- CuriosidadesThe flight number was Oceanic 815. This is the same flight name as the plane that crashes in Perdidos (2004).
- PifiasThe episode depicts a poor image of the city state of Singapore. The opening image looks nothing like Singapore - there are no prominent hills, no major slums, there should be many high rise buildings. Singapore means the "Lion City", not Where there is a sea, there are pirates". Characters mispronounce Singaporean names. Changi Airport, one of the cleanest globally, looks nothing as depicted. Singapore was not exactly built from a fishing village, nor is it fully of poverty. Conversely, it industrialised well, is ultra rich though there is inequality. Geylang is not a hub for trafficking and its image looks more like Bedok. Hawkers hardly cook on the streets which is illegal and the police is called the SPF not PD. Furthermore, there are no Malays and Indians or Eurasians and the SPF officer does not speak like a Singaporean. SPF officers also communicate in English not Chinese. The whole cast were not filmed on site in Singapore.

Reseña destacada
Was there any research done?
Criminal minds: beyond borders would be a good show if done well. They could really expand their popularity/reach if the episodes were done well. Unfortunately this episode came off as a badly researched, poorly portrayed stereotype of Asian culture.
First of all, Singapore ISN'T PART OF CHINA. The whole episode made Singapore seem like some seedy Chinatown. The actor playing the policeman they work with is from Hong Kong, and doesn't bother trying to use the Singaporean accent. And in what universe would a Singaporean policeman use mandarin to speak to his colleagues in front of the Americans??
Other plainly stupid portrayals I took umbrage with: 1) How did the stewardesses end up on the belt? In Singapore, all stewards and stewardesses have to wait for their luggage with the rest of the public (their bags come out first though). They have no access to the cargo otherwise.
2) The opening quote is not a Singaporean proverb. What?! It's a Greek proverb and doesn't mean what the show's owner thinks it is. The last time Singapore had pirates was practically in ancient times. Did the show writers just google "ancient Singapore" and find the first quote about pirates? Absurd.
3) Our legal system doesn't just presume guilt. Also, if anything, foreigners get more lenient sentences. Michael Fay didn't get caned for just a drunken disorderly; he was punished for vandalism of and stealing public property. And what's with "Singapore doesn't differentiate murder based on motivation"??? Singapore may not have first-third degree murders, but we have our own classification that does differentiate.
4) Of course, the infamous "chewing gum is illegal, in case you didn't know". That's outdated information. Just a simple google search could show the writers that. It's illegal to import it for retail (except nicotine or dental gum), but you can easily bring in your own gum to chew (bought from other countries) and you'll be fine.
5) what's with the dumb soundtrack? Again, it makes it sound like Singapore is part of China. What nonsense. Singapore has 3 other official races.
This was highly disappointing, especially as a huge fan of the original Criminal Minds. /: They could have dispelled all those stupid mistakes by just speaking to one Singaporean person. Or maybe their whole stupid plot would have fallen apart if they did that.
