The character of Tirek went through many revisions to make him look scary, but not frighten children. Storyboarding the episodes' battle scene was also difficult as the crew needed to correctly focus on the timing, gravity, and movement. The episodes garnered acclaim from critics, who praised the villain and themes. According to Nielsen household ratings, the first part had 677,000 viewers and the second part had 788,000 viewers.
