Those kinds of posts don't belong on this forum, missy! ;)
I was kind of surprised you and Bel didn't speak up after I made that post. I figured you two were probably the biggest Light-haters.
Oh, I also forgot to mention something in my last post. Bel mentioned on IRC how she thought Light's sister's voice was annoying (or something to that effect), and I just want to say that I agree. It's not bad when she's talking normally, but that extended "Gohan dayo!" was irritating.

It's not so much as I find it annoying, as I find it piercing. Like nails down a chalkboard. To make matters worse, there's something acoustically different about her voice, at least in the first few episodes. It's like they recorded her in a different studio than everyone else or something. Did anyone else notice this? Or am I just being overly picky because I listen to every line in every episode at least 4-5 times?

Well, I am one of those lucky people that the forums are hating on right now, :P so I've only been able to access them twice in the past 2 weeks. :'( That's why I didn't respond sooner ;)

As for the TV in the bag trick: Shouldn't the pen/ pencil be hitting the top of the bag, thus resulting in a noticeable crease along the top? I do think it was a clever idea, though.

He used a piece of lead, or really tiny pencil. I'm not just making this up: he uses it later on in the series, too.

The TV in bag with mini-pencil was a clever idea, but throwing it away the way he did was an unnecessary risk. An empty chip bag and one with a TV in it do not fall the same way. When Light dumped his wastebasket, his mother could have noticed something amiss and being a good mother might have checked to make sure Light wasn't accidentally throwing away something important. Taking it one step further, what if L had dressed up one of his minions as the garbage collector? I think Light must have realized the risk on some level since he makes sure to watch the trash bags get compacted. Factoring in the considerable cost, I'll be surprised if we see this method again anytime soon.
The question I've been working on lately is whether Ryuk wants Light to succeed. The chances of the Death Note falling into the hands of someone more calculating (and thus entertaining for Ryuk) is remote, so should Light ever be captured it would mean the end of Ryuk's fun. However, I can't shake the feeling that Ryuk only appears to be in Light's corner. Like a NASCAR fan who's in it for the crashes, the reason Ryuk is hanging around and observing so closely may be to see an eventual defeat. We saw previously when Naomi gave Light a false name, Ryuk did nothing to assist, though his amusement inadvertently provided a clue. Was Ryuk really unable to say anything? Even though he technically is not supposed to interfere, Ryuk later does in fact assist Light when he locates all the security cameras. Superficially, this is so he can continue eating apples, but I believe the real reason for confirming that there is nowhere to hide from the cameras is to create a challenge for Light. The key factor linking these two incidences is that Ryuk's actions (or inaction) make things harder for Light and force him to think of some devious solution to his situation. I think Ryuk's role in the story is too passive to directly lead Light to ruin, but I wouldn't rule out Ryuk failing to help out at a key moment in the future if it meant being entertained.
