Mm. I do wonder if there's a contingent out there that thinks they would like SPN, except those damned boys cry all the time. So, really, they wouldn't have to worry about a two-year arc resolution in which wuv saves the day, but I can see a bravado that would prevent it.
I mean, Dean would never admit to liking the show. It is a chick flick moment, with guns and fist fights.
Which? Really? My favourite sorts of chick flicks.

He'd totally watch it in secret and fan boy himself though.

Oh, totally. Anyone who knows all the characters, including their nicknames, of Grey's Anatomy would be prime material for watching. :P
It's very compelling.
Hee! I can totally picture his awkward little shrug when saying this.
roque classique's take on family life at Lisa's house is amazing. I like Ben's pov much better as a window into Dean's grief.
"Ben curled his knees up to his stomach and put his head further into his pillow. When he had imagined things like this, he had thought the house would feel safer with someone like Dean in it... but now that Dean was here, it felt scarier, instead."
It's hurty and lovely.
A list of 5.22 codas, some already mentioned, plus the Dean is a woman meta.
As far as Dean-as-mom, I think the iconic moment of that for me has always been the scene where Sam comes off the bed and across the room the morning of the second Wednesday in Mystery Spot. It's a lost ten-year-old spotting his mom. I know the shippers had a field day with that scene, but I couldn't see it any other way than parent-child.

Man, Show better go there, even if a little. So maybe Dean and Lisa work things out (don't want them to) and find some peace. But it better not be apple pie day #2 (assuming the final shot is day #1, and that was definitely not happy).
There have been so many codas that I've been reasonably sparing about clicking on them. But I haven't seen that many that deal with after Dean discovers Sam, or with what might happen with future Castiel, or an eventual reunion with Bobby. I will have to look at that list of codas later.
Perhaps pathetically, I am clinging to the fact that Chuck never said it would be a long time before Dean and Cas saw each other again, but I fully realise that means nothing and I'm just making shit up.

It's definitely more complicated than a lost brother, and I never come down on the shipping side. I am still somewhat disappointed that we've never heard from Sam that Dean was his nurturer, but we've heard it from Dean to his (conscious) face, so that helps me somewhat. That moment definitely had "You're back! I'm safe!" overtones to it.

All of sudden I want to put together a wishlist for S6. My dream punch list. I'm okay if they don't follow it, but it would be fun to put together.
With respect to the D/C shippers, I want to see the Sam stuff resolved, before I worry about Castiel or Bobby. I like Misha and Cas as much as the next person, but in character, Bobby's got his legs back, literally and figuratively, and Castiel has a new mission in heaven.
It's Winchesters I'm focused on, and want sorted out first, including Adam, please. Then the rest of TFW.

This. But I don't know how I want it sorted. It's easier to talk about the periphery where I have less invested. I have no idea how that should be resolved and I'm willing to let show lead me some where unexpected.
My punch list would be small moments involving other characters and I won't be devastated if they don't happen.
