I liked Clare better back in her glasses-wearing days. Then she got laser eye surgery and yeah... I think she is kind of portrayed as being "perfect." She was always morally "good" but she was also really awkward back then. Now she's pretty, has this amazing life, and she never does anything bad. At the same time, that's why lot of people like her I suppose. It's difficult to find things bad about her whereas other characters get criticized constantly.

I completely agree. They try to make her out as the perfect person and it's not working, with me at least. You're right, her life does pretty much revolve around Eli now. Clare isn't as independent as she used to be. As far as her & KC go, really KC was brought into the show as a plot device for Clare. He was really one-dimensional when he was with Clare, but after they split we've learned a lot more about his character. Although I think it was pretty unclear where they were actually going to go in the first place.

Definitely. KC was originally introduced as the cute bad boy that the fangirls were supposed to like. And it worked, because they loved him back then. I think that started to change in season 9 though. And now he is much more interesting and less perfect then he was. I am enjoying his storyline much more now.
If you watch season 8 though, it's funny how similar the KC/Clare beginnings are to Eli/Clare. the whole not caring what other people think thing, KC & Eli having a secret, etc. some of the dialogue is even the exact same. It's weird. I actually do understand how KC was attracted to Clare's "goodness" back in season 8 when he was trying to turn his life around.
