Whitney over at PopCandy interviewed Veronica Mars‘ Jason Dohring as he was chillaxing on the golf course. Jason gives a little insight on whether or not Mars returns next season or not:

What do you know about whether or not it’s coming back next season? I think if we keep the ratings that we’re at right now … I think we were one of two shows — us and One Tree Hill — to go up in its ratings, so I think that that bodes well for the show. We hit our second-highest numbers ever on the last episode, so I think if we can keep that up,then we can definitely stick around for another year or so.

Here are some tidbits about the Veronica Mars premiere (airing October 3) according to TV Guide:

• It will pay homage to Battlestar Galactica
• Veronica’s new favorite expression is the word “frak,” introduced to her by her college RA
• Veronica and Logan share several sweet and funny couple-y moments… as well as a sweaty bed scene
• Piz (Chris Lowell) is “fanfrakkintabulous” — clever, smart, silly, and easy on the peepers
