Veronica Mars TVGuide.com Chit Chat

Want a little behind the scenes scoop on everyone’s favorite PI, Veronica Mars? TVGuide.com just had VM creator, Rob Thomas, answer some fan submitted questions. To make it easier for ya, I put an excerpt of the Q&A’s below, but all credit goes to TVGuide.com.

Not sure this is going to hold me off until the show returns in March…oh wait minute, it doesn’t have to. I’m heading to the set in less than 2 weeks. Did I mention that before? Oh I did? My bad.

Question: One thing I really liked about last year were the flashbacks. Are there going to be bus-crash flashbacks? And what are Lilly’s chances of returning next season? — Sam

Rob Thomas: We loved our flashbacks, too. We loved them largely because they allowed us to have Amanda Seyfried on the show [as Lilly]. She was just awesome for us. Here’s what I’ll say — you will get to know the kids who died on the bus before the end of the season. We also have a few flashbacks to the summer before senior year that we’ll be dropping in.

Question: How is it that Keith doesn’t lose faith in Veronica? She lies to him (e.g., in the Duncan kidnapping episode) and he says he’s disappointed, but by next episode all is back to normal. What am I missing here? — Famin

Thomas: We actually did play some awkwardness between the two of them when Veronica is forced to admit she bugged Lamb’s office and knows about Terrance’s gambling problem. There was a longer version of the scene that elevated the tension and mistrust, but we lost it in getting the show down to time. I admit that we should’ve had more of that strained dynamic in there, and Keith’s lack of trust may still come back to haunt Veronica.

Question: Is Wallace done with Jackie? — Jordan

Thomas: You must wait and see.
