Drop the dagger

Killing a TV show's or movie's main villain in a rushed, unexpected way – without providing more context or consequences.

The term originates from Season 8 Episode 3 of Game of Thrones, where *spoiler alert* Arya Stark unexpectedly killed the show's main villain, the Night King by dropping a dagger and stabbing him. The motivations of the big bad guy were never fully explained.

Similar to jump the shark.
Game of Thrones dropped the dagger last night when the Night King was killed off.

pin-drop

Used as an adjective to compliment something. Pin-drop's origin can be traced back to the common saying "pin drop silence"
When the silence is at its maximum, you can hear a pin drop.
It was later adapted to mean the ultimate/best form of something. It was popularised by music teachers from the 80s to compliment an amazing performance that led to a gobsmacked audience at the end of it.
That music performance was pin-drop worthy
The food here is pin-drop
Yo! Those sneakers are pin-drop
That's a pin-drop sky
