Beamed aboard. Solved the grid as fast as I could as soon as I got it, got the meta like 10 seconds after solving, and still only 25th. :) :)

Beam me up!

Thought I moved fast, but I won't even be in the top 40.

Done. I am liking the pace this month - perhaps week 5 won't be completely hopeless.

Upbeamed. And I didn't even have to look at a map!

Even when they're obvious, I like the phrases Matt comes up with for the long entries.

Agree. Like names for emo bands.

Beam me up! Got to the puzzle first thing (usually I don't, 9 AM isn't the best time to take a work break) and still only hit #66. I'll never be a speed solver but I'm O.K. with that :-)

The title seems a little strange. Is there a cleverness I'm missing? (Spoiler tags or PM if so, please.)

I didn't get it either. Maybe we should suggest alternatives. Mine would be. . .
All Caps
or
Inner City

They're obvious, but this meta wasn't going to stump anyone anyway.

Wonder Twins, engage!

On the beach with the rest of you ... submitted, not yet on the board, but ... really, no question here of the answer.

OK, but next week I've got dibs on the electric shaver.
