Q: I'm just catching up with "Star Trek: Discovery" and am wondering: Is Rainn Wilson's character a reference to something from one of the old shows? He feels, I don't know, significant somehow.
You have a good eye for character development. In a show, indeed a long series of shows, that often features a creep-of-the-week type of disposable villain, Harcourt Fenton Mudd (Harry, for short) is indeed different.
The fact that he's being played by a known actor -- former "The Office" star Rainn Wilson -- is a giveaway, but for fans of the original '60s "Star Trek" series, the name alone does it. Harry Mudd was a recurring, fan-favorite character in the original show.

Q: Is "Yellowstone" going to return? It was exceptionally well scripted and had a great cast.
The newly rebranded Paramount Network (formerly known as Spike, and before that The Nashville Network) placed a big bet on "Yellowstone," renewing the costly prestige drama midway through its debut season. That bet paid off for the network, and it will pay off for fans, too, but we don't know when yet.

Q: How are the Roloffs? Do you think they will come back?
The Roloff family will almost certainly come back -- TLC promised us as much. But there will be fewer of them when they return for their 14th season of "Little People, Big World."
At the end of Season 13 last summer, Jeremy Roloff announced on social media that he, his wife, Audrey, and their daughter, Ember, would not be returning to the show.
