Fandom power!
Thank you fans of Supernatural for posting your comments. I thought nobody was reading this blog ;) I am going to write a short review of the finale soon.

Scary just got boring!
Oh my God! After publishing the spoiler from Ben Edlund about Lisa and Ben in the finale there are a lot of discussions on the message boards. Lisa skeptics can't see anything good coming from 6.21 episode.
Let me just say that Dean is being compared to a "spider killer hero" - nothing more.
This horrible character and horrible storyline destroyed Supernatural. I dread watching the finale because it can either repair what's been broken or ruin my interest in this show completely.
But to be honest, like other Lisa haters, I don't have high expectations when it comes to the resolution of Lisa/Ben storyline.

The Man Who Would Be King
Season 6, episode 20
Dean talking to Cas:
"next to Sam,you and Bobby are the closest things I have to family".
I'm pretty sure Lisa & Ben would have been mentioned.... if they were somewhat important to Dean. They weren't, hahahah

Jefferson Starships
Spoilers ahead.
I guess it's about time for a new entry... I recently didn't post anything new since there were only Lisa-free episodes. However I came to conclusion that I can't watch Supernatural like I used to do it before. Now, I see this show in a completely new light, through Lisa f*ing Braeden lens. "Thanks" to Lisa and her annoying brat I wanted to slap Dean in his dull face during Mommy Dearest. How many times am I going to be forced to watch experienced hunter who is so... soft and useless when he sees kids? Unable to think clearly?
I really, really wanted him to get hurt and I wanted Cas and the others to insult Dean... for not taking his own advise:
"You know who whines? -Babies"
Maybe the monster-kids were supposed to remind Dean and Sam of themselves but to me it was a message: "Dean likes kids because he loves Ben and is thinking about him". I hate that. I hate the fact that we're suppose to believe Dean cares about Ben. He does, in a way.. because he cares for all the people (God knows why).
But Ben in particular? Ben is an artificial child. Children around 9 or 10 years old don't behave like he did in TKAAR. They hardly ever listen to AC/DC, dress like rock stars and are intrested in girls (!?!). Children raised by singles mothers don't like their "new uncles", don't trust them and certainly don't get attached to them so easily. Apparently Ben is super-stupid kid who thought Dean was his new daddy/slave (and also that his mother goes to bed with men on the third date... hahahaha - writers, was this joke intentional?) and started whinning like a girl in M3TR.
You see? I can't watch Supernatural. The magic is gone, all I see now is a comedy. No, wait... "a parody". That is a perfect word. Because how can you call episodes that are just pure fan service? I should be glad that second half of S6 mercifully offered Lisa-free episodes but I'm not. I'm not a fan of meta/comedic/strange - I don't know how to call them - episodes. I don't find them funny at all (The French Mistake, Frontierland, Clap You Hnads When You Believe - 1st half) and they are fillers. Nothing more. I feel like I was served five good episodes out of 19 so far. Episodes with Lisa and Ben are by default horrible, the rest is devided into fanfiction and the good ones.
Yeah... so many episodes to watch! (said with irony if you didn't notice). Speaking of irony: I wonder whether a person who wrote the description of 6.21 knows what that is.
"DEAN’S WORST NIGHTMARE COMES TRUE – A demon kidnaps Ben (guest star Nicholas Elia) and Lisa(guest star Cindy Sampson) to get to Dean (Jensen Ackles). Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean are forced to join with an unlikely ally to free them. Sera Gamble directed the episode written by John Showalter (#621)."
After such note even people indifferent about this storyline started ranting. Some were unpleasently surpirised this story is not over yet, some of them haven't noticed the moment when a bitch and her brat had become more important than Sam. I find a little comfort in the fact the hate for Lisa on message boards is growing. But that can't totally compensate the loss of my favourite TV show.
I don't get what is so difficult in understanding WHY fans hate Lisa.
I can divide the anti-Lisa stuff into groups:
1) Her behaviour - she's worse than prostitues on this show. Why? I hate woman who are sluty but pretend to be someone better than they really are. She is not responsible person, she got pregnant with some random guy but even after that "incident" didn't change. Of course she lives in the suburbs but all we know about her is that she chats with her neighbours about her ex-lovers and supposedly is a yoga instuctor (yoga my ass ;) ). She can't maintain a normal relationship for the sake of her son.
When Dean visited her after 10 years from the moment they had sex (one night stand!!), she invited a stranger to live with her. Becaouse yes... Dean maybe saved her kid, but was just a starnger. You don't know a person just because you spent a night with him/her. How responsible is that? That's not normal. You don't invite e.g. a fireman, a policeman or whoever who rescued your kid to live with you! That was very awkward.
About two years after that, when Dean went to her (without speaking or thinkikg of her for the entire period of time - so another "WTF?" moment) she was willing to take him in. She was at home, as usual... waiting to invite a stranger.
What kind of mother does that? Desperate, alcoholic, abusing drugs...
2) Her character - there was never any indication that Dean Winchester could be intrested in a woman like this. She doesn't make you say "WOW" (jaw falls down) when you see her and hear her. She's the worst kind of woman IMO. I despise "housewives" who don't have ANY character. And this is Lisa: boring, bland, unsophisticated, simple like not very well educated person, woman. She doesn't have any connections to supernatural world - she's not an expert on anything, she's not a hunter and she's not intrested in all that stuff. What could Dean possibly talk with her about? Teeth whitening?
There is no connection between them on any level. It's not possible that ordinary wowan from the suburbs could be appealing to "the Dean Winchester".
3) Her storyline - which was about... boring life in the suburbia and a kind of instuction "how to make a hunter's life miserable". This terrible mother put her needs (mainly the need of having a man in her bed) first. She didn't care both for her child's wellbeing nor for Dean's. As long as he played house with her she didn't care. It was kinda insulting for Dean that he had to stay for a year with a woman with whom he couldn't really share his thoughts and fears and who didn't accept him. Lisa expected Dean to switch from one life to another swiftly. Which eventually brought this show the soap-opera zone.
4) She destroyed one of the main characters - yes, Dean was rewritten to fit to her. That's outrageous that he was out of character. He didn't act more mature and was so soft because of his deep feelings for Lisa and Ben. No, he was a wussy, whiny, wimp in an unhealthy relationship. The "old DW" wouldn't be like that when his brother was in Hell.
5) It was poor choice of actress - this is a topic for another discussion.
I hate every single thing about this character and storyline. It started with "WTF?" moment when Lisa first opened her door. Soon I discoverd that it was all this stupid cow could do: open the door.
The 6.21 is comming and though I know it is filmed and ready to be aired I feel like I must say something. Some of the anti-Lisa fans speculate Lisa might be a supernatural creature... which would explain all the stupid behaviour and the lack of feelings, chemistry and understanding. I'd like that. But I don't trust the writers. They don't seem to acknowledge what is wrong with Lisa, Ben and this whole mess - ergo... they didn't fix that.
My patience is almost gone. Now, I almost hate this show. If Lisa and Ben are not gone for good after finale, I'm done with this show.
BTW, rename it please! "Jefferson Starships" would be appropriate title. Because... Lisa and Ben are horrible and hard to kill.
