Loved today's puzzle! It was challenging in all the right ways (making you think hard to get the trick, rather than perplexing with obscure references), which made it all the more satisfying to crack.
So clever and so much fun to solve! I agree with other commenters who have said that this is one of their favorite Sunday puzzles of all time. I literally “whooped” when I realized that I was going to be solving for palindromes.
@HeathieJ There was always a quicksand trap in shows in the 70s, like the Six Million Dollar Man. I was unreasonably afraid of it as a kid too.
@Paul R Absolutely agree on the overabundance of pop culture clues today. I greatly prefer clues that make me think, reason them out, and then enjoy that wonderful sizzle when I finally get them. When my streak does get ruined, it's usually by some trendy show or popstar that's all the rage with the kids but couldn't interest me less.
