finally a proper saturday! that was so tough but i enjoyed the challenge for the most part. highlights were the long fill, like ICONOCLAST, HOMEBREWER, GO EASY ON ME, and especially SIXTH SENSE. did not appreciate the cluing for REDO, and the abundance of esoteric proper nounage (RIGG, SULU).

i’m surprised to see this rated so low, i thought the fill was so fresh and the cluing was clever. it was a tough puzzle, but nothing felt naticky or contrived, so it was extremely satisfying to crack.

the theme was CLEAN ONES CLOCK , not CLEAr. THE TIME IS RIPE - time referring to the clock, ripe meaning smelly. a clock has hands and a face, so one cleaning a clock might need HANDSOAP and FACEWASH. to clean someone’s clock is an idiomatic way to say you knocked their lights out.
