I liked Bellamys hair in season 1!!!
Granted Kate, when I first watched the pilot I was probably distracted doing other things. I dont give new shows much of my attention, which is kind of sad, but true. It caught me enough to make me keep watching but I didn't love it so I didnt think too hard about the characters. And all I remember of Bellamy in the pilot is basically going against everyone and shouting a lot.
I did like him by episode 2 though because I thought there was more to him then people thought and I thought he had good chemistry with Clarke. So it didnt take long.
The first time around I didnt really care about Finn, but this time I think hes a nice guy. I dont dislike him .
As for the show itself it didnt grab me at all in season 1. It was kinda of cliche/teen show in the first few episodes, but sadly, thats what held my attention because they're kind of my guilty pleasure.
So when it kinda of started to edge away from that I got bored and I gave the show up after season 1.
I think season 2 is when things really picked up, for me personally.
