Day 25 - Merry Christmas! I got so excited when talking about today's Star Trek: The Next Generation episode that I forgot to give a summary of what happens in the episode. Ah well, you can always go and watch it (and I strongly encourage you to do so as it's one of my absolute favourites)!

Day 22 - today's lovely feeling is another one that only comes after something unpleasant (sorry!), and today's Star Trek: The Next Generation episode is actually a two-for-one and leads to me talking about the joys of long-form narratives at LARP.

Day 21 - today's lovely feeling requires a sandy beach, and today's Star Trek: The Next Generation episode explores grief and revenge (not very festive themes, sorry!). Annoyingly I say 'terraformers' a couple of times when I should have said 'colonists'. They are very different things, sorry!

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).

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!
