12/11/07-12/18/07 Veronica Mars Season 3

[Gewher]

Okay. So I've actually never seen an episode of Veronica Mars (crazy, I know), but everyone keeps ranting to me about how good it is. I've also been ranted at for hating on Elle in Heroes (simply because it's Veronica Mars!) So I'll enter this contest just because I think I need to see the show so I'll like Elle more? Yeah. So a mystery to solve, does she only solve murders?


At first the Suburb Vigilante is a modern day Robin Hood, stealing from the rich, giving to the poor, stopping drug dealers, and never killing... But then he or she starts going too far, killing criminals and murdering cops. But a pattern starts to show through... Everyone being killed is connected to a lower city police station, known for it's crooked cops and criminal dealings. Does Veronica side with the law and let the bad police station continue to run it's dirty money industries, or help the vigilante clean up the town?

Definitely they should continue the show right after college. Maybe have her involved in campus security or working for security/investigations with her local government. They should keep the show in Neptune to keep its charm. Anything they continue to do with Kristen Bell would be fine with me.

How about some sort of "cold case" type of mystery, where Veronica uncovers details about a local urban legend that's actually (somewhat) true, about a high school student girl who disappeared ten years ago and was never found...until now. Veronica works to solve the murder case, since the killer was never caught, and now another girl has gone missing at the same place, on the anniversary, of the last girl.

Yeah, I'm on the way too! That's a very great prize!

Okay, lso et’s come to imagine another arc for the third season of Veronica Mars! That’s not so easy because in a way that season was very complete, contrary to what most of people think and the results of the audience, and that was the season of the blossoming of Veronica… I mean, she comes to the university, she’s older than in the two previous seasons and she still got that back-and-forth romantic relationship with guys, unintentionally by the way. But just before my explanation I wanna inform all of you that I haven’t read any message because I didn’t wanted to be directed or influenced in a way, so don’t blame me if anyone has already chosen one of mine. Like all of you I'd love to win this prize. That could be my Christmas & birthday present from BuddyTV!

Prepare yourself, this is a really complete story!

So, about this plot that we think it could be added in the last season, I thought about a corrupted Mayor and a car crash in which involved Veronica and Wallace. Veronica was investigating on a case which was submitted to her by her father but, thanks to a flood at his office that obliged him to renew all his furniture and to do this very quickly in hope of not losing his cases about his late, he delegated this case to his daughter because that was the most important one above all. So, first she was very excited about handle this but soon after, she really became disillusioned. The case was the next: the concurrent of the Mayor of another Orange County city, in that case Third Wood, reproaches to the present Mayor that he rigged the elections but in fact he couldn’t reveal this to any organ of the administration (the sheriff’s office, the journal, the press, the pub…) because they are all directed by a relative of the actual Mayor; so he decided to hire an independent person, Keith Mars, in order to prove his conviction to all the inhabitants of Third Wood and to take back the seat of the corrupted man. Veronica was delighted to take this case and to investigate because like you all know her, she loves important cases (such as Lily Kane, the Shelley Pomroy's party, the Hearst College rapist or the Dean O'Dell's murder) so she thought she could add this case, when she’ll conclude it, to her trophy’s investigations but more and more, she realize this case isn’t just about a man who rigged the Mayor elections but also that this man is corrupted and this story could involve her into more and more danger. But Veronica is determined and she never gives up so even if it’s dangerous, she decides to pursue her investigations and tries to find evidences that could break the truth to everyone’s eyes and get the Mayor off his seat and bang him up. So Veronica had to drive to this nearby city and question some people, stalk this Mayor, collect lots of evidences by having his phone tapped, checking his mails on his laptop and his papers on his safe’s office… To succeed in doing this, she has to pass herself off as a assistant journalist who’s making “the subject of her life” by interviewing “the best Mayor ever” and following him officially during a whole day so she plans to make him believe she’s one of his admirer and she’ll write a laudatory column for her stage and with that plan, she hopes she could spend some time at his office. But once arrived at his office, the Mayor seems to be as bad as she heard about him and he didn’t seem very impressed by the column. She thought she lost her pass to his safe but that’s when she saw a picture of him and certainly his daughter: she decides to rethink the title of the column and immediately thinks about “the life of a Mayor’s daughter” and after he heard that, the Mayor completely mellowed. They decide that Veronica can come and follow his daughter one day after tomorrow and she gets back to Neptune. Thinking about what she could do during this day, she arrives to her home and finds Wallace waiting for her: he wanted to know in which case she is involved and finds this one particularly dangerous; he tries to persuade her to stop at time, before she gets too involved and moreover, that case isn’t just about her but it can lead to repercussions on her father, on the loved ones… He leaves her and she takes the night in order to think clearly, to weigh up the pros and cons but she finally gets to the conclusion that she has to do this, whatever the danger that is lurking around her. The morning after she decides to take a day-off in order to prepare to that very big case and she surfs on internet to find some information about the Mayor’s daughter, about her high school, her buddies, about her demeanor in order to become her prefect one-day-best-friend. In the evening, Wallace comes unexpectedly and he enquires Veronica about on the turn of her case. She explains him what she’s planned to do and he answers her that he suspected that from her. Finally, they come to the agreement that Wallace will come with her and be the “assistant of the assistant.” On the day after at the earliest they meet up at Mars’ and take her car to go to Third Wood. During the way to the city, they optimized the ultimate details that remain raised and they finally agreed to the plan that they both imagined. Once arrived at the Mayor’s house, they meet up with the daughter of the landlord and Veronica begins to portray her character. The daughter called Ally seems to be very pleasant and she wasn’t like what Veronica thought she would’ve been. Veronica tries to follow with attention all the movements of the Mayor but right after the lunch, Ally decides to leave the house and to hang out with her friends. Veronica is a bit surprised because she read that Ally didn’t like to go out on Sunday so her plan with Wallace is completely falling through. Fennel tries to persuade Ally not to leave the house but she prefers to show them her real life so they have to follow her if they wanna make the column they claim to do. Veronica is divided between her alibi and her work but abruptly an idea is growing in the head of the young detective. She winks to Wallace and they leave the house to go with Ally’s car; Wallace remains in a total incomprehension but he behaves just like if he was the real assistant journalist of Veronica. Mars enters the car but soon after she realizes that she has forgotten all her papers in Ally’s house: she gets back to the house and she places the micro on the Mayor’s cell and tries to pick up some information on his desk but all his drawers are locked, just like his safe obviously! Veronica is forced to leave before that Ally gets too impatient and she quickly looks around to find a folder or something that the Mayor could has inadvertently let on his desk and her eyes suddenly shine. She’s a bit disappointed when she read it but eventually she takes the folder to put it on her bag and like she hasn’t got the time to tidy up his papers, she briefly returns to Ally’s car. At that moment, the Mayor enters his office and sees that someone has come to his office because there is a little mess on his desk and he comes to the surveillance office and asks to wind up the camera of his room in order to check up if he’s too tense because of his concurrent. He finally sees Veronica so he completely loses his head and smashes up his cell against the wall. During the whole afternoon, Wallace stayed with Ally and their friends but Veronica often left them to hear the communications of the Mayor but if was like if he never used his cell phone. They come back to the house right for the dinner and Ally’s father seemed to be nicer than at the previous meeting. The landlady placed Veronica and Wallace in two different rooms for the night, adjoining Ally’s one so that they can come and talk to her if they’ve got some problems. The three students spend the end of the evening together, talking about Ally’s life, about the fact that it’s certainly not always easy to be “the Mayor’s daughter” but she explains to them that her friends are really nice, like they can have seen it on the afternoon, and she takes the situation with a great diplomacy; at 10 PM they wish to spend a good night and Veronica joins her room, not to sleep but to check up if the mayor has called with his cell and if he has divulged the truth about the elections but nothing has filtered through. Veronica begins to worry about the fact that this case could last a bit more that she though and she remembers that nothing can happen without a little external help. By the way, she hopes the night could enable her to find the information she’s been searching for her investigation and decides to get back to the Mayor’s office. Once arrived, she wants to force his drawers but fortunately finds them unlocked so she goes through it and discovers interesting folders of the election. She duplicates the documents and sends the copies to her by Internet. Veronica rubs her hands after this discover and replaces all the things she moved at the first place and gets back to bed. The morning after, she woke up at 8 AM and immediately knocks at Wallace’s in order to quickly tell him that she finally discovered the truth and that the concurrent can finally breaks the news to everyone. They both spend the rest of their time with Ally and they leave the house just before the lunch. In the car, Wallace presses her friend to tell him how she’s done to find the evidences and she takes her time to narrate him all the story; in order to prove it, she hands him her bag and he folder. He smiles and congratulates her for her bravery and Veronica answers to him that she’ll “never lose this inner Mars temperament” but at that moment, they both hear a kind of jingling and the car explodes. In fact, the corrupted Mayor placed a bomb under the trunk as a reprisal but just enough to harm the driver and the passenger, in order to force Veronica to get off of his business.

That's a quite dramatic cliffhanger and that could be certainly one of the most stressful end of an episode of Veronica Mars. That could have been a great arc to see the life of Veronica and Wallace in balance, their parents who’ll be conscience-stricken but Veronica and Wallace quickly recover (but I'd like to see Wallace limping, yeah, that could drive Veronica into a dilemma about the fact that her friends should or shouldn't be a part of her investigations, after all she could feel guilty about that) and we could see them during the aftermath of that explosion, trying to finish this case and to send this horrible Mayor in jail. But life isn't so easy and now Veronica must have to cop with her father so as to prove that this is the Mayor who has placed the bomb under her car.

Ooh! Can't wait to read all of your responses! Don't forget that one of the DVDs goes to a randomly selected winner, so you don't necessarily need a masterpiece to win.

While that is very true, and is a great way to win. But I just feel that if I'm gonna enter, I'm gonna do it well.

Ok, here goes.

Before you start reading, I'll have you know that I've only seen the third season up to episode 9, so I have no idea what actually happens at the end. So if I happen to put something in that has already been in the show - sorry. lol I hope that wont happen.

Veronica Mars and the Exchange Student
Instead of having a whole new plot line, like a murder, or a rape, or kidnapping etc... I'd make the last 5 episodes as a conclusion that Veronica is the same old Veronica, and isn't a big city FBI agent, but just a simple girl (and of course Private Investigator) from Neptune.

And a girl who is new to Hearst College (she's an exchange student, about Veronica's age) will help her realize this.

This new girl is very much like Veronica on the out side. She's blond, and has a small built, but is yet very strong.

Not only is she similar to her on the outside, but on the inside as well. She is always helping others when she can, she's extremely smart, always solving mysterious cases, and very much like Veronica, she always helps herself, and she doesn't exactly let others help her with her own problems.

The way this girl comes into Veronica's life is simple. She's very good friends with Mac. Mac disappears. They both go looking for her.
Veronica doesn't know this girl, but she realizes that she must be pretty smart, because they're pretty much always in the same place at the same time. (concerning Mac's disappearance)

We all know Veronica, she hates to be outsmarted. So it's almost like this girl is her rival, while they're both trying to solve this case.

Mac finally turns up at the end, but not because any of the girls find her, but because the police get to her first.
Veronica was so caught up in outsmarting this girl, that she lost track of finding Mac. Not that she stopped trying, but the fact that this girl was almost smarter than her was unbearable.

Later it turns out that this girl is the daughter of an FBI agent.

After all this, Veronica realized that she is best off doing what she does best. Solving crimes, and helping others, but doing this by her self. She decided she won't apply for the FBI, because that's not her. She's not someone from a big city, she never was. She's not a big-shot, rich girl. Never was, and never wants to be. She is the same old Veronica Mars we came to know and love all the way from her first years of high school to her last years of collage.

----ooo----

Ok, I'm pretty tired, as it's really late. I hope that made sense.

Alright, so I've not seen the entire third season and I never really had time to think on this but heres something I thought up real quick:

Just A Quick Peek

Lately there have been videos posted on local websites of Hearst College girls showering, bathing and getting (un)dressed [through dorm windows] etc. One Girl [Still a virgin, no ones, ever seen her unclothed] gets upset and tries to stop the videos of herself, but they only get worse. She is recommended to Veronica [who is unaware of the situation]. Veronica agrees to help the girl, obviously.

Veronica convinces the girl to sleep in Veronicas dorm room until she finds the guy posting the videos. Veronica studies the videos (at what angle and distance they were taken from) She finds the dorm room from which most of the videos were taken.

The guy who is behind all the videos notices Veronica is on to him and begins taping Veronica as well. Bad Move. Veronica was ready for that (having placed cameras in a few special places) She sees him places his cameras, finds out who it is and BAM! She has him.

Veronica eventually (by using her awesome tactics) gets the guy to give her every video he had of the girls.

The girl is happy, yay, and the already existing videos are deleted.

I don't know... It seemed like Veronica Mars thing to do....

This is quite a nice prize...
I hope I win
