Ahsoka Season 1 Episode 1 -Master and Apprentice
Volo
Sci-Fi
Yes! More science fiction during the actors and writers strike to save us from a drought of entertainment. The series begins with a double header and quickly gets into the action as some force wielding shadowy figures attack a ship carrying a prisoner "Morgan Elsbeth" who has knowledge of where Grand Admiral Thrawn may be. This sets up the premise ...
Star Trek Strange New Worlds Season 2 episode rankings
Volo
Sci-Fi
Ranking from best to worst The season is over and this is my opinion of the episodes from best to worst. Episode 8 - Under the Cloak of War The season's darkest episode and with intense character development and depth of Dr. M'Benga and Nurse Chapel. The audience is presented with whether it is fair to expect someone to so easily forgive and forget...
Strange New Worlds S2 Ep10 - Hegemony
Volo
Sci-Fi
The second season finale arrives and we get the answer to the Gorn question we've been waiting for all season... What about the Gorn? The episode has some wonderful reveals, adds to Trek lore and ends on a cliffhanger. This episode is suspenseful and action-packed from the beginning as a nice quaint Midwestern styled town from the 21st century. The...
Platea in Pinecrest
Volo
Miami Restaurants
Self proclaimed first Peruvian inspired steakhouse in the world and New Times proclaimed best Miami Steakhouse of 2023, this restaurant is a gem in a nice suburban hideaway. Just behind the Chipotle, Platea is easy to miss when driving south on US1....and missing something quite special you would if you kept driving past it. I would say the praise ...
Bulla Gastrobar at The Falls
Volo
Miami Restaurants
After frequently driving by and seeing this place, I decided to give it a shot as the yelp reviews have all been favorable. As of this writing, the Bulla Gastrobar has three locations (Doral, Coral Gables and The Falls).  As part of the Miami Spice event, which generally offers a three course meal to encourage people to sample various restaura...
Fabledom Map Seeds
Volo
Video Games
As of now, the best thing to have in the game appears to be lots of land, with very few rivers, oceans, hills and lots of dense forests that can be chopped and converted to coal. This may change in the future as fishing, prismatic liquid and military combat is added. However for now, pure flat land as far as the eye can see will be the goal. When t...

Strange New Worlds S2 Ep9 - Subspace Rhapsody
Volo
Sci-Fi
The anticipated musical episode of Star Trek Strange New Worlds. After this episode, only the season finale remains which will likely deal with the Gorn threat. This episode nicely wraps up the question of Spock and Nurse Chapel as well as La'an and Jim Kirk.  The Enterprise is seen approaching a naturally occurring subspace fold. This fold is...
Strange New Worlds S2 Ep8 - Under the Cloak of War
Volo
Sci-Fi
In what is probably the best episode yet of Strange New Worlds, including both seasons, this is a gritty Star Trek episode with a twist and major character development of our beloved Dr. Joseph M'Benga and Nurse Chapel as they deal with atrocities of war and post traumatic stress disorder. Only two episodes remain with next week's appearing to be a...
Crossover Episode with Star Trek Lower Decks
Star Trek Strange New Worlds Season 2 Episode 7 - Those Old Scientists
Volo
Sci-Fi
This was a fun, non-serious episode as two ensigns, Ensigns Beckett Mariner and Bradward Boimler, from 120 years in the future return back to the time of Captain Pike and crew. They try their best to stay out of trouble, but they are basically inexperienced ensigns armed with future knowledge that can drastically change things. As an early release ...
Gyu-Kaku in Pinecrest
Gyu-Kaku in Pinecrest is delicious!
Volo
Miami Restaurants
Twice now I've been unable to resist the all you can eat at a restaurant. Gyu-Kaku is the Japanese barbecue which resembles the recently popular Korean barbecue restaurants across the nation. Changed from the last time I went, the buffet has been extended by 3 hours to 6pm, so it now goes from 11am-6pm and you can only stay for 90 minutes. I've nev...
