Quickies: The Resurrection

[Zag]

I liked that one, too. I have no problem with just 'dinosaur' for Rex (considering the movie), nor with 'Hollywood' for 'LA.' It even gives you the hint to think about movies.

The one I have the biggest issue with is BEDROCK, partly for the same reason as novice but also because a double definition loses something if the two definitions are already related. In this case "Fred's city" (which I would have liked better than "imaginary city") is named for the same meaning of the word you are cluing with 'foundation,' so you aren't really getting two different words being defined. However, these are far enough apart that it was acceptable.

I had no trouble with 'scores' for containment -- I saw exactly the interpretation you meant.

I also agree with novice on IMAGO, only because I've never heard of the word. I actually went to the trouble to look up IMGOR and IGMOR to see if they were insect-related words, but I would have needed a little more hint to think of Iago.

[Suspence]

I confused IGOR with IAGO when writing the clue, which is why I originally wrote HENCHMAN, but ultimately changed it to VILLAIN. That clue was doomed from the start.

Changing dinosaur to king ( or possibly foreign king) fixes most of the problems with Relax, IMHO.

Continental Breakfast

Yemen: RED, WHITE, BLACK
The Netherlands, RED, WHITE, BLUE
Bolivia, RED, YELLOW, GREEN

Luxembourg: RED WHITE BLUE
Sierra Leone: GREEN WHITE BLUE
Lithuania: YELLOW GREEN RED

Italy: GREEN WHITE RED
Romania: BLUE YELLOW RED
France: BLUE WHITE RED

Combining stripes from the flags, according to the countries' positions, yields:

RED

GREEN

RED

GREEN YELLOW RED

Which describes the flags of:
HUNGARY
AUSTRIA
MALI

Given the title, the answer must be Ham.

These look a bit like cryptics, but maybe they aren't. This one seems to work straight:

Moussaka - Middle-Eastern salad with aubergines and tomatoes.

Spouse? - Relative of your choice.
Insurgent? - One who rises up, or takes up his arms.
Serve - Work for or wait on.

[Suspence]

REBEL? - One who rises up, or takes up his arms.
NYNEX - Former telecommunications company, now a Northeast Bureau.

Five letters words...MOUSSAKA might be wrong...

Relative of your choice is probably INLAW.

[Elethiomel]

Fill in the blanks

SPOUSE - Relative of your choice.
INSURGENT - One who rises up, or takes up his arms.
SERVE - Work for or wait on.
NYNEX - Former telecommunications company, now a Northeast Bureau.
ZAALOUK - Middle-Eastern salad with aubergines and tomatoes.

Above are my best guesses. The last three look pretty certain, but no pattern has emerged yet.

[novice]

It seems the last clue is a bit too obscure. Sorry about that, it was a quickie.

Replace with:
Arabic monk salad with aubergines and tomatoes.

[Suspence]

RAHEB, so:

INLAW
REBEL
SERVE
NYNEX
RAHEB

INLAW

REBEL

SERVE

NYNEX

Could SERVE or REBEL be incorrect?

There might be something going back up the list as well, especially if SERVE is wrong...

I keep thinking of STUDEBAKER for this one...but I can't get the wordplay to work. If it's correct, maybe someone else can.
