Okay, this is hard to comment on this review without referring to Point Of No Return... I will try, though. :)
However, while I think that the situation is bleak at the moment, I find it nowhere near as depressing as the brothers’ estrangement in S4.
Yes, me too. As you said, last season there was a real betrayal - also, I find the brothers more reasonable in their fights this season. They try to voice out their thoughts instead of hiding them, they listen more to each other. They still don't quite understand each other's point of view (as it is obvious in Dark Side Of The Moon) but it's definitely more positive.
On first glance that seems a bit random, but I think Dean chooses her for what she represents – the idea of a family of his own and the pursuit of personal happiness – and not because he perceives her as the love of his life.
When I first watched it, I was a little uncomfortable with this scene, but through the many episode reactions I've read, I've finally come to understand its purpose, and what Lisa represents for Dean. Some people have complained that there wasn't a scene like that with Sam, but the point is that Dean can't talk with Sam right now - he would only try to stop him.

I really look forward to your thoughts on 5.18...
