The Bishop and Aidan was unfathomably hot and I'm pretty sure all that sexual subtext is at least partially on purpose by someone on the show, if not the actors themselves. It's good to see it's not going to be shy about the more cesty vampire connections

IMO, Fault and realizing you have the power to possibly prevent something bad from happening aren't the same thing, or at least they shouldn't be. If Sally fails to warn Bridget, or Bridget fails to listen, it's still Danny's fault for abusing both of them. There is an annoyingly prevalent notion that the burden of not getting raped or abused falls on women (putting male rape/abuse aside), and that's bullshit, but though it may be a fine line I think there's a difference between placing that burden on the victim and having her realize that should these situations arise she's not entirely powerless. We all want to feel like we have some control and ability to stop terrible things from happening to ourselves and the people we care about. I mean, that's the worst thing, right? When there's nothing you can do. There being something Sally, via her boys, can do doesn't change the fact of Danny's guilt. Sure Sally has a right to freak out and take time to process, but wanting to protect your friend - especially when Danny is being an ass
( ... )
I definitely believe Sally should protect her friend, but the problem is that Sally is a ghost. She could do her ghostly message thing again, only that seems to be more of a sensation of intent than an actual message with useful details. I suppose she could use her ability to move things to write a message to Bridget, but I don't know if Sally's powers have a mode for fine detailed work. Either way, it's easy to say she could do something herself, but also possible the message wouldn't come across to Bridget

Maybe that's partly why Sally bugs me a little - not Sally herself, but the idea of her character - that the one who has no power, happens to be the one female main character. Whereas the other two main chars have great power. It's a little too close to women = nice, but useless for my tastes.
That's the thing for her character to work on though, finding power in a powerless situation. Trying to communicate with Bridget is a good way to explore that. And Danny's got to be brought to justice. I assume they won't let this plot lie, so I hope they deal with it in a way where Sally can be proactive to some degree, instead of just a helpless victim.
First.... BISHOP/AIDAN HERE SO HOT I JUST fgsdsfdfsdfsdf. First there was the straddling, but I was actually waiting with bated breath...is the blood licking going to happen? WHUT! SLASHY DREAMS COME TURE. hehe.
This is one of those rare/not so rare cases where the remake outdoes the mother show. There's much more death to the Bishop/Aidan relationship, I think than there was to Herrick/Mitchell on the BBC version. (Herrick was pretty much the smiling devil through and through and with Bishop he does seem to be that much more attached to Aidan. IMO, the subtext is completely intentional. Helloooo! Supernatural writers. "Is it true what they say about Aidan and Bishop?"... But then there's the actors to. I believe SW and Marksha call it... man-love.
