Have you seen the preview for Supernatural's eighth season? Of course you have (if you haven't, watch it here). It apparently reveals the season-long arc that's only been teased until now: find a Word of God tablet, decode it using Kevin, and close the Gates of Hell (thus, banishing all demons) forever.
A pretty lofty goal for the season, right? And one that goes to the heart of Supernatural mythology, because they've been dealing with demons since the pilot episode. It also harkens back to the end of season 2, when the Devil's Gate was opened, or the apocalypse, which wanted to unleash Hell on earth. Overall, I think it's a good goal for the Winchesters to have.
But that doesn't mean I think: (a) they'll actually accomplish it, and (b) am I even sure I want them to accomplish it. Let's think about the various outcomes should they succeed or fail in this task.

Supernatural: Who (or What) Could Dean Meet in Purgatory?
Purgatory is my new Supernatural obsession. After posting an article yesterday about why Dean's situation in Purgatory will be vastly different from his trip to Hell, discussion inevitably came up as to who Dean could meet in Purgatory.
Since the season 7 finale, I've seen various suggestions on which characters could be re-introduced by putting them in Purgatory. Here's a few of the suggestions: deceased angels, past monsters or species of creatures that have been killed, and souls who refused to go with their Reapers, such as Bobby, John and Mary.
For me, only one of these options is viable, given what we know about Purgatory in the Supernatural context. Let me tell you why, and explain why Supernatural's version of Purgatory is different from ours.
