I feel like she was pretty well-written in season 1? I loved the discovery of her magic and the dangers it presented. I loved the friendship she began to build with Stefan and how that was affected when her Grams died doing the tomb spell. I loved how she gained this hard edge and these anti-vampire feelings after her Grams was killed and that eventually drove her to lying about de-spelling the device because she was afraid of what would happen if the vampires ever got out of control and the device was the only way to deal with them. I loved that she then saw the faulty logic there and worked to help save Stefan and Damon and basically came away with the stance that she would leave Damon be as long as he didn't cross the line and hurt someone. I thought all of that was actually pretty good character development, but maybe you disagree.

Then in season 2, that all sort of fell to the way-side because Damon and Stefan and Katherine had to be kept around regardless of their actions and Bonnie's sole focus became protecting Elena. All of the development she may have gotten started happening off-screen in season 2 and that trend has continued in season 3 to a pretty staggering degree. We also don't seem to be getting very much in the way of Bonnie's POV, which I do think we got to a certain extent in season 1/early season 2.

S1 was okay...admittedly, it's been a while since I watched it. I guess I didn't latch onto what she got in S1 enough to make me like her through the pretty shitty stuff that followed? IIRC I liked her after watching S1, but I wasn't really in love, and when all the shiny vampire things came along in S2/3, I guess that's when I started to dislike her.

So I guess for me, there wasn't enough to latch onto, which is weird as fuck, because I usually latch onto minor characters and the ones who have to deal with the most potential internal conflict.

IDK. This show.
