Yes. I agree. That is my point about the finale of Season 8--it could go so many ways, just like post-Swan Song. However, my gripe is that the writers may not take the more interesting directions.

Monsters tried to pitch in on the power vacuum left by Season 5, but it was not written well--Alpha and Eve were interesting but were killed off very soon, and the Leviathans left a pretty dull boring taste. Making season 9 a second chance for monsters will work only if it is really beautifully done; otherwise, it will be redundant (not to mention confusing because the stronger monster tiers like the phoenix, jefferson starships and Eve were already killed, save for dragons).

Pagans and fairies are a whole new fountain of freshness but I doubt that the writers will actually consider bringing them in more to the spotlight.

Restarting the apocalypse and going into the direction of 'The End (by year 2014, which is next year)' is stupid and the most redundant of all choices.

Chances are, they will still stick to angels vs. demons since the last two tablets were about them. I personally think it's boring, unless they start bringing in new concepts to keep the lore fresh.

The theory on the Tree of Knowledge/Life is only because I am actually just secretly hoping they give us something awesome and new next season. It's the 9th season and I don't think the show is going to survive to season 10 by just relying on angels and demons (especially the regular low-tier ones).
