My previous posts focused only on angels, so here's my response to the main blog,

Hierarchy in Heaven and Hell will never be fully explained. They're too far gone and if there were opportunities to do so, we are way past them (i.e., proper introduction and description of the significance of white-eyed demons in-universe, naomi's rank and exactly how powerful she was and if there were more like her). The only possible explanation is next week episode, if the writers care to explore Cain's status, position and history relative to other high-tier demons.

Same goes for the origin of Eve, deities and fairies, unless they somehow (finally) decide to include tablets on those creatures to tie them all together with the current plot, or finally put an end to this tedious hunt and tug-of-war with the tablets and focus on those other creatures (like what Season 6 brilliantly did with Monsters). However, at the current status of the show, both are very unlikely. We will still get bits and pieces like the Wicked Witch and Vesta, but not major reveals on their origin. I gave up on the idea that the show would do so since the beginning of this season.

Bartholomew and Malachi's involvement is rather precarious. They are in an awkward position where they were written to be too important to appear in just one episode, but both were also too underwhelming and somewhat uninteresting to continue to appear in more episodes. Basically, damned if you do, damned if you don't. I get it that angels are in disarray, and rival camps support that idea, but when what we have left are two whats-his-names with 5 cents to their resume, it all kind of falls flat. I remember when revealing a new angel character meant something, and we would get enough development or, at the very least, history and background on their character--that was special. In our current state, we might as well try to remember the names of the new angel characters as we would remember the minor human characters in a stand-alone episode. What's the point when we have had several angels that had potential, only to die within 5 minutes just so Castiel could have a minute to showcase another pained look.

Back in season 5 it could have been 5 individuals. Right now it is most likely 5 species. Also consider the fact that some beings are argued as being outside of Creation.
