This is your OMG END OF Death Note spoilery discussion post. (through Chapter 107 - I hear tell there's a Chapter 108 that's an epilogue, but I havne't read it so don't spoil me if it's true. :D)



Well, my primary feeling at reading 106 and 107 is "It's about damn time." And a sense of relief - I'd been getting various bits and peices of people's reactions for the past few days and there was a lot of "OH GOD no, not that!" type stuff and I was deathly afraid she'd brought L back somehow, which would have been about the biggest cop-out imaginable.

My reaction is an overwhelming "meh," but I haven't really cared about where Death Note was headed for chapters upon chapters. If I hadn't known it was going to end soon, I would have dropped it entirely.

Ooba'd pretty much written herself into a corner back when L kicked it, and dug a little way out of it with the timeshift forward, but ended up thoroughly in the corner - there was no way that anything other than the end of story, one way or the other, could happen. And I guess they couldn't go the interesting route and have Evil triumph over Good, so Light had to die.
