I wonder if Lisa and Ben were planted for the post-apocalypse story arc.
This is better left in the realm of fanfic. I'm not sure it would be as charming played out on screen.
I got the sense Jensen looked for a way to deliver that line inoffensively. His little look to Cas when saying it seemed to suggest irony, but yeah, pretty much all the whore talk was major fail. Saying it more doesn't make it less offensive.

I agree with you completely, but after a Kripke interview, Dean's meet up with Lisa gave me pause.
I hope not. I go for the Occam's razor and figure it's the boys.
Yep. It rings more true to me than Lisa did. Ash did say it was rare, yet Dean found Sam pretty easily.
I do not want Ben to be Dean's. Off in fanfic world (in fanfics I will not read) he can live with her and raise the kid, but canon offspring? Ick, no. I also do not want Dean to believe Ben is his.
As good as Dean is with kids, I don't see Ben as his son. I prefer to believe that Sam is the only child he will ever raise.

Okay, that breaks me hard. HARD. Boys. Oh, boys.
I feel kinda lonely in my parsing of this episode.
I'm with you.

Until this part. I don't know what Dean believes, but he sure has been harping on deadbeat dads a lot. That seems like the reason for the visit to Lisa to me.

I do like this sentiment though.
I know. I'm sorry. It seems to fit the narrative of Dean. :-(
If Dean has believed Ben is his this whole time, he's been a royal shithead. I don't like that character note. If he hasn't, and learns Ben is actually his, it forces a choice on him, and one outcome of that is an apple pie ending I don't actually want for the series.
