PUZZLE #308: Zigzagnut 6

PUZZLE #308
ZIGZAGNUT 6

The numbered clues are for the zigzags, which work their way down through the diagram in the outlined areas. The "Rows" clues are for the answers, two per row, to be entered straight across each row in the diagram, but to make things harder, you don't know which specific rows the answers will go into! (Though the answers in the rows themselves are in the correct order)

This week's FINAL ANSWER consists of the two numbered answers with no clues (#5 & #17) that combine to make up a two-word phrase


ROWS (in random order; each contains two answers)
• Saw an entire season of Stranger Things all at once, say
  Join the Navy

You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or get a hint from me in exchange for a "hint star"; more details for that are on the sidebar to the right) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle, if you haven't already figured it out.
