As overrated as Luna is, you have to admit:
 * She has a rather dark backstory tied right into the show's lore. She's hasn't even physically appeared yet, and she's already an interesting character.
 * Then, when Nightmare Moon shows up, she proves the be a very effective villain, possibly the most effective in the entire show (She's better than Starlight at least.).
 * And after a thrilling climax which wasn't a cop-out by placating the enemy, there are other factors left over, like the overwhelming guilt, the out-of-date social norms, and her relationship with Celestia.

The first was handled terribly, the second never amounted to anything in the end, and the third has rarely been touched upon if at all, but on the season one opener alone, I'd say she's a good character.
