Solved! Now back to the WSJ...
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta! :shock:

Well, solved but still don't know what some of the answers to the clues mean? I t was a nice AHA but even knowing what 56D is I don't know what 56D is. Must be too old for this crowd (although they did use Velvet Fog so....)
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

Solution (briefly):

There are 5 short across answers that contain ME under the theme entries: TIME TAMERS MEH MME TORME. Look at the letters directly over each ME. They spell UNDERSTAND, which is the answer.
