Forget Light, L was the true mastermind , with an incredibly subtle plan that transcended his own death and went Exactly as Planned. L's pupils, however, contract.
Unless they were going for a Psycho homage, I can't see this as anything other than a major neon sign pointing out the fact that he's a big ol' faker if it's just a case of artistic license, why did they make such a point of focusing on those shiny grey irises? Now, when Rem killed L with her Death Note, she didn't gain his lifespan because she had already died from killing Watari.
L's lifespan didn't have anywhere to go, and had already been transformed by Rem's Note so it stayed with him and became usable to him as a shinigami. And, in the anime, when Light was finally defeated by Mello and Near and dies, L goes down to witness Light's death , his reasons for doing so are debatable.
Bear with me here. The gigantic amounts of candy are a subsitute for cigarettes. The original plan was to cut down on candy after a while. It didn't go so well. Most of Light's victories come about either because he knows the rules of the Death Note better than his adversary, or he just got lucky. Every direct play between him and L end in L utterly dominating the field, such as, again, Lind L. Tailor, or the bait and switch with Misa's cellphone.
Lind L. Tailor is the most obvious point. That was a terrible mistake made out of pride and anger. Light talked himself up quite a bit about how clever it was that he was letting his enemy know about how he's a member of the police force, in a terrible plan to try and alienate L from them. This did not work at all. The most it did was narrow down the members of the force working with L, narrowing the field of officers Light could be getting information from.
He was able to find the spycams through no fault of his own, because he managed to talk Ryuk into doing it instead. Light's first case of "Victory solely because of supernatural elements no one else knows about". He was able to kill Raye Penber solely through the advantage of the Death Note which was in itself a mistake given the attention it drew , but even after his cleverly devising a way to muddy the waters as to which FBI agent Kira was being investigated by, he still wound up giving a helpful clue to L and identifying him.
Because he just had to stop and gloat on the train, allowing L to deduce that Raye, desperately reaching for him in his final moments, was looking right at Kira. He stumbled upon Naomi Misora purely by luck. He did cleverly manage to get her real name from her, which allowed him to kill her, and then had to stop and gloat again. What would have happened if she'd married Raye and gotten her ID change? The Death Note would have failed to kill her, and Light would have been apprehended right then and there; even if he'd managed to persuade away his gloating, the question of why he was pretending to be a member of the investigation would be extremely condemning in L's eyes.
He managed to keep a good poker face when L ambushed him at the college; there is no denying that Light is a very good actor, but that doesn't make him a very good Chessmaster. When the crisis with the second Kira came up, he managed to hook up with Misa. Not because of his own cleverness in outmaneuvering L; L thwarted his hopes of using the investigation's message to her, and it was Misa that came up with the plan to meet at Aoyama. Light put in plenty of planning to go meet her, which only called attention to him from L, something that would come back repeatedly later on down the road.
It was because of Misa, her Shinigami Eyes, and an understanding of a mechanic Light didn't know, that they were able to find each other. It had nothing to do with Light; Misa did all the brainwork. When he devised the plan to kill L, it was thwarted by L's cellphone bait and switch, that so completely defeated Light that he was forced to come up with the Memory Gambit. The Memory Gambit Gambit Roulette itself has more than a few holes in it. It was Rem that made it work. Light wins the Memory Gambit on account of supernatural forces no one else can use.
And then he killed L. Only, no, he really didn't. Rem killed L, and that was something that was going to happen one way or another. The moment Rem stepped onto the field, the game became unwinnable for L, because unlike Ryuk, she was willing to act against him. There was nothing he could do short of giving full amnesty to Light and Misa, that would not result in Rem killing him. Stronger skills lead to subjects matured much slower.
Near also had such powers, but probably not fully awakened or just a bit weaker than L's, however he was much less subtle with their demonstration because he was less experienced in using them, much less known in the world and had full support of his team, while L was all the time under suspicion by members of Taskforce, despite being stronger. Mello, on the other hand, was much weaker than L, but probably was smarter than Near himself and so was with him almost on par.
This also evens balance of power, making Light's struggle look much more impressive. Sorry for my English. Because, c'mon, that hug at the end of the novel. Plus, a lot of his dialogue in the phone conversations seem like he's trying to impress her and is completely clueless to how annoying she finds him.
After she kicks him and he finds out she has a boyfriend, the bad experience causes him to pretty much give up on relationships and become the basement-dwelling Covert Pervert we know today. The investigation of the so-called Kira was imagined by Light and was his inner conscience protesting the killing of criminals. That side of him would be manifested as L, who is essentially exactly like Light in terms of intelligence and skill, but unwilling to conform to societal norms to represent the stress that came with being always perfect.
Misa was already a famous model before Light found the Note; Light only imagined having a relationship with her as part of his repressed sexuality. L, Light's subconscious "good" side, weakened as Light's "evil" side grew stronger and eventually died. Light was put into a coma as part of a failed suicide attempt when the police began suspecting him of killing the gang member. At the end, when he is killed, it is his moral subconscious, resurrected as Near, rejecting the world he's constructed for himself.
He is not sent into nothingness, but the world he lived in is. He spent those eight years in the coma and is now just waking up. This would mean Aizawa, a competent investigator, would not be around Light for the months he was unable to remember that he was Kira. L deduced that if Light should kill him and take over the task force, that Aizawa would return to the task force if he had not already , and thus the task force would include someone most inclined to consider the possibilty that Light was Kira, having not been around him during his temporary "innocence".
This would provide L's successor with a clear insight to the workings of the task force, and a vital weapon to use against Light. L may even have left instructions for Near that Aizawa was the surest bet for defeating Kira. Forget Light, L was the true mastermind , with an incredibly subtle plan that transcended his own death and went Exactly as Planned.

The detective watched him and slowly sat at the edge of the bed, their faces inches away.
Light swallowed thickly, looking around the man's face. He hasn't surfaced yet. It's only been two days. He could still be trying to figure things out. Here, I got us some food. He undid the handcuffs and Light rubbed at his wrist, feeling the marks against his skin. His brow quirked, lips twitching weakly.
Light scowled and considered, clenching his hands. As much as he hated to admit it, L had a point. It was probably in his best interest to lay low. After all, if Note really wanted to hurt him- his eyes widened. If Note really wanted to hurt him, he'd go after his family.
Note wouldn't do that, right? He was angry, but he wasn't a bad person. Light groaned, massaging his temple. He rested his chin in the cup of his hand, looking just The fact that Watari was dead still hadn't completely registered.
Everything around him just felt He knew he had to keep it together, but he felt like curling up and just Light hugged his knees, considering the detective.
Light was surprised by the stab of hurt, his hair sweeping in front of his face. The answer wasn't completely wrong. There was nothing between them He gave a soft chuckle, feeling they had some sort of audience, watching and mocking him. I was just thinking we could What did Light seriously expect? L slowly inched closer, their faces inches away and the man getting a reading on him.
Was Light saying L exhaled slowly. He supposed it made sense. After being in such pain and humiliation, Light probably wanted a familiar face. Someone who understood him like no one else did. L didn't like the flash of sympathy that ran through him, urging him to just The detective hesitated, large charcoal eyes flickering between the other's soft lips and uncertain amber eyes, taking in the flecks of gold in his iris. Light inhaled sharply at the invitation, pulse pounding so loudly in his eardrums that he was almost certain the man could hear it.
How could he not? His eyes snapped up, locking with L's gaze. His breath wanted to staccato, but he tried to hold it together, tried to keep his face neutral. Light slowly reached forward, brushing L's messy bangs away from his face and behind his ear. His fingers lingered on L's cheek, gently touching. L hummed, rolling the situation over in his head. He needed to find Note, and then His eyes darkened. Ryuk phased through the wall, breaking the stillness of the motel room with a loud voice.
He whooped, twisting mid-air. Light yelped in surprise, tumbling off the bed. He groaned, pain flaring up his side. L instinctively jumped to his feet, eyes flashing in alarm. The detective's hand flew to his waistband and Light blinked.
Oh shit. L had a gun tucked beneath that baggy shirt, didn't he? He pushed himself to a sitting position, scowling at the Shinigami. Of the second note? Light nodded and sighed, holding up his watch. He fished out the scrap and lightly pressed it against the back of L's hand, telling himself to ignore how smooth and warm the man's skin was. L's eyes slid up and widened a fraction, his body going still. He stared at the god in astonishment, almost too dumbfounded to say anything.
Ryuk looked For one thing, his lips were stretched into a permanent smile, which made him so much more unnerving. There was something so wild and chaotic about the creature's eyes that were calm, collected and mature in Rem's.
