1. Season 1 was really cheesy early on, but I never thought that it was as terrible as everyone else apparently did lol. There were certain aspects that they could have done without, like the fog and the crow, but overall the episodes still worked for me as an intro to the show
2. I liked Caroline in season 1 before she became a vampire, I always thought that her character was interesting with her being shallow and popular on the surface with snarky comebacks, but riddled with insecurities underneath. It was really towards the end of season 1 when the character got bogged down in the relationship with Matt, but early on she was already shaping up to be one of my favourites, and Candice did a great job of making me feel for Caroline when Damon was feeding off her. Even towards the end of season 1 she still had her moments, in the Mystic Falls episode for example when she overcomes her jealousy and encourages Elena to compete. In fact I remember her being pretty popular at the time and most viewers already preferring her over Bonnie, so I don't really understands all of the dismissal for season 1 Caroline and how she only became a worthwhile character after becoming a vampire
3. I like Stefan's character more than Damon, at times I've actively disliked Damon and really struggled with the character (particularly in season 2 when his treatment of Andie made me very uncomfortable, even more so when other characters seemed to take it in stride and Alaric would just make comments on don't kill her because that would really get me into trouble with Jenna???)
4. Erm lets see, I'm not a big fan of Matt, I think that the actor who plays him is terrible and comes across as constipated and clenched jawed most of the time. Matt is supposedly the human heart of the show, but most of the time I just find him really self-righteous
5. Oh and I don't know if this is unpopular or not, but the morality of the show bothers me a lot at times. Elena was distraught when she killed Connor, even though that was in defense of Jeremy and Connor was a pretty murderous and ruthless guy, but then she will plot to kill all of Kol's vampire line as a great strategy. If we go along with Elena always having treated vampires as sentiments beings, then isn't that mass murder of a bunch of people that she's never even met or given a chance too? Yet it only seems to be an ethical dilemma if a human dies, even though most of the main cast are vampires themselves now!
