Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Has Sanctuary started using Tammy Faye Baker's makeup artist, or did Amanda Tapping just really piss off someone in that department?

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Among the many sins of the Sanctuary writers is one that is probably minor, but that I happen to find irritating. The "I'm going to let the villain go because he (or she) is such a fun opponent." In spite of the fact that the vampires in the last ep were Tesla's creation, just a plan bearing fruit prematurely, Amanda decided to let Tesla go - even when he demonstrated new superpowers, and expressed a continued intention to take over the world. Apparently killers can be let go intending to kill again if Magnus finds them charming company. This was confirmed this episode when Magnus chose to bring Druitt back to life after she caught him killing again. (And yeah it turns out he's been suffering from demonic possession by energy entity the whole time and is really a noble soul at heart, but Magnus did not know that when she brought Druitt back to life.)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Truth be told, it isn't clear to me that she sees herself as the police. Her charge is to protect abnormals. She lets a lot of things slide in the face of that. She also doesn't behave that great herself given her charge. Do you recall the episode last season where there was an abnormal in a warehouse? She was ready to wipe people's memories or something (I cannot recall the details right now) in order to nab and protect the abnormal.
As far as last night's ep:
I think Druitt did the best he could under the circumstances, but Magnus could have had a plan B. The energy creature would have killed them all if Druitt had stayed dead. But why not take Druitt to a place where they can contain the energy creature? There has got to be someplace on earth capable of such a thing.
Re: writing, the thing that really bothered me is why make the empaths Zulu (or speak any other language that all the crew didn't know)? It isn't like they were saying anything specific enough that Magnus and friends would have been suddenly enlightened. The empaths should have been able to communicate with the Sanctuary crew. But: Magnus can create technology that can contain all kinds of abnormals, but she can't put google translate in fucking iphones for Will and others?

It's pretty much hemming and hawing, but this caught my eye...
Fancast asked CBS entertainment president Nina Tassler about the latest buzz, and whether ‘Moonlight 2.0′ could serve as a means to keep the very popular Alex O’Loughlin on the network’s payroll.
“I just want to say one thing – who was out there first with vampires?” she at first responded. “Who was out there first?”
Not you, dearie, not you. Not by a long shot.

I'd be happy to see Moonlight again - I think it could have been fun had there been more consistence with it.

I found the female leads in Moonlight unappealing, plus the whole "Mick just feels guilty" thing. If it's that easy, I'd have hoped he'd have run into more abstaining vampires in the show's brief run.
