Beam me up! Clever, and easier than the WSJCC (also Matt's) this week--he even says so on his site.

I've been on a roll this week, so I was just a *tiny* bit disappointed not to get a real Week 5 today. But then I remembered last week, and I'm not complaining.

Done, submitted and confirmed. Now back to his WSJ puzzle which is proving to be quite a puzzler for me this week.

What a relief! Not a week 5 difficulty and I have my weekend!

Thanks for the easy Week 5, Matt. It makes up for that monster from last week.

Quick solve, but a fun and funny puzzle. Thanks Matt for giving me a free Super Bowl weekend.

Very fun puzzle and I appreciated the easiness because I’m traveling and had to do it on my phone, which I’m not very good at. I actually had the answer less than a quarter of the way through the grid. I don’t think I’m going to be able to get Matt’s WSJ meta this weekend though.
Edited to add: My first post-enlightenment! After posting here I took another look at the WSJ and saw the rabbit ears immediately.

There is not a single thing I could say about this amusing puzzle, and my effort to solve it, that would not be a spoiler.

Got it! Cute. Another one where the answer is a no-doubter, but I expect there will still be some debate about the mechanism.

Beam me up!
Amusing. Nice, too, to have a not-so-hard one, after last week's MGWCC.
I'm still feeling guilty about taking a pretty big hint from another solver last week. I feel like I don't deserve my current MGWCC streak!

found this week's solution as well - what a relief after last week's MGWCC which had me going in circles endlessly.
hoping now for some post-enlightenment for WSJ just like Leslie says she got in her post above

I’m feeling the same way Chris. I did my first group solve last week and don’t feel right about it.ChrisKochmanski wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 5:54 pm Beam me up!

Yay, my mojo has not totally deserted me. Had this one figured out before finishing the grid. Beam me up, please.
