I'm pretty much on board with all that except Alaric, he's pretty much third behind Stefan and Caroline for me, but I agree that he wasn't on often enough last season (I heard they planned to kill him in S1, maybe they needed time to figure out what to do with him). Alaric is just so broken and twisted in so many ways, but still with a strong core of goodness and humor, and I love writing characters like that. I hope they do more with him in S3. I don't like Damon either, but I love their chemistry (though I'd probably jump ship if someone better came along ;-)).
Tyler is a good example of how well these writers can develop characters when they try. He went from being a bully who almost date-raped Vicki to someone who recognizes his problems, regrets the things he did, and tries to control himself (though I wish they'd done more with him trying to make up everything he did or didn't do to Caroline - a redemption arc would have been really satisfying).
Also, I love both Bonnie and Katherine. This new Becky character sounds so similar to Katherine, though, I'm sort of worried that they're killing off Katherine and bringing Becky in as a replacement.
