Tea and Sanctuary

Day 20 - today I talk about doing something that is good for the soul, and today's Star Trek: The Next Generation episode is one of my favourite Data-centric ones.  Em can be found on: Mastodon: https://mindly.social/@emmanewman Bluesky:  https://bsky.app/profile/emmanewman.bsky.social Threads:  https://www.threads.net/@emapocalyptic   YouTube www.enewman.co.uk If you enjoyed the show, and want to...

Day 19 - today's lovely feeling is one that brings back happy memories, and today's Star Trek: The Next Generation episode leads to me talking about how my opinion of Riker has changed over the years.  Em can be found on: Mastodon: https://mindly.social/@emmanewman Bluesky:  https://bsky.app/profile/emmanewman.bsky.social Threads:  https://www.threads.net/@emapocalyptic   YouTube www.enewman.co.uk...

Day 18 - today's lovely feeling is connected to today's Star Trek: The Next Generation and both are utterly adorable.  Em can be found on: Mastodon: https://mindly.social/@emmanewman Bluesky:  https://bsky.app/profile/emmanewman.bsky.social Threads:  https://www.threads.net/@emapocalyptic   YouTube www.enewman.co.uk If you enjoyed the show, and want to keep the teapot full, you can become a patron...

Day 17 - today's lovely feeling is for fellow lovers of winter, and a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode that is heavy and serious and, I feel, still very relevant.  I also mention my new podcast, Imagining Tomorrow which you can find on all the usual podcasty places (that link takes you to a page where you can listen through your browser if you wish). Em can be found on: Mastodon: https://min...

Day 16 - today's lovely feeling is one for animal lovers, and today's Star Trek: The Next Generation episode is one that delight me conceptually!

Day 15 - today's lovely feeling contains a bonus television show recommendation (The Leftovers), and a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode that contains one of the best examples of Sir Patrick Stewart's acting skills. Em can be found on: Mastodon: https://mindly.social/@emmanewman Bluesky:  https://bsky.app/profile/emmanewman.bsky.social Threads:  https://www.threads.net/@emapocalyptic   YouTub...

Day 11 - today's lovely feeling is one that is, hopefully, relatively easy to feel again should you wish. Today's Star Trek: The Next Generation episode features a character that I relate to so much it's slightly painful! Oh, just a minor thing; I pronounce Lieutenant with the British pronunciation (comes from having a family with a long history in the British military and I just can't say it the...

Day 10 - today's lovely feeling is one that I hope you've been lucky enough to experience, and that if it's no longer possible to feel it again, thinking back to it might bring back some cherished memories. Today's Star Trek: The Next Generation episode is all about what happens when Data lies to the rest of the crew. Em can be found on: Mastodon: https://mindly.social/@emmanewman Bluesky:  https:...

Day 9 - today's lovely feeling is caused by a very particular sound, and today's Star Trek: The Next Generation episode is all about incredible faith in oneself in the face of something terrifying. Em can be found on: Mastodon: https://mindly.social/@emmanewman Bluesky:  https://bsky.app/profile/emmanewman.bsky.social Threads:  https://www.threads.net/@emapocalyptic   YouTube www.enewman.co.uk If...

Day 8 - a good feeling that can be very hard to come by, unless you are lucky, and reminiscing about a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode that features a very interesting consultant.

Day 5 - a good feeling that comes after something that really has no place in an advent calendar (what was I thinking?!), and reminiscing about a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode that is filled with members of the bridge crew having a lot of faith in each other. I forgot to say that the episode is episode 21 in season 2! Em can be found on: Mastodon: https://mindly.social/@emmanewman Bluesky...

Day 4 - a memory of something I hope everyone gets to feel at least once this winter, and reminiscing about a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode that is filled with Data being a really great friend.

Day 3 - a memory of something lovely that can only happen because of a minor failure, and reminiscing about a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode that takes something that was inherently Earth-bound in 90's pop-culture and puts it on a 24th century spaceship. The Tea and Sanctuary advent calendar contains both a lovely feeling and Em talking about one of her favourite Star Trek: The Next Genera...

Day 2 - a memory of something that all tea lovers will recognise (and something for the non-tea drinkers!), and reminiscing about a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode about vulnerability and nuanced family dynamics. The Tea and Sanctuary advent calendar contains both a lovely feeling and Em talking about one of her favourite Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes for each day of advent. You d...

Day 1 - a memory of something that makes you sigh with relief, and reminiscing about a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode about overcoming struggles when dealing with difficult people. The Tea and Sanctuary advent calendar contains both a lovely feeling and Em talking about one of her favourite Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes for each day of advent. You do not need to be a Star Trek fa...
