![]() Agree any local police might not take too seriously a short disappearance of 2 adults, especially young ones. It's a matter of Karma, Khun Jai Dee (good heart), so even if they are not pleased with you, they do smile as not doing so reflects badly on THEM. Thais don't smile? It's the "Land of Smiles". Even if the US Embassy didn't have an available vehicle (they would), Thailand does have car rental companies, with SUV's even. (Note that the police cars shown are left hand drive, but the one "stock" shot of country road traffic shows vehicles driving on the left as they really do). The left hand drive American car they brought VERY DANGEROUS when you want to pass on a two-lane road. But they have to bring their own vehicles? Very INCONVENIENT in Thailand where it's right hand drive (they drive on the left side of the street, so steering wheel is on the right hand side). Good for an (unintentional) comedy: What? They can't take a commercial flight but bring their own plane (my tax dollars at work?) Maybe a precursor to the Marvel: Agents of Shield plane. It's more thought provoking and way smarter. Why waste 20 hours of flight home when the next day you might have to fly there again? I think I'll stick with the original Criminal Minds. Now we need the Americans to fly all the way down to save just normal American folk? They should not fly home, because I think at any minute, another American might just be in trouble in that same big country. So only Americans can solve crime, only Americans can save the day? That big country has no intelligence, no education to do their own profiling and figure out their own crimes. Somewhere along the line, this is going to become offensive. It's also such a bad idea to make this global. That is why the inside jokes don't fly, because we don't care. They would have been better off starting as a new team who doesn't knew each other and develop it from there, rather than having preexisting relationships that we are just supposed to immediately believe. They try to show chemistry immediately with one another but it just isn't there. My first take for Beyond Borders is that I don't really care about the characters. I watched it because Criminal Minds have a special place in my heart, the characters are amazing, the stories are full of heart and I always root for them to save the day. I think just being a spin off can't possible give it any boost.
