And might result in a mistrial on the show. Which would be awesome. Especially if it leads to the defendant (who Veronica will find out is guilty, of course) getting away scot free - I love it when Veronica screws up.
Now I want that.
Edited because I can spell defendANT.
That would be classic Veronica screw up Gris.
The only time I was seated on a jury it was a hysterical he said she said civil case that had all of us rolling on the floor every time they made us leave the room. The judge even commented on the volume of our laughter. We foolishly figured if we couldn't hear them they couldn't hear us. The judge found it all absurd too. He would fake yawn behind the witness line of sight.
It is remotely possible it could be a silly case. But probably not.
Also, I want Wallace back!!!
everyone needs to go here and fill out the poll AOL has put up.
this is a very good thing. here's hoping the networks are realizing just how outdated the Nielsen ratings are and are working towards abolishing/renegotiating.
Also, there's been a lot of assumptions about Meg, and frankly, we only saw her in, what? Three or four episodes last season?
I've known more than a couple seemingly nice and normal people who have all KINDS of damage going on.
Plus, the whackos who Veronica encountered when she was babysitting also reinforces that -- a family may look normal, the kids may act normal, may act super-nice, but still be the Manson family behind closed doors.
My new theory? The bus crash was rigged by Meg's parents. Would have killed their promiscuous daughter, the sinner who knocked her up, and the offspring which would be proof that they raised their daughter to be a whore.
I don't think Meg's parents know how to rig a bus.
I don't think Meg's parents know how to rig a bus.
Of course not. But I'd bet they know how to find someone who does, and offer that person lots of cash.
Even if Meg's parents are sick enough to kill Meg and Duncan, I can't see them killing a bus full of innocents. That takes a special kind of evil. (hee, I wrote kink of evil the first try)
Well, who are the possible suspects (at least for arranging, if not executing the crash)...
- Logan Echolls (I'm sorry cutie, but I can't count you out)
Motive? He may well be completely crazy, and he was jilted. I don't think it is him, really. I certainly don't want it to be him, because you can't come back from that. I just can't rule it out.
Motive? Again with the crazy, only now more concentrated crazy in every bite.
Motive? I'm not sure. I can't puzzle one out, as Lilly was seemingly less important to her than Duncan was. But my mind keeps telling me it is possible, and I don't even know why.
Motive? Other than being rejected/jilted, I'm not sure. It's more a character issue, in that it's pretty sick to want to make the loved ones of your dead loved one suffer. Really.
...
The above people are all people I just couldn't count out, more than anything. The people listed below are the ones I consider more likely:
- Whichever PCHer is working behind Weevil's back
Motive? Whatever. We don't have enough of this story, yet.
- Some of the Fighting Fitzpatricks
Motive? They're meth-head lunatic criminals who are somehow trying to cut in on/harness the PCHers action/power/territory. Again, we don't have enough of this story, yet.
Motive? This is TV. Religion is evil on TV.
Motive? The affair. Husband was going to leave her. He was a school bus driver. She wasn't going to be getting all too much alimony/child support out of him. She wanted his life insurance. What she didn't count on was a letter from him that could be misinterpreted as a suicide note.
- Driver Ed's Girlfriend's Husband
Motive? The affair. Still, I can't see a cuckholded husband taking out a bus full of students in the process. But we don't know anything about him.
- Woody Goodman (Steve Gutenburg)
Motive? Political power, plus that little glimpse into their homelife in
Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner
was really sort of creepy.
...
What I don't think: I
do not
think that Curly Moran engineered the crash. I do not think Veronica was the target. I mostly don't think Veronica was the target, because Veronica has spent so much time feeling like the target. I think it's more likely that Curly Moran had information about the crash and was going to get it to Veronica. This makes it likely that a PCHer/Fighting Fitzpatrick was involved in the crash. I think that's weird though, because there's been a few comments this season that make me think the motive is personal. Mostly, I'm remembering one in particular from Keith, but I can't place the episode--about how crime is often personal--not some big conspiracy.
What was the name of Weevil's cousin who let their Abuela and then Weevil take the fall for the credit card fraud he (cousin) committed on the Echolls--the one who was messing around with Paris Hilton's Caitlin? I wonder if he's engineering Weevil's downfall with the PCHers, from the outside, possibly working in tandem with some disgruntled PCHer who is still on the inside.
Woody working WITH the Fitzpatricks AND the breakaway wing of Weevil's gang to engineer something to help the incorporation plan.
Oh, who am I kidding? I won't figure it out until Veronica fatally wounds Logan to stop the incorporation portal from opening.
The monks made Logan out of Veronica!
....or something like that.
