But then, as I rotated gloopily to check out the scene, who did I see next? Let's just say when your archenemy's trapped you in a place of certain death, and you've survived heroically against all the odds, the last thing you want to see, when you escape at last, is that same archenemy glaring down at you with an expression of annoyed distaste. (Even a different archenemy would have been marginally better.)
