What phrase, formed from two grid entries, could be a seventh theme entry?

Fun puzzle this week. Last week was a big DNF for me - I'm just not that well-read.

Initially went one way, but quickly corrected course to the proper solution.

Finally one I could get all by myself.

Very easily solved, but a fun gimmick nonetheless.

Got it. Reminiscent of a WSJ from the not-so-distant past.

Fun one! I toughed out the grid without Google, still don't understand 30A.

Got it. Agree: fun and easy. Nice to have that, after some of the recent mind-benders.

Yes, easy and fun. With fireball being a meta this week and a week 3 from Matt we needed an easy one

In math, a "sequence" is just a list of elements, which might be numbers, and a "series" is a summation of elements. 33+2+9+11 is a finite series, and 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + . . . is an infinite series.

It's the distinction between 2, 5, 6, 11, 16 and 2+5+6+11+16.

I think I got it, though I am not familiar with the phrase that my two words formed.

I appreciated not having to twist my brain over this one!

Decided to take this one on after seeing that it was pretty simple. Found my way to the answer

This one was as easy as last week's was tough. Both WSJ & PGW gave us an easy one this week.
