It's funny, cause that was the first thing I thought of when I saw him. It's Bishop!

The love story was a bit shallow. The two actors were certainly able to build the relationship, but the writers either didn't write, or they cut out, any decent relationship building scenes.
On the 'see what you want to see'... I'd say sometimes you see what you don't want to see as well (at least I, and people I know do). I'd say you see what you know, what you're aware of.
I've never ever seen a
regular blood transfusion
cure vampirism. I've seen regular blood extend life of one bitten, or prevent vampirism before it's gone too far (As in 'The Horror of Dracula'). In The Last Man on Earth (1964), Vincent Price's blood had unique anti-bodies (or whatever), he was the only on the Earth, that could cure the vampirism. Whereas Caleb and Mae were just cured with the father's blood, which isn't supposed to be special in any way. I don't know, call me crazy, but I see symbolism there. I'd assume it's intentional, but since I don't see the writers have ever commented on it, who knows if it intentional or unintentional.
