Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJacob (Michael Massee) has a tattoo on his right arm, a heart with Sarah Jean's (Jeannetta Arnette) name, beneath it are the words: "Til Death Do Us Part."
- GoofsThis show is based at a state prison in Bradford County, Florida just outside of Starke. This area of Florida is about 138 feet above sea level; however as the team is driving to the prison in the opening scenes, a very large mountain range can be seen in the distance through the windows of the SUV. The Bradford County area is rather lush and green due to the abundance of fresh spring waters, the area around the prison has cattle fields, wooded areas as well; however as the SUV is driving into the prison, not only is the mountain range in clear view, but tumbleweeds are blowing across the road from a field with dead, brown grass.
- Quotes
Jason Gideon: Albert Pine said "What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains, and is, immortal."
Featured review
striking performances
From what I've watched so far, Criminal Minds is a mediocre program overall. It's something that's good to watch, when you have nothing else to do. I don't doubt it could get better, but for now (well up to this episode) it's just a plain Jane - there's nothing that would make me recommend it to all my friends, but I have no reason to dismiss it and never watch it again.
However, I do believe this episode, "Riding the Lightening" to have been a flash of something beautiful in all that is plain. As a viewer, I was finally able to connect with a character on amazing amount of levels - something I've found until now was very lacking in this show. This is a very beautiful episode, there are a lot of questions raised, a very powerful story is told, and it made me cry, a lot. And due to the emotional experience i had watching it, I would very much recommend the episode. Happy viewing!
