User blog:Hunterinpurgatory/season 8 theory (angels, tablets,etc.)

This is my theory about season 8 and beyond, based on the last episode. First off, the producers stated they had planned up to the end of a possible(and likely) season 10. It seems like the tablet storyline could be the beginning of this plot. In the season 8 premiere, we were made to believe the importance of the tablet was in their directions on how to close the gates of hell forever. However, in " A Little Slice of Kevin", Kevin told Crowley that tablet was only one of many. My theory is that there are tablets dealing with all the major groups of supernatural beings. This is why I believe the angels are spying on the Winchester brothers because they are afraid there is a tablet explaining how to close the gates of heaven forever as well. Furthermore,  I suspect Benny befriended Dean as a way to keep track of the brothers' progress and prevent them from discovering a tablet on how to permanently close all openings to Purgatory forever and banish all monsters from the earth. Lastly, I believe the figure outside Amelia's house when Sam leaves was a pagan god spying on him. This pagan likely wants the brothers to succeed in closing the gates of hell, heaven, and Purgatory(and banishing their residents from the face of the earth) so that pagans can fill the power vacuum. This would allow the show to explore using Chaos and Nature as future villains/rulers of the pagans and to set up a possible season 10/ possible series finale battle between the Winchester brothers/their allies and these gods.

Just my theory. Let me know your thoughts/theories in the comments.
