The Bitch Is Back (Veronica Mars)

 * ... that in promos for the series finale of Veronica Mars, The CW billed it as a season finale, despite the fact that the series had already been cancelled?


 * ALT1:... that in writing the series finale of Veronica Mars, series creator Rob Thomas wanted to create an ambiguous ending to keep the viewers guessing?

 * Symbol possible vote.svg Symbol question.svg New enough (promoted to GA-class on 11 March 2016, diff), long enough, All non-lead and non-plot paragraphs have inline citations, copyvio checks reveal no problems (e.g. ). Matters that need to be addressed and concerns are:
 * QPQ still needs to be performed (done.) North America1000 02:49, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
 * The sources used in the article to verify the hook (source) and Alt (source) do not appear to be particularly reliable. PopSugar seems to primarily be a platform to promote brands (see Bloomberg profile). Give Me My Remote is essentially a blog. Are there any other sources available that are more reliable per Wikipedia's standards? North America1000 23:37, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review. The QPQ has been supplied, and I have changed sources (in the case of the main hook) and slightly tweaked ALT1 to fit a different source (DVD commentary). Let me know what you think! Johanna (talk to me!) 02:39, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Hook content is now verified with an inline citation to a reliable source in the article, but the source does not state anything about The CW billing it as such, and does not state anything about advertising or promotions. I'm not seeing where content of the alt is cited in the article. E.g. it states, "... his intention was to keep viewers guessing and prevent the conclusion from being too bland or typical", but no inline citation is present at the end of the sentence. North America1000 03:12, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that. When I searched for a better source, I found a PopMatters article published on the same day as the first one, and I assumed it was the same one. It has been changed. Also, I have added a direct inline citation to that sentence for ALT1. Johanna (talk to me!) 15:23, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Both hook and alt are now properly verified in the article. I prefer the initial hook, which is backed by a secondary source, whereas the alt is backed by a primary source, the liner notes from the Veronica Mars: The Complete Third Season DVD.
