I never hated Alec, and I was predisposed to like Jensen before I watched, but he wasn't a OMG I LOVE HIM type character for me. I thought he was funny, but I was indifferent to him most of the time. I wanted to adore him, but I just couldn't most of the time. Not like how I adore Dean.
I don't know what it was that changed it for me. I think after I watched the seris, sat back, and thought about it, I started to see him a little differently. I also wrote a fanfic for him and I think writing him - as odd as that sounds - gave me a better appreciation for him. Since then, I've only written a few fics with him, but I think he's amazingly complex and I'm bummed we never got to see where his character ended up. I felt like there was so much to explore with him in the Ben/Alec dynamic. It interested me so much that I'm run with a similar type storyline in some of my original stuff.
But yeah. I guess you can say he grew on me ;)
I'll check out the vid and see if I can figure it out :)
