What a strange mess this episode is! At least the usual planet set has been spiced up a bit, but what a plot! A mysterious ice princess thaws out of a rock, and she's being pursued by a silver-colored Mexican bandito. Does this make any sense at all? Apparently, he's trying to extort ransom money from her abduction, but the LOS crew (minus John/Maureen/Penny) thwart him at every turn. At the end, she merely raises her arms and teleports herself back to her planet, thus rendering the entirety of the action a waste of time. Will asks the question that was probably asked by the producer when he read the script, and which every viewer is now asking: "If she could do that, why didn't she just do it earlier?" He gets a non-answer from the Robot, thus admitting the giant plot hole.
Another amazing bit of idiocy is that the Robot can become drunk if someone pours alcohol into his system. It's a great gag but totally out of character (like the robot falling in love a few episodes earlier). Don and Judy, left more or less by themselves, continue to act as brother and sister without a hint of romance.
Gerald Fried becomes the fourth composer commissioned to write a new score for season 3, and as with the three previous, it's a lightweight bit of fluff with virtually nothing that can be used in succeeding episodes. (There's a parody of Khachaturian's "Sabre Dance" during a fight between Don and Chavo, and some faux-Mexican themes.)
Another dud, as season three descends into darkness.
