Actual first impressions *like the moment you first meet them and hear/see just enough to figure out who the character 'is' initially*,  obviously views progressed as the above did.

You would have to see the Original Star Trek series. The Red Shirt was the one who went to the planet surface with Spock and Kirk and died for the purpose of demonstrating the effectiveness of this week's monster. They usually wore red.

Well after the the ME2 promo trailers:

Jack - crazy
Samara - crazy
Tali - meh
Thane - crazy
Miranda - crazy
Garrus - meh
Krogan - crazy
Jacob - I don't even remember if he had trailer. If so, meh.

[Legion of 1337]

Kaiden (remember? You see him first, not Jenkins): Oh snap he has wit. You're probably a cool guy.

Jenkins: *gets to the "don't play the hero" line from Shepard* You're going to die.

Ashley: Damsel in distress. Probably the love interest.

Garrus: Hm. They gave me this guy's full name. He definitely contributes more to the story later on then, or they wouldn't bother doing that.

Wrex: I gotta figure out what this guy's story is - oh, Shepard was reading my mind.

Tali: Kid, do you really know what you're getting yourself into?

Liara: Soft spoken, awkward damsel in distrest; obvious love interest.

Miranda: Wait, Yvonne?

Jacob: Wait, why am I supposed to care abotu some random security guard?

Mordin: Ah, the nutty professor. I like you already.

Jack: I can already tell this conversation is going to be strange.

Grunt: WTF is going on in your head man?

Zaeed: Hardcore but has a sense of humour. So long as you're not around when I do Paragon interupts we'll probably get get along fine.

Kasumi: That accent is terrible.

Samara: Whoa, ok, I'm not ****ing with you.

Thane: Ah, I see, space Altair.

Legion: Wait wut O.O

Vega: Wait who the **** are you?

Javik: Bad. ****ing. Ass.

I quoted and made changes where appropriate, and added wording. If what you had already said was in agreement with my assessment, I saw no reason to change the wording. Make sense?

She even stole the Black suit I bought for Miranda; Now if only she would apply a new layer of skin and hair color and make herself look like Dr. Eva Core again.

ME1
Kaidan: Is this one of those temporary squadmates in every BW game who'll only stick with me for the next hour or so? He's kind of just....there
Ashley: You're a soldier but I'm already a soldier so have fun sitting on the Normandy for the whole game 
Garrus: Ah, so you're the one I've heard so much about from literally everybod-OH SHI HE ACTUALLY TOOK THE SHOT WE'RE FEELING BALLSY TODAY HUH? 
Wrex: "I think we're going to get along just fine, Wrex". Hell yeah we are! 
Tali: Can you please keep your Quarian history lessons more concise? The spinning of the normandy's drive core in the backdrop is starting to strain my eyes. 
Liara: Wow, you're cute. So cute. It's settled, I'm sleeping with you. 

ME2
Jacob: Is that...Kanye West? I don't remember any of your songs about gravity being one mean mother. 
Miranda: Your facial structure freaks me out. I'm probably not going to like you. 
Zaeed: (snore) 
Mordin: I've been dying to have a salarian squadmate and you are just perfect.
Jack: Do I have to recruit you? I saw what you did to that prison ship and I swear, if my brand spanking new Normandy gets scratched...
Grunt: My heart has room for only one Krogan and you'll never reach his level of coolness. It could be worse, I suppose, for a minute I thought I was going to be stuck with Okeer  
Samara: Oh hey she looks pretty BA I wonder what she has to sa-(more snoring)
Thane: You're dying from disease but you still don't let that stop you from kicking every butt? Nice! Don't worry buddy I'll make the most of your limited time left alive by BRINGING YOU WITH ME FOR THE REST OF THE MISSIONS
Legion: Every other geth I've encountered prior to you wanted to blow my head off without even getting to know me first so I just want to hug you. Forever.

ME3: 
James: OH GOD I CAN'T TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY YOU LOOK SO RIDICULOUS HAVE FUN GETTING ALL OF YOUR DIALOGUE SKIPPED YOU GIANT TURD...okay but seriously, you're the closest thing to a Krogan squadmate I've got in this game? Please excuse me while I go throw up 
EDI: My goddess, please never stop with the jokes. People who were mad at the fact that you became a squadmate just don't understand our love. 
Javik: Is this even possible? Someone possibly surpassing Garrus and...*gasp* Legion in terms of outright coolness? 


Wow, looking back, Jack, Grunt, and Tali have reeeeeeeally grown on me since my first playthrough

I know James Vega has some loyal fans, I don't hate the guy, but there seems to be a pretty clear negative trend against Mac's character... Walters claimed to have personally 'shaped' James Vega (formerly known as 'Sanders') character in his homeworld comic book...

Vega comes off like another douche bro at first, but he kind of grows on you over the course of the game.  Compared to the other human male squadmates in the series he easily has the most personality.  I think most of the hate for him comes from the fact that he basically takes up the krogan slot, and most people would have preferred Wrex to come back instead.

[MrFob]

Ha, now that I think about it, I actually had pretty bad first impressions of most of the main characters. Most of them had to grow on me.

- Kaidan: Seemed a bit bland at first, especially compared to Joker in the first minute of the game. Got much better though.
- Jenkins: "Ah and here we have BioWare's tutorial guy" (no joke, that was my first thought)
- Ash: she had a cool intro, being the tough soldier in a tough spot. I immediately liked her
- Garrus: I also liked Garrus from the moment I met him. Despite his reckless action in the hospital. It never occurred to me that he could betray me, he just seemed so ... genuine.
- Wrex: Frankly, when I first saw Wrex in that conversation with the C-Sec guys, I thought he was stupid. You just don't talk to a police officer in that way, no matter how cool you think you are. Good for him the C-Sec guys were even more stupid and let him go. That intro is one of the most idiotic moments in the first Mass Effect IMO.
- Tali: Well, the typical damsel in distress ... with a grenade. I thought she started out as a bit too much of a plot device but she was ok
- Liara: To say it in the words of a beloved Siimpsons character: HAHA!
Seriously, I couldn't help but smirk when I saw her in that trap. BTW, I recommend to anyone to replay ME1 at least once and go to Therum last. Her intro in that case is priceless. Even better is her reaction on the Normandy during the debrief for the mission.

ME2:
- Jacob: Well, I actually played Galaxy before ME2 so I already "knew" Jacob. That said, I thought he was trying a bit too hard to be the cool guy ... and it stayed that way.
- Wilson: Traitor - obviously
- Miranda: Same as Jacob, already knew her but I thought her intro was quite effective. I rather disliked her after she shot Wilson in cold blood but it established her uncompromising character well.
- Tali again: I was really surprised to find her on Freedom's Progress. Unexpected and a nice moment for me since I had helped her in ME1
- Zaeed: A jerk. If I could have turned him away right then and there, I would have (and in retrospect, it would have been a mistake obviously)
- Mordin: What can I say, Mordin is just super cool from his first moment to his last.
- Garrus again: Garrus' reveal is one of the best moments in ME2, IMO. Unfortunately, some guy posted an unmarked link to a spoiler trailer on the BW forums before the game came out, so it wasn't a surprise for me, I wish it had been. Even though, great moment!
- Grunt: I didn't really like the Okeer mission that much but Grunt's intro on the Normandy is nice. I didn't trust Grunt for a long time though
- Jack: In the very beginning, I wanted to lock her up again. Later on, I came to pity her quite a bit (probably the last thing she would have wanted). I was really glad that in ME3, it turns out you actually could help her, even though it doesn't seem that way in ME2
- Thane: I was disappointed that I couldn't save Nasana Dantius. Sure, she is a horrible person but I have no quarrel with her. If she is a criminal, lock her up, don't let some guy I don't know assassinate her. A weird moment where I felt disconnected with my Shepard
- Samara: Didn't like her. I can't stand fanatics, no matter their cause.
- Kasuni: Ok, so we have a master thief who wants to stay under the radar and keep her identity hidden, etc. So why the hell does she project her own unaltered face onto a two meter high advertisement screen and talks out of the speakers about highly sensitive topics loud enough, so that you can still hear her in the council chambers? Stupid! Don't get me wrong, It's a similar situation as it was with Wrex in ME1. I like the character but that intro ... no
- Legion: Mysterious, subtly dangerous but also sparking my curiosity. Very nice introduction
- Liara in LotSB: Yay! Finally get to go on a mission with Liara again!
- Kenson in Arrial: Reminded me of Chackwas ... until she went bad

ME3:
- James: Who is that guy? Ok, I read Conviction before ME3 but even though, that was a weird introduction (because there just was none). I really got to like James later on though
- Anderson: Well, we all knew it from the E3 stuff and the demo. Nice touch though.
- Ash/Kaidan: It was good to see them on the Normandy. They started annoying me a little on Mars though
- Liara again: What the hell? She was the last person I expected on Mars. Her appearence there is too tightly knit into the whole plot hokum about the prothean data and the crucible and I am not at all fond of that so her intro in ME3 is not exactly a highlight for me.
- Garrus again: Again, a nice one for Garrus. Seeing him finally moving up in the world was really cool. He earned it.
- EDI: Oh ... My ... God! While I was happy for Joker, I really begrudged BW the decision to give EDI a human form. I thought her development in ME2 was perfect. Her body was the Normandy. We had a living thinking ship. Now we have a robot.. Talk about downgrading a character. A shame.
- Javik: An interesting start to an interesting character. Can't say I liked his personality but he is a great addition to the crew
- Tali: I didn't expect her to become an Admiral. Thought it was a little over the top and unnecessary in terms of the plot. Still, it was a nice reunion.
- Aria in Omega: I never trusted Aria. I always find it weird if people I don't trust are my squadmates and I just give these gameplay orders to them, especially if someone is described as independent and capable as Aria was. It's a disconnect between gameplay and narrative.
- Nyreen: That was weird too but I immediatly liked Nyreen, although she does seem mighty shady at first.
- Wrex in Citadel: Awesome! That's the only word you can use if your Krogan buddy drops in (literally) and smashes a shuttle to pieces. Of course Citadel is silly but it's also awesome.

That's it, as I said, I was (and am) a bit sceptical how BW handled certain characters at some points but overall, they all grew on me in one way or another. A testiment to BW's character writing.
