User blog comment:Markra/the episode "Reading is fundemental" 2 more archangels wtf?/@comment-4807493-20120415070511

Yeah, just heard about this. I'm way confused because the show has insisted up to this point that there's only 4 Archangels; Michael, Lucifer, Gabriel and Raphael.

If you wanna fall back on religious texts and whatnot, there's The Book of Enoch, which says there's up to 7 Archangels. It's not considered Biblical canon by the majority of Jews/Christians, but could 'explain' the fallback onto more Archangels without God's presence to promote whatever angels are left up there after the Cas/Raph war. I don't see Mike or Luci getting out of the cage, so really, this is the only thing I can think of for them to fall back on.
