Clever and fun. My only suggestion would be if the new squares could have come in blank, giving us one last clue to solve.

I actually saw the movie "Friday" when it first came out, remember the line "bye, Felisha", but never knew it was a common thing. My favorite line from that movie is still "don't nobody go in the bathroom for about 35, 45 minutes"

From a major Trek fan, I absolutely loved this one. (As all Star Trek fans are also annoying nitpickers, the correct quote should be "I can't change the laws of physics..." *The Naked Time*) I do, however, empathize with those that don't like Star Trek out there on the difficulty on this one. I brace myself for the next puzzle where the theme is 2020s pop music or 19th century poetry.

I like groan inducing puns as much as any crossword fan, but 2 of these are going over my head today ARIA KIDDING: I get how this is a play on "are ya' kidding?" but what is the relationship with "what's opera, doc?" (Which I know is play on Bugs bunny's "what's up, doc"but how does that relate to "are you kidding?") SONATA THING: Is this a play on "so not a thing" (i.e. something lame or unfashionable)? If so, how does it relate to "je ne sais quoi" (to which I understand as being a very unique, difficult to explain quality). I think a punnier clue would have been something like "Haters of Beethoven's "Moonlight" piece"

Fun puzzle, especially after yesterday's unsolvable mess (for me, at least). Nice things I learned from today 1. Farrier (had no idea) 2. Surprised to find out that color TV was commercially available as early as 1953, but most color programs started in the 60s

I noticed all the starred clues were also regular words without the if, and or but. Except for CHER. Is that a word? In the dictionary, it only mentioned that it's a river in France.

Morning everyone. Can someone please explain how a "mini-brawl" is SETTO or SET TO? I thought that was my one error but I eventually figured out that I had spelled Hakeem's name wrong 😅

Bore up=LASTED? I don't quite see the connection. As in, "I don't know how I lasted all the way through "Cats" the movie" ?

Hi everyone. I enjoyed the wedding puns today, but I can't for the life of me see the gag with SOMETHING BOLD. What does "something old" have to do with weddings or is it something else? Can someone please help? Thanks.

Hi, everyone. Today, I learned another usage of the word moon! From MW Dictionary: moon 2 of 2 verb mooned; mooning; moons transitive verb 1 : to spend in idle reverie : dream —used with away mooned the afternoon away 2 slang : to expose one's naked buttocks to One of the boys mooned the crowd. However, I always thought the definitions were listed by most common usage to rarest usage. Or are slang usages always listed last? Or perhaps I'm just getting old and no one exposes one's naked buttocks anymore.
