for my debts) to sit, watch, and feign interest in this episode, I know that I wouldn't be able to do it. I'd rather be evicted and homeless than consider even gazing at Jason Alexander in this state of mess. I'll eat one of Jordan Todd's eyes before I'd want to watch this. If there was somehow water in this episode and I was dying of thirst, you have to force me take a sip. I would still execute you before then and gladly die of dehydration.
I cannot stress how much this episode, which could have been decent without the unfortunate and easily forgettable mishap that happened in the costume department, has given me small and painful heart attacks during rewatches because I didn't skip it fast enough and had to think of Jason Alexander's hair.
Now, I'm very generous when I rate episodes. If I enjoyed it, I give it an immediate 6/10. If I liked it then 7/10. If I was enraptured, 7/10. If I loved it, 8+/10 depending on Matthew Gray Gublers hairstyle in the episode. This episode could not be saved. It's like a Kennedy.
I've kept it light on the characters dialogue so far because if we got a more intimidating or even just a taller actor for this role and less Spirit Halloween wigs then the script wouldn't be so bad. But I will say, ew. If I had the chops and wasn't overburdened with the disease that makes me add too many commas,,,,,I'd rewrite every ounce of dialogue. And maybe write out Rossi from the rest of the show just for the hell of it.
Listen, I'm here to tell you that I hated this episode and vent a little because after, what, almost 15 years, I have to speak on the matter that I have contributed to the loss of my happiness, loss of my career (I am 22), and loss of my wife (I am 22). That's all.
2/10.
Edit: I said Spirit Halloween wig because I was mad but I have to be honest and say that his wig was laid. And Matthew Gray Gubler had cute hair so 3/10.
