The plot is to steal caviar...never cared for it myself

7.0

"Good"

By XMLarry, May 14, 2006

As usual, Anne Baxter (in her second villaness role in the series; she was Zelda the Great in the first season) is charming as the Queen of the Beserovian Cossacks, but that's about it for this otherwise uninteresting episode. How poor Vincent Price got himself into the role as Egghead is beyond me. The "caviar" that Batgirl almost drowned is was actually diced Jello; not sure which would have been worse, to be honest. The mention by Chief Ohara at the end of them not wanting to go into the paddy wagon instead of wanting to was a reference to the ealier episode in which Egghead tries to hatch a dinosaur.moreless

NOTES (5)
ADD NOTES
- According to one interview, Vincent Price called his time on the Batman series one of the most fun acting roles he ever had.
  EDIT SHARE
- Some footage used in "The Ogg Couple"'s teaser sequence is cribbed from Episode #1705-Pt. 2, "How to Hatch a Dinosaur."
  EDIT SHARE
- This was originally planned as a third installment for episodes #102/#103 (all were shot together over nine days), but rather than have ABC air another 3-parter, the producers split up the episodes.
  EDIT SHARE
- Egghead declines from a strong second season villain to a whiney brat!
  EDIT SHARE
- The final appearance of both the late Anne Baxter as Olga, Queen Of The Cossacks, and the late Vincent Price as Egghead.
