Supernatural Speculation Post 7.09
I'm thinking.... well, it's a hunch, but I'm thinking the Leviathans aren't just going to settle for chowing down on pacified humans or simply rampaging over Earth. I'm getting a 'staging ground' feeling from all this.
Really, they've pretty much got Earth right now if they keep on they way they have, taking over strategic humans and pacifying (and at the sae time arming, which is weird) the rest, almost entirely unopposed. If they haven't infiltrated other continents political systems and social power structures by now, they're fools. In this week's episode they made a point of including someone asking Dick if he was running for office. He doesn't need to. He just needs to get close enough to whoever does win to snag some loose hair and he can set up one of the Leviathan-flunkies as a figurehead and be puppet-master. Same goes for everyone he's already met. That photo montage of notable Photoshopping? Any one of those people could now be taken over by a Leviathan.
What occurs to me is the Leviathans got a lot of info on the Winchesters from being in Castiel... what other info did they get from him on other topics? (Maybe they've still got him alive and are getting every shred of information out of him they can. Maybe they're keeping him alive to use as a Trojan Horse.)
I think it was mentioned earlier that Purgatory was started up to lock the Leviathans away. They've got to have a pretty big grudge against Heaven for that. sssshup gave a run-down of the contents of the maps and diagrams Bobby was looking at in a comment on the reaction post. The maps showing a lot of major energy centers, oil, gas, nuclear, etc. What I'm thinking is maybe they're getting control of the sources of energy to open a big gate into Heaven to take it over or ravage it while it's politically destabilised. Maybe Bobby looked shocked because he recognised a pattern in the maps amounting to a continent-wide sigil of some kind. Maybe a gate that would rip open the planet. (Or not, I doubt planet-cracking is in the show's budget and this isn't Doctor Who.)
Still, if Earth is the Leviathans' only goal here, they've pretty much got it right now, which is why I'm thinking there's a larger goal of some kind.
Anyway, a few random thoughts, likely wrong. Posted for later pointing and laughing purposes.
