I really liked the inclusion of shading for the theme answers. While I appreciate that some would have preferred a harder solve via s lack of shading, this one had way too much trivia (proper names) for me to solve without the help of shading. KLINGON LINGO gave me the theme and was fun. I also enjoyed all the misdirects, like UNCORK for getting into a cab. Thank you. Fun.

“They’re he-ere!” Cute. Very cute.

I enjoyed this one. It had its twists and turns, and bumps (or was that a hOle) in the road, but felt satisfying in the end. Thank you!

I loved this one, especially the clever puns. I really enjoyed the lack of arcane proper nouns - I like being educated by crosswords, but not overwhelmed like some do. Thank you for a fun and moderately challenging solve. It was “just right.”

I struggled a lot on this one, even on the ones I finally figured out. A lot of names I’d never heard of. Ultimately, I cheated by looking at the Tricky Clues. Still a fun puzzle and I enjoyed the unexpected misdirections, like dia de los muertos spirit.
