The old Jake Kane would have been wearing dinner wear and enjoying a meal at a big table. This Jake kane was eating take-out at a coffee table.
The old Jake would have been associating with the president and G8 leaders... This Jake... is hanging around with college kids.
His decline over S4 and beyond would have made a great subplot.

Again, an interesting subplot we'll never see...
At least until Dark Horse Comics says the magic words and a Veronica Mars: Season 4 comic is published.

I finished watching the finale last night and it left me wishing for a fourth season. Most of Season 3 wasn't that great, but I really enjoyed the last few episodes, especially the finale with some past characters coming back.

What I want to know is if we should read anything into the last statement here about big-screen ideas.
The plan for a possible 4th season/revamp/spin-off (whatever you want to call it)? Put Veronica in the FBI. Apparently this is a concept trailer, running around 6 minutes we're told, that the producers put together for The CW, to get them interested enough in keeping the show around. No dice; the execs at The CW didn't bite, the program was axed, and now the producers are toying with big-screen ideas instead.

If they won't put money into a new season of a tv show, why would they ever plunge any money into producing a theatrical feature film and then waste money marketing it for theaters? It might equal the same as the price tag of a 4th season.

Depending on the concept, you should be able to make a Veronica Mars film pretty cheap. You probably don't have sophisticated effects, and I imagine they could get at least some of the players from the cast at a decent salary.

It's happened before though. Just ask Joss Whedon.
Also, depending on how well Nancy Drew does, VMars could have a chance to make it to the big screen.
Now the only question is when Encyclopedia Brown is going to have a comeback.
