I heard someone handwave away Dean's angst by saying that his relationship with Lisa was the longest one he ever had, so of course he would be able to move on and all I could think was, 'Great, can you point me to the episodes that showed that relationship?'

The thing I'm interested in this argument is that, while I can understand that's what it's meant to represent, the fact they never explored or gave us anything about Lisa and her life outside of Dean or anything about them being together. We only got that Dean went there based on a promise, based on his abandonment issues, and it was all centered around a huge fat lie to himself and how completely unfair it was to her and Ben. And really, I'm thoroughly convinced that while he cares about them, he doesn't love them and there certainly shouldn't be any ties or obligations to them because there's no connection. Dean needs to get his priorities straightened, as does Lisa if they are even DARING to accept him back into her life (which would be the biggest mistake next to her "greatest year of my life" bullshit line).

Case in point: that's a weak argument to make when there hasn't been anything shown to suggest it. Having a horrendously weak-ass premiere and little character development or anything resembling that we should care about the Lisa arrangement shouldn't make us accept it as such.

In my opinion, there was nothing real about that relationship, if you could ever call it a relationship in the first place since I'm convinced it was more of Lisa letting Dean in just to care for her son, despite that he's not exactly role model material because of his emotional baggage and fucked up psychological issues. Surely Dean probably wanted stability, but again he admitted that it was all based around a lie, a falsehood. Something that isn't who he is. That is not our Dean Winchester.

....and I'm going all over the place with this. I just completely loathe the entire storyline of this, as I've mentioned before, and I can rant about this forever. Lisa should just go away and stay away.
