Nightmare on My Street - 
by J-Unit
As I've always said, one of the things that I love about Veronica Mars is that the show is able to juggle so many story lines with a lot of skill. As you dig deeper into the mystery, it only gets more complicated. While this makes it very difficult to turn somebody onto the show this late into the season, watching how everything comes together gives those of us who have hung around since the beginning of the year a wonderful sense of accomplishment. If you thought things were going to get less complicated once Weevil got his revenge on Thumper, you don't know the writers very well. We know that when she was solving Lily Kane's murder, Veronica would see visions of her best friend, who would often give her advice on how things were going. This year, it looks like Veronica is once again playing medium as kids killed in the bus crash started visiting her dreams in order to provide some clarity, and that's a good thing After all, we only have five episodes left to get to the bottom of this thing.
Like I said, Veronica has been having dreams of her dead classmates. It has been bothering her enough that it is really starting to affect her schoolwork. Her teachers have noticed, and Veronica is sent to the counselor's office of Miss James to get straightened out. We know Veronica is consumed by the crash, but she tore down a poster that another student had put up while trying to raise money for a yearbook memorial of those who have died. Veronica is not above getting revenge on students, but usually she waits for people to do something a little more nefarious before putting the hammer down.
Veronica's bad dreams started a few days earlier after she received some more pictures from the bus. Her father had been inside just long enough to find the rat, but what he didn't notice was that there was some graffiti on the bus. Somebody wrote "I Am God" on the back of one of the seats along with nine tombstones. Eight people died on the bus, but Veronica was supposed to be number nine. She was sure that whoever drew that picture had to be involved with the bus crash.
A lot of Meg's thoughts centered on a janitor named lucky. He used to be a rich kid, but his parents filed for bankruptcy and he had to leave school. Lucky joined the army, got shot in the ass, and boy buys beer for people like Logan and Dick in order to relive his glory days vicariously through them. He does, however, keep himself on a tight schedule of smoking pot and playing Halo. But really, would Meg have caused the accident considering she was pregnant? She was worried the baby would be sent away, but was she THAT worried?
