[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 344523, member: 23"] At this point in my rewatch, I found the new villains such as Marsha more interesting than the established because their M.O. was less established and it somehow felt a little less formulaic and perfunctory. What made this episode most interesting for me was knowing that Otto Preminger is said to have been [URL='https://www.66batmania.com/bios/villains/mr-freeze-otto-preminger/']extremely unpopular on set due to his treatment of others[/URL]. It was apparently bad enough that (very minor possible spoiler) [ISPOILER]he was not asked to return for a second two-parter already written for him.[/ISPOILER] This was one of the soapiest episode, right down to the will they/won't they? cliffhanger. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I've never really thought about it since I first watched when I was so young I just accepted whatever was on screen. By this point they're simply an integral feature of the series for me, so it's fascinating to get a different viewpoint on them. By the way, there's a bit of a retcon later in Season Two which is window-cameo-related. I'll be interested to see if you spot it. [/QUOTE]
