No. I've seen the trailer. I've seen variations of this plot on at least two of the Stargate series, Farscape, Warehouse 13, half a season of Eureka, and every damn holodeck episode of Star Trek the Next Generation, of which there were far, FAR too many. It does not get better with repetition.
Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Because books.
I don't watch any of those shows, so I'm going to watch anyway.

I have liked a couple of the eps Matt laments, Amy, so don't despair. Not that you were.
In particular, I liked the Warehouse13 one. And, heh, Community!

Matt, you forgot The X-Files, where Mulder entered the game, got in trouble, and Scully had to go in and save his ass.

Art Crawl!!!
but the trailer was misleading. Would love Charlie as a Woman if Letters.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Awwwwww.
Who else recited the first paragraph of The Hobbit as Charlie read?

Weren't there two? I can't remember if that's also the one with the orbital laser blowing up the rogue AI's trailer or not.
I guess djinn-induced dreams are at least a fresher take on how to get into the scenario.

Well, I loved it. Charlie's such a great character. Dean Winchester totally wins father of the year, too.
Wan!Sam was such a woobie, I just wanted to tuck him into bed. No, not that way. Not right now, anyway.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Weird that a preview for a Supernatural episode only told some of the story. That NEVER happens. And I do feel it would be doing a disservice to this one to say that's what it was about, as opposed to that being something that happened during it.
But, seriously, my notes (I won't write the IO9 recap today, anyway) are mostly orgasms. Like
- HOW MANY ORGASMS DEAN???
- MORE ORGASMS, CHARLIE?
- SAM ORGASMS
- LEFTOVER DEAN ORGASM
I'm not sure how I thought that would help me write a recap, but hey.
If Castiel is in the written canon, doesn't that mean that Chuck published later than we thought? That was my most coherent question, and it wasn't much--I spent the end thinking "you haven't licensed, PJ has the rights now, please don't ...In a hole in the ground..."
