Death Note - 1x05 - Tactics

    Light executes his plan, which involves killing the FBI agent that was following him.  He uses that agent to kill off all the other FBI agents that were sent to Japan to assist in the investigation.  Raye Penber's girlfriend survives, and plans on tracking Kira as well.  The FBI withdraw from the investigation.  There are very few people left that are willing to work on the case, and the remaining investigators strike a deal to meet with L, so that they can trust each other in their collaboration.
    The show has started to change a little.  Light's behavior has been moving into a much more villainous territory.  His decision to kill Raye - as well as a variety of other FBI agents he doesn't know - seems too preemptive for my tastes.  It's also that Light seems to have forgotten about his primary goal of eliminating criminals.  Now the elimination of criminals seems to just be his method of playing a cat and mouse game with investigators.
    This episode also had two really goofy bits.  The conversation between Raye and his girlfriend was hilarious, and Light's sister has some great enthusiasm at the dinner table.
