Question: What can we expect ...

Question: What can we expect in Season 2 of Veronica Mars? Will she be with Logan?  K. Carter Ausiello: I guess that depends on who was at her door at the end of last week's finale. If it was Logan, and I'm guessing (read: hoping) it was, I suspect Season 2 will start with the two of them flirting with official coupledom. For more clues, go back and reread Kristen Bell's comments in the 4/13 AA. Given what we now know, her quotes take on a whole new meaning.

Question: On 24, whatever happened to Mitch Andersen and the stolen stealth bomber? I figured after he shot down Air Force One, they'd be all over that guy  but they never mentioned him again!  Alana Kelleher Ausiello: I'm fairly certain there was a line referring to his plane being shot down and him being presumed dead.

Question: So now that the best show ever (The Wire) is coming back, what about Dominic West? I heard he's trying to bail.  Lance Ausiello: Sounds feasible considering his manager isn't returning my phone calls.

Question: Not sure if you've seen May's InStyle magazine yet. In it, Rhona Mitra has a picture of her Smurf collection. It made me think of you. Check it out. It's on page 453.  Jo Ausiello: She had three Smurfs lying on a shelf. Lemme know when you wanna see a real Smurf collection.

Question: Do you know if the first season of Veronica Mars will be coming to DVD soon?  Jenna Ausiello: Warner Bros. is hoping to have it in stores prior to the debut of the second season in September. Hey, how freakin' fantastic was that finale last night? Pretty freakin' fantastic. When Harry Hamlin showed up in Veronica's rear-view mirror, I nearly soiled my undies. And when Kristen Bell ordered her mum to pack her bags and get out, I nearly stood up and cheered. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Thank you UPN for renewing this show!

Question: Got any Gilmore Girls spoilers?  Haley Ausiello: I've seen next week's season finale and the Rory-Lorelai stuff is absolutely heartbreaking. The episode also features a breakup and a reunion  neither of which involves Luke-Lorelai or Logan-Rory. Or any of the show's couples, for that matter.

Question: Thank you for being on vacation this week! Usually, my entire Wednesday morning is lost reading Ask Ausiello. But last Wednesday, with no new AA, I was forced to finish a major paper that was due for school. Thanks, man!  Sean Ausiello: It's nice to know that someone understands. Thanks, Sean.

Question: Any word about when the new season of Six Feet Under will start? Any scoop?  Trish Ausiello: The fifth and final season kicks off June 6 and contrary to rumors, the first episode doesn't revolve around a Nate-Brenda wedding  because they're already married when the season starts. And I hear Rachel Griffiths' real-life pregnancy will be written into the show.

Question: I was nearly despondent today (Wednesday May 4) when I realized there was no new AA to read during my lunch hour. I hope you are having an amazing trip to make up for my level of despair. Did you sign any autographs for fellow vacationers that recognized you as the acclaimed Dragonfly Inn Guest No. 1?  Beth Wood Ausiello: You kid, but I went out for drinks one night and someone did recognize me  and not from my Emmy-worthy performance on Gilmore Girls. They recognized me from my thimble-sized picture in TV Guide magazine. I. Kid. You. Not. Good thing I don't have a big ego, because that's the kind of attention that could make a person intolerable.
