2. I _love_ Near, but yeah, he's an L clone lol. If you don't see that you're lying to yourself. And quite honestly the series wasn't the same after L died. How could it have been? I for one was a huge fan of the dynamic between Misa, Light and L, and that basically was kicked to the curb once L died. (For obvious reasons, I hope?) Furthermore, Light became much more ruthless after that and the psychological game started all over again, with different players. It really did.
But different doesn't necessarily mean worse. You're kidding yourself if you don't think anything changed after L died, but it's totally subjective whether or not you think the plot got better or worse. I for one hated it while I read, but now that it's been nearly a year it's really grown on me. It's just personal preference really.
And as there wasn't ANY closure after L's death, it's easy to see why some fans might have felt bitter that everything kept going at such a fast pace, and that he was basically forgotten and "replaced". (But again, this is mostly my playing devil's advocate. There really isn't a Death Note character I dislike.)
