Veronica’s Imaginary Fourth Season

Posted by Maggie October 25th, 2007 at 11:52am In Giveaways Veronica Mars

It’s time to announce the winner of the Veronica Mars Season 3 DVD giveaway. As you may recall, we asked you to come up with two-sentence pitches for a fourth season of the show. We got some really great responses, and it was extremely tough to pick a winner. So we picked two! The first is from Catherine. Thanks for the good visuals, Catherine.

Season 4 starts with Piz: shirtless, tied to a chair, and kidnapped by one of the bail jumpers that Keith had captured (but was recently been released from jail). Veronica and Keith team up with the newly introduced hotty: Piz’s older brother; Veronica is torn between two Piznarskis.

The other winner is Wojtek, who focuses on lesser-seen characters in the Neptune pantheon.

In an attempt to find her father a distraction from the lost election, Veronica finally decides to look into the inexplicable disappearance of Wallace’s mother. The trail, suspiciously — and deliciously! — often peppered with appearances by Trina Echolls (HIMYM schedule permitting) leads her to uncovering the true extent of the Kane conspiracy.

We’ll be in touch about sending out your DVDs.

Of course we can’t help sharing the ideas from many of the wonderful runners-up, after the jump. Thank you all for entering. Be sure to leave your bitter complaints in the comments.

Purely hypothetical, of course, from Mel:

Veronica must clear herself in a season-long arc after CW Entertainment President Dawn Ostroff and the Pussycat Dolls turn up dead. Wacky complications occur when Veronica is revealed to be supporting herself with frequent bail-breaking trips to the East coast for her sidebjob as “Gossip Girl”, the snarky, all-knowing Upper East Side blogger.

An unsigned pitch has a thing for (or against) Max (have you noticed the actor’s on Aliens in America now?):

Mac gets knocked up over the summer by Max but loses the kid while assulted in what the new Sherriff Van Lowe thinks was a random mugging.  Ronnie instead spends the whole season uncovering the truth (i.e. Max is in deep to the Fitzpatricks).

Not sure how this would really play out logistically, Julia, but props for thinking outside the box:

In the final season of VM, Veronica is murdered and Keith, Logan, et all are haunted by her “ghost” a la Lilly and must expose her killer out of her multitude of enemies.

Eva from Australia has an interesting take on the FBI internship:

During the internship the FBI convinces V to go undercover in Neptune to try and sneak into a crime gang that has put a hit out on Keith, but she has to allienate everybody in order to make that happen. Wallace and Logan suspect that something is wrong with Veronica but can’t figure out what, so there’s a lot of tension, until the FBI busts the crime ring with V’s help.

I like the Silence of the Lambs vibe from this pitch from Tamara:

Vinnie Van Lowe won the election, but then was murdered, and Keith is the prime suspect. Veronica, now a sophomore at Hearst, tries to exonerate him with the help of a jailed professor Landry.

Anita is one of the few entries who thinks there’s something up with The Castle:

Veronica returns to her sophomore year at college with Vinnie Van Lowe as the new Sheriff in town. With Vinnie’s loyalties not with ‘the good and innocent people of Neptune’, Veronica takes on Gory Sorokin’s family and The Castle, when Logan ends up hospitalized after a hit and run and key pieces of evidence go missing.

Sara gets special marks for pushing the boundaries of the two sentence limit:

After breaking up with Logan one last, wrenching time, Veronica takes Backup and moves to Hollywood to become a D-girl at Warner Bros., where she occasionally administers Taser shocks to the testicles of focus-group meatheads who “don’t get” intricately planned, immaculately acted serialized dramas; on weekends she teaches krav maga to disadvantaged teenage girls. Keith marries Laura San Giacomo and is elected mayor of Neptune; Wallace becomes a professional basketball player and huge celebrity in Italy, eventually starting a family with one of Monica Bellucci’s nieces; Mac apprentices with Steve Jobs and invents the next-generation iPhonePodBookPro; Weevil joins the special forces and single-handedly crushes the Iraq insurgency, bringing peace and tattoos to a troubled region; and Logan eventually drags himself out of a Nikki Sixx–like heroin addiction and partners with Dick on a series of successful reality TV ventures, an occupation which eventually reunites him with Veronica in a sun-drenched, gently pop-scored moment of exquisite squee.

And finally, something we’d all like to see, from Shumona:

Realizing that she has not only an overwhelming amount of awesomeness, but also an army of fanboys and fangirls at her disposal, Veronica decides to take over the world. Wallace, Mac and Logan assist, while Madison is forced into menial labour to make restitution for her many, many crimes against humanity.

Thanks again! Stay tuned for more contests. Hypothetically.
