Veronica Mars Bus Crash – The Give Me My Remote Theory (SPOILERS)

The following posts contains speculation and spoilers for Veronica Mars…you’ve been warned.

This past week’s episode of Veronica Mars really got me thinking about this damn bus crash, and who the hell is behind it all.  In the words of Rob Thomas, I’m “jazzed” about the upcoming eps and seeing how it all plays out.

I’ve received a bunch of emails asking for my theory on the Veronica Mars mysteries, so I thought I would take a stab, and then we can see how close (or probably how far off) I am to the real season ender.  First off, I haven’t worked out all the kinks, and there are major holes but I’ll give it a shot.  Oh, my theory is based on a spoiler I read, so if you aren’t interested in the spoilers (which could turn out to be fake), you might want to stop reading.

Here we go…

Who blew up the bus?

I think it was Woody who was behind the bus crash.  At first I didn’t think Rob Thomas and crew would do that, because it might be too obvious, but then I thought, well, if the circumstances around WHY he blew up the bus were interesting enough, then it could just work out.

Why did he do it?  Well, I think Woody was sexually inappropriate with some of the kids he coached in Little League back in the day.  Once he was elected Mayor, his old deeds came back to haunt him.  I think one of his victims was blackmailing him, and when Woody figured out who it was (or rather who he thought it was), he blew up the bus, and thus his blackmailer. I don’t know exactly who Woody’s victim was, but my money is on little Cassidy Casablancas. A spoiler revealed that Cassidy was on one of Woody’s teams – a fact wasn’t fully disclosed at first. 

In this past week’s Woody-centric episode, there were perhaps a few clues:

• If you pay close attention to the video from inside Woody’s house, the camera briefly pans in on pics of the various Little League teams that Woody coached.
• Neptune’s mayor seemed to really take a liking to Logan Echolls.  Not that I can blame him…I’m just saying.
• We all know that Beav is smitten with Mac, but he’s just not comfortable enough to take their physical relationship any further.  A guy in HS wanting to take things slow with his eager girlfriend? Yeah, I know it can happen…I just find it a little suspect.  I also found Cassidy’s reaction to Veronica’s knowledge of the situation to be a bit concerning.  What does he now want our little Super Sleuth to know about?

Listen, I am probably way off here, and I’m the first to admit that spoilers can often be junk.  But I thought I would share where my head is at right now.  I’d love to hear your theories too.  If you have theories on who crashed the bus, or who killed Felix, make sure you share them here.
