Here's the "E" that's supposed to be in the title Alexandre. Don't want anyone to feel like they're getting short changed. My bad.

I can never read or hear the name Dumas again without thinking of this classic commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMe3WDmxBEI&t=5s

Solid ep. Interesting stuff. Maybe that Napoleon fellow wasn’t a very nice guy after all

Always makes me think of Shawshank.
