This was an excellent puzzle. It is filled with excellent entries - DOPESLAP, ACTNORMAL, DATAPOINT (One of many in a trend line), ATOMICAGE (Period satirized in "Dr. Strangelove"), AHAMOMENT (Flash point?), REGNANT (Like Queen Elizabeth, but not Queen Camilla), NOCANDO ("Your request is denied"). So much EPICNESS! 

I feel like I almost don't want to say any more about this one so that you can enjoy doing it yourself. I've already said too much!
