Well, that didn't take long. Michael Ausiello of TV Guide is reporting that he's received firsthand word from Rob Thomas that Veronica Mars is as dead as Lilly Kane.

From http://community.tvguide.com/blog-entry/TVGuide-Editors-Blog/Ausiello-Report/Veronica-Mars-Officially/800016822:

Maybe now the healing can begin...
The CW has officially pulled the plug on Veronica Mars. Series creator Rob Thomas confirmed the news for me via e-mail just moments ago.
"I'm afraid I have to report that Veronica Mars is officially dead," he wrote. "At least in TV show form. There's really no way that it can happen now. I'm not sure the CW should've given the glimmer of hope. I think Dawn Ostroff genuinely would have liked to have continued on with a version of the show, but there was too much resistance around her. At the end of the day, it would've been kinder had the band aid simply been ripped off rather peeled away in than this agonizingly slow manner."
Ironically, the news comes just as Veronica Mars fans — inspired by Jericho's 11th hour resurrection — are in the midst of bombarding The CW with thousands of Mars candy bars in advance of that June 15 deadline.

Oh, well. He and I are going to put on some Ravenhurst and stay away from hotel rooftops for a while.

It ain't right!

No, you're right. It isn't. I understand it (from a business perspective), but I hate it. The show is so smart, and just such a great piece of work. There were so many hopeful whispers over the past few weeks, they got too hard to ignore and I let myself hope.
