Yeah, I'd say the angelic civil war is over. Michael and Lucifer are in the cage and Castiel wiped out all of Raphael's followers. I wonder who the Leviathans work for. In the last episode, they mentioned a boss that doesn't like "bad news". As for what their plans are, I guess they simply want to feed on humans discretely.

I think we have to assume god didn't give the angels as much power and that only the first couple of angels even knew about their existence. I feel we will be seeing more of Lucifer, Rafael (did he die? I forgot) etc.

I do hope so...

dont think Raphael is gonna make a re-appearance, but there's a possibility Michael, Lucifer might.

Heck God might bring back Gabriel (since he turned good guy at the very end :p)

Rafael looked pretty dead to me at the end of the season so I don't think he'll be back. Besides, unless the show totally skips out on most of the hierarchy of Heaven, then there are loads of more powerful beings up there besides just Angels and Arcangels which are, iirc, actually at the low end of the spectrum.

Leviathans might be more powerful than angels, but I doubt they can take on archangels and live. As far as heaven is concerned, methinks archangels are the highest end of the spectrum.

I'm happy that the new season has answered my questions as to "what" Eve was.

Judging from the black goo she leaked when she died, she was a Leviathan too. Who woulda thunk it?

That's what people would tend to think but you're forgetting about quite a few other heavinly beings up there. The show hasn't even touched on them because I figure few people even know or ever heard about them so they're sticking with what people know already.

Working off of the angelic hierarchy then the order from highest to lowest is...

Seraphim

Cherubim

Thrones

Dominions

Virtues

Powers

Principalities

Archangels

Angels.

The fact they probably only use Angels and Archangels in the show is because, iirc, those are the only two that can have direct contact with humans? I'd have to double check. The others are up in heaven making sure the universe keeps turning or w/e. :p

Ahh yeah... good recollection :)

I remember when Cass mentioned in S5 about cupids and other types of angels who "kept the wheels running", but even then he said they took their orders from Michael and other "executives". Add to that the fact that Anna said that the archangels are only angels who've seen God face-to-face... and the fact that archangels dont need to be "connected to heaven" to use all their powers. All this led me to believe they were highest 1337s of heaven.

But yeah, you're right about the show building its lore on what's popular with the people, so we probably wont be seeing all those other creatures.

Yeah, I think it would confuse a lot of people. After all, archangels are the most powerful beings in the current Supernatural universe. Actually, I think Death might be more powerful.

Anyway:

They're the first angels and also the only angels to have seen God. With Gabriel and Raphael dead, that leaves only Michael and Lucifer (both of whom are in the cage). It'll be interesting to see if God intervenes again like He did in previous episodes. It would also be interesting if Sam and Dean come across Joshua again. He's an angel (in heaven) that can speak to God.

Girl: How did you find me?

Sam: You dropped this. (Holding up scrap of paper*

Sam: Amy Pond, huh... cute name.

Heh, and earlier on there was a shout-out to My Bloody Valentine. Love this show sometimes, to be honest. :laugh:

The last episode was pretty amusing. :laugh:

Did anyone else feel as though Osiris was defeated a little too easily? He didn't even hear Sam sneak up behind him. I was hoping to see him get tossed around a bit to make it look like a struggle.

    • OpenAI's new GPT-5.5-Cyber tops Claude Mythos 5 in vulnerability benchmark by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI today announced a major expansion of Daybreak, a cybersecurity initiative designed to help defenders find, validate, and fix software vulnerabilities earlier in the development process. The availability of powerful AI models has definitely changed the cybersecurity landscape by making vulnerability discovery much faster. However, the bigger bottleneck for the industry is now patching those vulnerabilities. Impacted software teams need to validate the discovered issues, understand their impact, develop fixes, test them, and deploy patches. Back in March, OpenAI launched a preview of Codex Security, which uses agentic reasoning with automated validation to discover high-impact issues and actionable fixes specific to the codebase. Since then, it has scanned more than 30 million commits across over 30,000 codebases; more than 70,000 findings were marked as fixed by human reviewers, while over 500,000 findings were automatically determined to be fixed. Now, OpenAI is releasing an updated Codex Security plugin that can run deep scans, review recent code changes, generate security reports, trace attack paths, validate findings, and create codebase-specific patches for human review. It can also triage findings from existing scanners, advisories, bug bounty reports, and ticketing systems. OpenAI says the plugin can export results to vulnerability management systems and integrate with workflows using SARIF files, CodeQL queries, the Codex CLI, and the Codex app. Back in May, OpenAI announced the preview of GPT-5.5-Cyber, a new model built on top of the recently released GPT-5.5, designed for specialized cybersecurity work. Today, OpenAI launched the full version of GPT-5.5-Cyber through a limited release for verified defenders. On CyberGym, GPT-5.5-Cyber scored 85.6%, compared with 81.8% for GPT-5.5 and 83.8% for Claude Mythos 5. It also scored 39.5% on ExploitGym, compared with 25.95% for GPT-5.5, and 69.8% on SEC-bench Pro, compared with 63.1%. OpenAI also announced the new Daybreak Cyber Partner Program, which will allow security vendors and service providers to use GPT-5.5 with Trusted Access for Cyber in their products and services. Accenture, Akamai, Cisco, Cloudflare, CrowdStrike, IBM, Palo Alto Networks, Proofpoint, SentinelOne, Wiz, Zscaler, and others were listed as initial partners for this program. OpenAI is also launching Patch the Planet with Trail of Bits, HackerOne, Calif, researchers, and maintainers. More than 30 open-source projects have committed to participate, including cURL, Go, Python, Sigstore, and pyca/cryptography.
    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs by Sayan Sen Earlier today AMD released a major graphics driver update as it brings support for FSR 4.1 to Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs. The new update, version 26.6.2, also brings support for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and more. And while the driver technically supports Windows 10 version 21H2 and newer, the tech giant has confirmed that there is a major issue with the new driver on non-Windows 11 PCs as it fails to launch properly on such systems. The error message says, "The version of AMD Software that you have launched is not compatible with your currently installed AMD graphics driver." Therefore on the surface it looks like a compatibility problem. AMD has also confirmed that the device manager will display the yellow bang or yellow exclamation sign alongside your GPU under the Display adapters dropdown. Here is what the Radeon team's official advisory recommends to affected users: "Users Running Windows 10 and AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 May Encounter Yellow Bang in Device Manager Affecting AMD Radeon RX Series Graphics ... Our Engineers are currently investigating this issue and will provide a fix once it is available. Affected users may revert to AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.1 as a temporary workaround." As such you should revert back to the previous 26.6.1 driver which was released earlier this month. In case you were looking to play Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations you will probably have to wait a while if you want the driver to support those games officially. You can find the support article here on Microsoft's website.
