Can you send me a signed photo of yourself crying while doing something that I'll explain via PM?

I'll do anything for drugs. Anything. You want a baggie full of assorted fluids?

A bottle of Tylenol is on the way. You can tell your friends it's that good Cali ****.

Nice. I've been looking for a way to build up to heroin.

We can, we just need to hold up an artist's rendition.

You're just racist against Asians.

Spoiler for Death Note:
I hope Death Note didn't just kill the only character I don't hate intensely. The show can't win with me now: Either I hate everyone who remains and the story progresses unsatisfactorily, or they bring him back from the dead and I lose respect for the story and the writers.

I finished it.

Spoiler for Deth Noat:

That wasn't great. Double twist at the end was predictable from 5-6 episodes prior. Ending wasn't earned and didn't feel satisfying. The king's fall wasn't protracted enough to make me feel vindicated after watching the lead character be a bag of dicks for 36 episodes.

Whole thing went off the rails when they decided to kill L, then replace him with an identical character who filed the same role, but provided none of the inner dialogue of the former character. Without L's internal monologue, the development ceased to feel like it was being logically deduced and began to feel like "magical TV characters' convenient telepathy guesstime theatre".

Plot became super convoluted and cluster****y when they had 3 active notebooks in rotation and kept switching the owners and changing who remembers what. Pretty sure there are a couple of plotholes in all of that mess. E.g., At one point the entire task force could interact with Ryuk despite the task force not being in possession of the notebook... yet every character overlooked this and didn't think it was weird when A) a shinigami started to hang out with them for no reason and B) when he stopped, also for no clear reason.

Big disappointment and waste of a good premise. Don't understand why this is lauded the way it is.

Meh/10
