Corrected entry: After Heather Chandler is killed, shouldn't there have been some work done in the house involving an investigation? You would think that Veronica's and JD's fingerprints would have been all over the place, considering neither of them were wearing gloves.

Correction: The coroner ruled it a suicide so the police have nothing to investigate.

Yes, the coroner ruled it a suicide. The investigation takes place before that: immediately when the body is found.

Correction: Yes it is. "... by their pursuing their game in those frigid Polar Seas, on the very coasts of that Esquimaux country where the convivial natives pledge each other in bumpers of train oil."

Corrected entry: When Veronica is at the college party and she is putting her hand near the match, she drops the match into the glass of beer and throws it out of the window. When she is sick later in the corridor and walks outside with Heather Chandler, the trash can is on fire, but there is no window above.

Correction: Only part of the wall is shown above the trash can, so the window is probably higher up, out of the shot.

Continuity mistake: You can see the flash of light that signals them to react to the bomb going off.

Heather Chandler: Well, fuck me gently with a chainsaw. Do I look like Mother Teresa?

Question: Why did JD expect anyone to believe his plan for the bomb at school - that all of the students signed a mass suicide note? Nobody would think that so many people, with different personalities and interests, agreed to die together. He later tells Veronica, "Pretend I did blow up the school, all the schools" - implying that he wanted to do this again. He might be crazy, but he was careful in how he executed the murders of Heather, Kurt, and Ram. Why the ridiculous bomb plan?

Answer: He doesn't care if anyone believes it or not; he is trying to make a statement about society and that no matter how we see ourselves in life, we are all the same when we're dead.

Answer: Not only is JD crazy, he is overconfident now. He and Veronica got away with the other murders. He thinks a fake mass suicide could be successful.

Answer: The students didn't know they were signing a "mass suicide" pact. They thought it was a petition to win a free concert from a popular band. JD covered the suicide wording on the paper with a sticker that made it look like a contest entry. He pulls off the sticker and reads the real message after he finds Veronica hanging in her room.

That was not the question. It's a question of why JD thinks anyone will believe the note, after all the students are dead. Has nothing to do with the students knowing what they were signing.
