Mostly I just wind up wondering why there was a set up of Sam setting up Dean to make sure he had a normal life and then trying to bust it up all the time
I know. The way that scene played it was almost spiteful. Like Sam was jealous of what Dean had and so he was telling him that if he tried to keep it he'd just fuck it all up anyway. Not that there wasn't some truth in what Sam was saying, but it's still an uncomfortable fit with the whole "I wanted you to be happy so I pretended to be dead" scenario. What, was there an expiration date on Dean's happiness? Offer void after one year?
Lisa has got to be the most convenient girlfriend ever.
They had to get rid of her and so they did. I'm glad they didn't kill her off or have Dean just up and vanish on her to protect her or something. I'll agree that there are very few women in the world who would agree to a similar arrangement, but the closest real-life comparison I can make is to army wives. They can go months and months without seeing their husbands and they know that's part of the package. So I guess that's how Lisa looks at it -- Dean's going off to do his job. What I find way more unrealistic is the fact that they could move house so easily, especially these days, and now they're uprooted and she doesn't even have a job...is Dean going to be sending his pool-hustling take to her to keep her in yet another big, beautiful house?
But whatever! The Impala! The look on Dean's face! BLISS!
