C&C - Death Note - "Impatience" [5/3]

[Mugen]

Well, we are getting near the end of the show, but that doesn't mean things stop being interesting. Also, the show will be airing tomorrow in its new timeslot of 12:30 AM Eastern. That's good news for DN fans.

[Ishtar]

I liked how Light is still trying to play the role of L, while working with Near. I felt it was a strong moment when Light had to choose whether or not to kill his own sister, which was a hard decision for him to make. I was glad he chose not to, though.

[XOMiss_Samantha]

Oh Sayu. Looks at the trouble you've caused.
K.L.M.N. Kira L Mello and Near spell out letters of the alphabet in order!

Light screams just like I do when i'm frustrated.
"SHUT UP MISA AND JUST DO WHAT I TOLD YOU"
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
She's so effin annoying. Is it wrong I loved it when he yelled like that? Somebody needed to. I totally feel his pain.

I love the BGM that starts when Mello gets on the phone with papa Yagami. Silly FBI. He's apart of the mafia. He can do what ever he wants. Shoot missiles, blow up helicopters. He can even steal your laundry, AND your chocolate.

Brilliant scene of Light leaning back in the chair after loosing the notebook. Defeat sure is bitter. Shoulda killed Sayu, Light. She's only a minor character anyways.
*shakes head*

[Beefy]

Poor Misa. She was better off with Higuchi.

You'd think the US would be able to track a missile. If not then NORAD is pretty worthless.

[Lazerboy5000]

K.L.M.N. Kira L Mello and Near spell out letters of the alphabet in order!
I noticed that too. :anime:

This episode should be quite a thriler. Kira's only optinion seems to be to kill Syau... but this is Death Note, so anything goes.

[Lightning Tiger]

You'd think the US would be able to track a missile. If not then NORAD is pretty worthless.

not realy, most missiles like that go out of the earths apmosphere and then re-enter the earth to land at the target location, they cant track that, its too fast too.

[Jacob T. Paschal]

If Light didn't care to kill his best friend I doubt he'll care to kill his sister considering he had no problem offing the investigation team...led by his own pappy. Light would only spare Sayu because it would benefit him or he figured he could use it to his advantage.

L was never Light's best friend. Light was just acting like a friend to keep L off his game and it worked perfectly.

[Captain Highwind]

The opening feels kind of dated now... :(

[bigdeath]

I'm not sure what the point of this show is anymore. It seems this show can only end with Light buying the farm and we are just waiting for it to happen.

I think I just miss L too much. :sweat:

[Jacob T. Paschal]

L was never Light's best friend. Light was just acting like a friend to keep L off his game and it worked perfectly.

Something like this could more or less be taken in many ways but L was a rival to Light, yes. Maybe deep down Light also felt like this friend but either way, he and L were 'close'.

[bigdeath]

Except I don't really see any signs that Light misses L or any remorse or even hesitation to kill him. On the other hand, Light's sister is a different story...

Crud, I feel more for her. This evil guy has been using her for years and she still believes it's true love. When you think about what they probably do in the bedroom and how he's only in it to pleasure himself and would rather kill her....it makes me sick.

What was with that bit at the end? Ryuk's book is actually stolen from another Shinigami? Is that what he said?

[Jacob T. Paschal]

Well, he does find it boring without him.

[bigdeath]

The rate things are going with the two replacements for L and things won't be boring for him anymore. :shrug:

The Caramello commercial. Now, where's my prize...? :evil: [update: DARN YOU, MR. HIGHWIND! DARN YOU TO THE HOME FOR INFINITE LOSERS! :D drat my slow typing--and double drat!]

As for the ep: more fantastic DN stuff.

Light sparing Sayu: 1. If Sayu died, daddy Yagami would know the TRUTH, and that CAR SCENE would happen again--this time, for *real*. 2. Possibly some miniscule shred of conscience is left. 3. The writers wanted her to live. :D

[Kitschensyngk]

Last time: Saved by the L: The New Class.

"N"? What happened to "M"?

No success catching Kira? Gee, I wonder why. F.

Look out, Los Angeles. Misa is coming.

A detour...TO CUBA?

You say you're not hijacking the plane, but you just forcibly assume the pilot's seat and change the direction the plane is going, threatening to exterminate the passengers unless they do as you say?

That's gotta be the brightest scenery this show's given us so far.

Whoa! Don't snap at your hubby. Jeez.

Nice dice tower Near.

Dang, someone's got heavy artillery.

The notebook is on the missile? What?

And the bodies start falling like a house of dice.

That creature from The Price is Right has an orphanage? That's why he kept stealing money. :P

Another new shinigami?

[FlyByNite77]

Oh noez not the fro!

:crying:

[Animeforever'04]

what the!? a Hijacking!?

[Lightning Tiger]

the moment of truth is soon.

it will decide once and for all if Mr.Yagami is a cop first and a parent second or a parent first and a cop second

lets hope its the former.....

[Megaman X]

Man do orphans have some kind of not getting fat from eating sweets power? I mean L eats a whole load of food and Mello eats chocolate all the time.. do they have some kind of off-screen work outs?

[Animeforever'04]

i think i just saw Zechs!?
http://www.ladytreize.com/ozthumb4_lg_zechs.jpg
holy **** is Light freaking the frigg out~
A MISSLE HOLY **** ON SIDE!

[Lightning Tiger]

well, i guess hes a parent first and a cop second.

people, and thats why all detectives should be family/love-less badass loners who put the job before everything else.

[FlyByNite77]

WTF? Did Death Note morph into a James Bond movie?

Super Villain compound shoots a missile out of nowhere?

[Lightning Tiger]

okay, seriously, no mafia in the world has acces to freeking missile rockets and underground bases, no way in hell.

EDIT: Aizawas afro.......... is dead

[Megaman X]

Hey guys o_o um people are saying they are already watching Bleach but Death note came on for me... WHAT THE FUDGE IS GOING ON!?

EDIT: OMG WAIT I MISSED BLEACH!? ..STUPID TIME SLOT CHANGE. Great now I have to stay up later to watch it >.>

yea I also didn't remember there was another timeslot change happening... Late night repeat for me as well now.

[Hyper Shadow X]

Thought that the ending was pretty funny/

[PickHut]

It's hilarious how absurd most of the second half of the episode became, yet, I was still glued to the screen wanting to know what happens next. It was also funny how, for Near and Mellow, it's more about beating each other than it is to capture Kira in the name of justice.

[Grenzer]

That creature from The Price is Right has an orphanage? That's why he kept stealing money. :P

It was Press Your Luck for your information, and that still does not excuse how annoying he was.

[Kiryu]

I wonder how Near and L used to interact with each other, that would be a weird sight. They'd both be squatting awkwardly in their chairs staring vacantly at each other with those big, haunted eyes in silence...I bet they had some fun parties!

In unrelated news, I felt so bad for Misa the way Light was treating her. I mean yeah she's a clueless, sometimes-annoying ditz but she doesn't deserve to get yelled at like that by a 'loved one'. And when he slapped the drink out of her hand, that was just harsh! Poor Misa :crying:

[Megaman X]

You no I did not comment about this before because I did not think about it before but..

MELLO HAS THE MOST WHINY VOICE EVER! I mean really just the sound of his voice sounds like a spoiled sore loser.

[Master Moron]

What was with that bit at the end? Ryuk's book is actually stolen from another Shinigami? Is that what he said?

Yes, it was mentioned about 30 episodes or so ago that Ryuk snuck two notebooks out of the shinigami world. He dropped one which Light found, and he keeps the other one on him, but he's never used it in the series. I was actually wondering where Ryuk got his other notebook from. I'm glad they finally explained it.

By the way, is it just me, or does this new shinigami(Shido, was it?) sound like Jason from Home Movies.

[Captain Highwind]

MELLO HAS THE MOST WHINY VOICE EVER! I mean really just the sound of his voice sounds like a spoiled sore loser.

I think it's funny. It's like he's always about to cry.

Weeeeell, let's not forget that Misa is a killer too. I can't really feel sorry for her.

[Lightning Tiger]

neither Near or Mellow actualy met L in person, they only heard him speak (with his distorted voice on a laptop) at Wammy House, once. this will not be in the anime

[Kiryu]

Weeeeell, let's not forget that Misa is a killer too. I can't really feel sorry for her.

True...its easy to forget she's as much of a deranged psycho as Light, when she's always prancing around acting all cute and happy. In fact, that probably makes her *more* of a deranged psycho.

[sparkykandy]

I'm glad that Papa Yagami chose his own daughter instead of the Death Note. It may have been a hard decision, but I think that he chose the right one.

And Light decides not to kill his own sister after all. He's still an evil bastard.

You'd think that Misa would get a clue by now and dump Light. Sure he may be the one who killed her parents' killer, but he also shown time again and again that he doesn't care about her and is just willing to use her. But apparently not. If she hasn't learned by now, she'll never learn.

I also want to know how a gang can get their hands on a missile. Either way, that gang is amazingly well funded.

Err, wow, watching all those members of the SPK die like that. Makes you think twice about wanting to catch Kira.

[Dark Moridin]

The notebook is on the missile? What?

And the bodies start falling like a house of dice.

That creature from The Price is Right has an orphanage? That's why he kept stealing money. :P

Another new shinigami?

(edited by me for no reason other than to find my train of thought)

ok, this episode became real silly with the whole underground based stocked with getaway missiles. Yea, L's tower was a bit of a reach, except that it "could" happen, but would have needed at least a couple of years before hand to be built, but a MISSILE??? you would think that would raise red flags in whatever country they had this underground base (not sure if it was america or not).

As for Misa and Light, I would feel bad for Misa, except that she already knows this arrangement. remember, she has given her life to Light, even saying that she expected him to kill her, and that she would do anything for him just to be near him. for her, just having Light acknowledge her validates her. Sad, yes, but remember, her devotion to Light has not only endured all the confinement and near torture from L, but also the memory loss when she gave up her notebook. Short of daily beatings, I don't think Misa will fault Light for any of his actions. That, and not the killings, are what make her so deranged.

[Lazerboy5000]

The opening feels kind of dated now... :(
During the hey, hey, human sucker lines there is one shot of Mello and at the end of that part there’s a shot of Near. But other than that, it is sort of outdated.

[Radio Clash 5150]

Watching this episode, the only thing that kept coming to my mind was: "Dang, Mello must have a lot of money to be able to come up with a scheme like this".

[Sandoz]

It also features Mikami and Takada so it's still relevant.

What you bring that around town for?

[Lazerboy5000]

I knew that Light wouldn’t be able to kill his own sister.

It seemed like he had a good plan, but Mello was one step ahead of him every step of the way.

Oh, and about the infinite pages in the death note, I guess that’s true because when Light opened the small piece on the watch, Higuchi’s name was gone and he could write on it again. So I guess the name disappear after a certain period of time.

How can Near say that he doesn’t have a photograph of Mello, I thought he had one in the last episode?

Light ate the previous piece and replaced it with a new one, I think.

i think thats the idea

he is a very emotional kid XD

Oh yeah...that shot always bugged me because I kept trying to find him in the crowd of Yotsuba members. Drove me nuts for the majority of that arc.

[Vallen Valiant]

It wasn't mentioned in the anime, but that piece of paper with Higuchi's name was swallowed by Light as soon as he could. The piece of paper this time was a new sheet.

[Beat]

I think this is the first time Light has been completely and utterly outsmarted by an opponent. Not even L could do that.

[Beefy]

I think this is the first time Light has been completely and utterly outsmarted by an opponent. Not even L could do that.
L got Light to kill Lind L. Taylor, and Light fell for it.
This was Light's first mistake and helped L determine where Kira lives.

[FinnMacCool]

I think this is the first time Light has been completely and utterly outsmarted by an opponent. Not even L could do that.

Light didn't actually get outsmarted, though. Mello doesn't really strike me as smarter than Light or L, but he makes up for it by being significantly more ruthless and direct than L was willing to be. For example, when the evidence point to Light and Misa not being Kira, L let them go (though under surveillance) even though he was still certain they were connected to Kira somehow. If Mello had been in L's position, he probably would have either killed Light and Misa or kept them locked up forever, even if he couldn't prove his suspicions.

[Lazerboy5000]

It wasn't mentioned in the anime, but that piece of paper with Higuchi's name was swallowed by Light as soon as he could. The piece of paper this time was a new sheet.
That works too. :anime:

[Neo Ultra Mike]

Say what you will about Mellow and being emotional and sort of androgyonous (and I guess being ruthless) and enjoying snacking on super hard candy bars, but he gets his plans done. After hijacking Sayu and then an airplane and making sure no one can follow the Chief too closley and setting up a system of getting the Death Note and then having one his assocites test it out on one of they're useless members, Mellow actually gets the book. And Light's pretty much helpless to do anything. Not due to his more humane side about not wanting to kill Sayu, but his mastermind jerky side reasoning that would just make him suspcious. Between that and yelling a lot at Misa Light sure is probably pissing off all the feminists with his attidue toward women. Oh well, at least with Near's side about all gone (though Near isn't since his name is protected and I guess Mellow wants him alive anyway) that means he may not be as much of a threat, for like an ep or two. Wonder what Mellow's next move should be. Hopefully a bit more believable then the plane hijackings and missle decoys and everything. Eh still in addition to Light losing we also get a glimpse of another Shinigami, this one actually going to interact with the human world. (Way back I thought in episode 9 there would be one that wasn't Rem but turns out I misinterrepted that. Here though we deinfltye know what's coming). Okay so that makes two Shinigami, two L wannabees with vastly different ways of doing something, two "Kiras" and probably more then two reasons to tune into the next Death Note episode.

[Jacob T. Paschal]

Friends, it's 'Mello', no 'w'. :)

As for Near and Mello, they have knowledge of the Death Note's, something L never had. Light has finally gotten what he wants, a challenge.

[Palamon]

How can Near say that he doesn’t have a photograph of Mello, I thought he had one in the last episode?


Near was saying that to the second L, so I'm guessing Near wants to keep some secrets to himself and doesn't trust the Japanese task force with that privileged information.

[Beat]

And with the other Shinigami, it seems endgame is approaching.

Dumb question- Is he a TV exclusive?

[Rolling Cloud]

And with the other Shinigami, it seems endgame is approaching.

The dude at the end? He was in the manga as well.

[Bones Justice]

Great episode.

I figure Mello used his intellect to set up the desert base with the missile. Either it's an abandoned base (not unheard of in the USA) or somehow Mello blackmailed someone to gain control of an active one. The former being more believable but the latter would make it easier to believe that they could get their hands on a missile. Either way, it's not that unbelievable given the rest of the story (Death Note, Shinigami, etc).

I can't figure Light in this episode, though. He obviously seemed concerned about killing his sister which doesn't fit his character. Even when he finally decides against it because he reasons that only the police could know about the kidnapping, it sounded like rationalizing by Light to me. He was looking for an excuse not to kill his sister.
