What I get out of the show is not so much "OMG! Dean (maybe) has a kid!" but rather that Dean would be a good (if somewhat unconventional) parent. Edit: I don't think this means that Dean necessarily wants to be a parent, but the way he interacts with kids is nonetheless awesome.
I really, really hope that we get some flashbacks or mentions of how Dean had a semi-parental role with Sam.
bittersweet regret
It was yummy. I can't read the TWOP comments on this show. I have pity. I have love and lust, and also wierdly, want to mother it. Snarking goes down better when I'm not so emotionally attached.

So much this. TWoP annoys me anyway. I'm tired of snarking as a cover for just being cranky and mean.
There are plenty of recappers who are funny along with being cranky and mean, though. And I can't fault the crankiness of people who had to watch Charmed as part of their job...

My brain just shut down completely, and has ceased to function. I can't remember -- how much older is Dean than Sam? Sam is what, 22 or 23? (Most days I know this stuff automatically, I swear. Don't make me turn in my membership card.)
Dean is four years older. If the timeline is roughly concurrent to real life, Dean is 28 and Sam is 25.

Probably. I just ... I can only get into gentle snark when I know someone loves the show like I do. Sort of like *I* can say my husband is lazy about leaving clothes on the floor, but you can't.
Not that, you know, you would say that. Um.

If they would just drink the kool-aid, it all would be better.
What's interesting to me is that a four year age difference would have been a big deal when, say, Sam was five and Dean was eight or nine. For a lot of their childhood, Dean would have very much been the BIG brother, and not just the slightly older brother.
