A clean, fun puzzle today - ASEXPECTED from Ms. Weintraub. Filled with clever clues - "Concrete example of rotational forces and fluid dynamics?" (CEMENTMIXER) - and tasty fill - ONIONRINGS (Sides of circles?) ... YOUGETTHEIDEA.
The paired clues of "Titular female Disney character whose name also appears in a Shakespeare play" (ARIEL) and "Titular male Shakespeare character whose name also appears in a Disney film" (TIMON) were lovely. "Literary bird with a one-word vocabulary, apparently" (RAVEN) was near and dear to my heart. And "Sci-fi remakes?" (CLONES) was cute.
I wanted "free" for "One of two for one" (HALF), and I think I dropped in "Takeaminute" before changing to THINKITOVER for "No need to respond right now," but not much else held me up in this smooth, fun, free-flowing grid. A-plus.
