Looks like we'll be sticking around in Neptune a little longer.

The CW has just given an additional seven episode order to mystery/drama/best-show-you're-not-watching Veronica Mars, bumping the third season installments from a measly 13 to a nearly full-season order of 20 episodes.

Personally, I want all the Veronica I can get and so was praying (not even silently) for a full back nine pickup, but I'm happy that the season (or, hell, series) won't be ending in a few weeks' time. Still, I can't help but wonder what we're going to miss out on in those two episodes that have been stolen, like profits from a Neptune High school carnival, from us.

But, perspective, people: it means that Veronica will at least still be solving crimes in 2007. And that, in and of itself, is cause for celebration.
