I warned you I'd do this!
But don't worry. Just have fun and don't take it seriously.
Nudge 1: Considering the theme is "The Sea" there sure isn't much about the sea in this puzzle
Nudge 2: Maybe all mentions of the theme have been deliberately omitted
Nudge 3: So put the mentions back in....
Nudge 4: It's a meta. So go meta-ing.
Nu…

Order? I'm out of order? You're out of order! This whole [#four-letter word#] puzzle is out of ..... alignment

So I figured this one may be hard but I hope it has a good AHA moment and then (if you remember that this is a standard meta with usual metaisms) you can real it home safely. Once you get the aha, that's where all the difficulty is.
I thought of…
I came across a mention of Maurice Sendak's "Where the Wild Things Are" and thought it'd be a great title for a meta. I think the mechanism is standard but has a slightly original twist to it. But the grid fought me all the way.
So. LET THE…

Interior? Exterior? Whatever. The title's not going to give any hints.

Okay. Although the grid might be weird, I really think this ought to be a Week 1.
EDIT: Wow! This is playing harder than I would have thought possible. But I'm not changing my evaluation of it being a week 1.
Nudges: Do I really need to give…
This came about as a snide joke by Dr. Tom. I was nitpicking a matter of measuring distances by the Pythagorean Theorem as is my wont. As it was tedious and pointless, I joked that my next meta would be about .... and ....; two things cliched for…
This began as one of those challenges to self constructions. The answers rather obscure and at first I figured nobody (but Mikey G and Benchen) could possibly get it. But when I wrestled with how to do it, I think I included enough clues to figure…
If we can't figure the theme to this meta let's table it for the time being
