I found her return surprising. It was a little strange, too. I feel like the writers needed to get the Equalizer off  the playing board. She was the means to do that. It also lets the cast and crew, and us, see people who've been away from the show a long time.

Yes, God does represent the writers, also Metatron  did when he was playing God with the typewriter. Some of the things Chuck and Metatron have said is completely in line with numerous books on how to write scripts. Having dabbled with writing my own Supernatural story, I can say, what they had Chuck say is utterly true, on the writing. I experienced it.

As for meaning vs meaningless: they are exploring some theological stuff there. If God knows what will happen, is it meaningless and beyond our control? Predestination or is there free will? Is it how we CHOOSE that brings the meaning? Chuck told them they did have a choice, and they chose the correct path the whole way. There  were numerous places where the brothers could have made different choices. Presumably, if they had, then someone else would eventually act out God's plan. What I don't know is if the makers of the show are going to conclude with God being  Evil, or a Good character who was playing evil and it all ends for the best, even if some of it is bittersweet, or requires sacrifice.

Trying to figure it out, before they reveal it, keeps me on the edge guessing.
