Deadpool_18 08/30/17 4:24:50 AM #1:	I genuinely want to, but there's never ever a quiet moment on the show, even when it isn't a dramatic moment. Constant babble between characters in a way that just doesn't flow naturally. It doesn't let you piece anything together without explaining like you're five years old the moment a new plot device is introduced. Eventually I find myself being brow beaten with explanations that I could have reached on my own if the show would stop explaining every minute detail. And all the while these explanations are being given we just pan back and forth to awkward staring matches between Light and L. Literally any pause as long as the ones Light gives L when presented with case information would have given him away in an instant. But nope. He mentally composes himself for five minutes with a blank stare and hits L with "Nope. Not me." You'd think Light's shit reverse psychology would be a lot more transparent to the other characters. --- We're whalers on the moon, we carry a harpoon, but there ain't no whales, so we tell tall tales, and sing our whaling tune. <cite>Deadpool_18 posted [p:885703728] in It's hard ...

Dunno if it has those same moments but it may feel less jarring since it's not a real-time thing and translates better on paper. There's a scene where Light literally narrates every step in his plan to avoid being caught by the camera bugs. Overly dramatic music is playing while he's just sitting in his chair. One line completely ruined any immersion I hoped to keep. He bites a potato chip like it's made of venison and says "I'll take a potato chip....and EAT!!!" --- We're whalers on the moon, we carry a harpoon, but there ain't no whales, so we tell tall tales, and sing our whaling tune. <cite>Deadpool_18 posted [p:885721455] in It's hard ...
