I think that you like Delena from the beginning also because you are influenced by your friend's opinion. Because in the first season no one shipped Delena, literally no one, Damon was supposed to be the anti-hero.
Ian was applauded for his acting skills because he had managed to garner the hate in the initial episodes. And then later his growth graph was observed and writers and the actor were applauded for executing that
Right now you have to much exposure to future storyline.
P.S. I had watched the show when it had aired, waiting each week for the new episode, so my opinion was free of anyone else's judgement.
