Awaiting the beam... [Solved within 19 minutes of opening the puzzle. Darn timezones!]
... and I'm beamed at #154. Short wait at this time of day!

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!

Ah, perhaps life’s greatest mystery.
(Also solved this one pretty quickly.)

Solved and awaiting beam. Glad Alan was hanging out in the quiet halls of Discord… I just wasn’t seeing it. A cryptic comment on one of the entries was all it took… and waving me away from something I was sure was a nudge within the grid, based on its location and applicability to the themers.

Got to this one late, but enjoyed it. Solved and awaiting the beam!

There is a satisfying secondary tie-in going on "behind the scenes", so to speak.

Awaiting the transporter.
I know Matt said that week 2 is the hardest one for him to judge whether his puzzle really fits a "week 2" difficulty level. But I think this one hit the mark perfectly. (IMHO)

Beamed with a bump. I think this is one where it is pretty easy if you happen to see it and impossible if you do not. I created my own rabbit using what I thought was a direction on what to do in a place where I always look.

agree - also on the transporter pad
this one ... you stare at it, then you go "hey, waitaminute" and you work a bit and ... I had to backsolve one of the letters and found a mistake I'd made, very neat when it comes together.

Was nowhere, nowhere, nowhere...her wait a minute, OK that has to be it. Submitted, awaiting a beam on a rare solo solve.
EDIT: Landed in the bay at 284, just a little earlier and I would have had me a V8...

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!
