English term or phrase: Icy you
Hello everyone, and Happy New Year. This comes from a tech & science magazine where most of the articles have puns as titles.

The title of one of them is "Icy you", and the article itself deals with the applications of cryogenics in the world of medical and security imaging. I'm looking for a Spanish expression that preserves the pun with "ice" and "I see you".

Any ideas? TIA.

¿Lo tienes fríamente calculado?


Explanation:
Es del Chapulín Colorado. Podría servirte para compensar el hecho de que en español es imposible hacer el juego de palabras.

el espía que surgió del frío


Explanation:
Esta opción mantiene el juego de palabras con "frío" y también transmite la idea de que alguien te está observando, que te está escrutando, gracias a la palabra "espía".

Aunque reconozco que es un poco rebuscado.

También hay que tener en cuenta que es un título con derechos de autor, así que mejor ser muy precavido si usas esta opción.
