Dean/Lisa/Ben turned out not to be the embarrassing soap opera that I thought it would be, but that's the best I can say about it and it's faint praise indeed. It certainly doesn't mean that I want to see more of that story. If they want to bring them back together at the end of the series that'll be fine with me but I don't need to know any more about Dean's family life. I don't mind other characters interacting with the brothers but this show has never functioned well for me as an ensemble so I like "other characters" to stay firmly in the background.
I've also given up on the brotherly "bond" but not on the brothers themselves, since the two main characters have always been what the show's about. Now it looks like one of them has at last completed the final leg of his journey to becoming an absolute, irredeemable son-of-a-bitch and I would LOVE to be intrigued by that, I know I'm SUPPOSED to be intrigued by that, but I can't be. I have no capacity to be intrigued by whatever's going on with Sam. Whitewash it, handwave it, sweep it under the rug and forget about it -- you know that's what will happen, so there's just no point in letting myself get caught up in "where Sera Gamble's going with this." She's not going anywhere.
