Q: In the last James Bond movie, did the title, "Spectre," stand for anything? I know it's the name of the organization, but is it an acronym?

If we're being pedantic about it, then no. In the 2015 James Bond film "Spectre," the title isn't an acronym — but it is in the rest of the Bond universe.

Daniel Craig's Bond films have turned away from the lighter elements of the older films and the novels on which they were based. One thing they dispensed with, and that author Ian Fleming had a real penchant for, was hokey abbreviations.

Q: I was watching a show on National Geographic Channel or History in September about early American settlers in conflict with native tribes. The word "Bark" was part of the title. Are there more episodes coming?

You aren't alone in wanting more episodes of "Barkskins" (you were halfway there), but there's a good chance you won't get it.

National Geographic Channel officially billed this show — its first foray into fictional programming — as a "limited series," and that's supposed to mean one season, one complete story. And in that sense, "Barkskins" did not deliver.
