** On a lighter note, debate rages on in the fandom as to what the characters' specific sexual orientations are. In particular, whether Danny's a lesbian or not. (This tends to come up whenever her possible ShipTease with Kirsch is discussed.)


Added DiffLines:

** Mattie, for being another cool vampire, AffablyEvil, and incredibly beautiful.

** On the one hand, while obviously not the bad guys, they up and abandon Silas when a literal hellmouth opens because of their actions, only returning after much hardship [[AllThereInTheManual only for a gnoll in a mountain to bring them "home" again]]. She also doesn't acknowledge the fact that the Summer Society, Alchemy Club and Zetas actually stayed and helped to try and provide or protect for the simple, average students having no idea on what the hell is going on
** On the other, the group had just been finished dealing with the already mighty forces [[spoiler:the Light and Carmilla's mother]] provided, part of which involved Carmilla, the badass vampire, ''very nearly dying''. It's hard to think of a way they could have fought against said hellmouth when dealing with just a fraction of it was so difficult, and they had no way of knowing [[spoiler:that the abomination inside would get stuck coming out]]. Laura is genuinely remorseful about the state that everything is in, and her first response upon learning about the power struggle is to try and get some genuine authority involved. When that fails, [[ChronicHeroSyndrome she resolves to help fix everything]], despite all the crap she'd endured from the start of Season 1 and after.
