    Please explain REEXAMINATION21AKing is filled with energy before a minion takes in a tertiary ruler for a second look over (13)[-------------]. I got the word but can't see why. I liked the laser disc and the Midsummer night clues.

      King (rex) is filled with energy (turns into reEx) before a (reexa) minion takes in a tertiary ruler (min[A,T]ion) for a second look over (reexamination)

      ISTM "laser disc" is (5, 4) not (9) ?

        The official namebrand things I found all had it as one word (albeit with the L and D capitalized), so I figured I'd do the same, although I agree it's a bit confusing

          Indeed, LaserDisc -- all one word.
