Yes, the Worf Syndrome is exactly it. And it is the province of lazy story telling. Chuck wasn't high-art tv, but it was fun, *funny*, and until it's last season kept everyone growing. Chuck's growth was obvious, he had to become a spy. Sarah and Casey had to grow to let people in. They went from getting it right most of the time, to getting it completely wrong. And it was like it didn't matter because it was ending.
As for SPN, they were pretty explicit in the early seasons that Winchesters were the end all/be all. And I know the show went on longer than they thought and they couldn't get JDM back and all that, but god show people, learn to look back on the canon that you've already established and work with in it. PLEASE.
