Iv'e come up with what I like to call my Good Apocalypse/Chaos unifying theory because I think they are connected. The NEED for a Good Apocalypse is precipitated by the coming Chaos.
This is the way I see it:
Under normal conditions the PTB guide humans with little messages in our subconscious i.e they act as our conscience. Now normally we can chose to ignore our conscience and do whatever the hell we like and this is were their influence stops. However after the power boost they gained since the balance of good and evil has been umm unbalanced they can make these suggestions more powerful so that we cannot ignore them.
Now instead of a little voice in our heads we have got a cacophony of loud insistent chaotic thoughts popping into our heads all the time. This would get rather annoying, I assume. Suddenly we've got a whole planet of schizophrenics. I think at the same time the PTB should be the ones to open humans eyes to Demons. They need humans to know about demons in order for them to plant the seed of hate in our minds. This continuous invasion of our minds starts causing irrational behaviour and unprecedented violence by humans towards demons. ( I've incorporated the idea that humans and demons are becoming more like each other.) Humans don't understand the whole ensouled – soulless thing; to them a demon is a demon, so violence is aimed at both classes.
Ensouled demons can “feel” that there is more good in the world and cannot understand why humans are suddenly so against them, especially since they have never done anything bad towards them. This leads to growing hatred towards humans by ensouled demons – a class of demon that had previously posed no threat to them.
This climate that the PTB have created is perfect for the human/demon war to begin and the balance to return. This war has in actual fact been going on since the dawn of time but it has always taken place in the shadows. By revealing demons to humans as a whole, and planting the seeds of hate in their minds, the PTB bring the war into the foreground and make its scale much bigger. They bring it to a point where there is less of a chance that one person could unbalance the scales again like Angel did by taking out TSOTBT.
The gang realises what's going on and realises that the only way to stop the violence is to cut off the PTB, and their influence, from our plane of existence.
If you think of our experience with the PTB so far it would seem that when things are in their normal state their influence is limited to the advice/visions given to their middleman THE LINK. I think it should work both ways – Our link to them is their link to us. So I think the way to cut them off would be to get rid of the Links/s ( Is there more than one? ). I think that towards the end Grace should somehow convince Tobit that this is what must be done. He should turn away from the powers and give his life to stop the war and the return of balance. ( Balance being bad ).
With the PTB influence gone humans will come to realise that not all demons pose a threat and that “good” is a way of being and not what you are. The violence to all things demon will subside. All that will be left is the battle between good and evil that have been going on since time immemorial, except that good is now winning and there is an end in sight. This being the ever illusive Good Apocalypse.
The PTB aren't really evil as such, they mean well, its just that in trying to protect the overall balance so aggressively they are actually destroying peoples/demons person balance. I think Grace should go home in the end to explain to them that we don't need someone to tell us what to do anymore, that to grow as a society we need to work things out for ourselves.
If you think this is all tripe please feel free to say so and if thats not enough Iv'e put on my padding, so please don't hesitate to trash me.
