I think that JWH is wrong and Beth and Mick *will* consummate their
relationship -- and sooner rather than later. The show already
skipped the obvious "when will Lois find out that Clark is really
Supervampire" trope entirely by the third episode.
Similarly, the will theywon't they thing is entirely played out. We
know they will, they know they will. So with that issue *and* the
fate of the show being on the bubble, I'm kinda expecting them to pull
the trigger on Mick and Beth sleeping together *and* Mick turning
Beth. If they do, then I figure that they might otherwise have held
off until the end of the second season, but I think that they really
are headed toward skipping ahead to the post-coital/post-honeymoon
issues, conflicts and metaphors, which would really take it into very
different territory than most, if not all, other vampire series have
gone.
OTOH, I don't expect the show to go totally post-modern, either. No
Moonlight(ing) for this show. Other than perhaps the occasional
comedic episode done to break up the pacing, and even then, the fourth
wall would likely be Beth's cameraman at Buzzwire. (Jeez, I wish
they'd make Kevin Weisman a regular!)

It never works. I spend the day obsessing over why it didn't work
and what I could've done differently. I'm analyzing all my shortcomings
when all I really need to be doing is vowing to never, ever make a plan
ever again, which I'm doing now, having once again been the innocent
victim of my own stupid plans. God, I need some coffee.
