I always make sure to read your thoughts before I watch the episodes, because you have this way of colouring my perceptions of the show in a way that makes it much more interesting to watch. I like the idea of the parallels, although I freely admit I won't have time to rewatch Season 1 like I need to until I get this bloody paper out for peer review.
I don't know if Lisa = Jess for the Hook Man. Sam was wholly invested in Jess, right down to the soon-to-be ring on her finger. Lisa though... I don't know, I feel like she was just a substitute, or a warm body to ride metaphorical shotgun seat since Sam was otherwise occupied. Dean maybe accepting that he's not as moved-on from the Apocalypse, though? He more or less put a ring on that finger too, and he was just as invested in that life as Sam was in the picket fence with Jess.
OK, enough ramble. Thanks as always for the insta-thoughts!
