It might have given you more insight into the Wincest phenomenon, too, cause that dynamic came over really strongly in the early seasons when there were no later seasons to dilute it. When I was watching the show back then it went like this:
Bugs: Sam and Dean get mistaken for a gay couple. Me: Show's courting the gay dollar.
Something Wicked: Sam and Dean get mistaken for a gay couple. Me: This again : /
Playthings: Sam and Dean get mistaken for a gay couple. Me: Oh, I dunno, maybe it's not that cynical. Maybe it's just a way of covertly sneaking a gay romantic dynamic onto prime-time TV (which was never gonna happen overtly, not back then).
Playthings: Drunk scene. Me: Oh crap. Oh, no seriously, these two Have to get together! *starts writing wincest fanfiction*
Addendum, after googling wincest, comes across Maichan's Fumbling Toward Ecstasy video Me: *having heart attack* OMG Are they gonna get together?!! Would show go that far?!! Oh wait, it's video-shopped, of course. Calm down girl. *heart attack narrowly averted* Man that kiss was convincing, tho!
