Emphasize means to refresh or focus on what you’re talking about. Like if you repeat a sentence more than one time you are emphasizing. In other words, if someone is writing a non-fiction story and they want to emphasize they could use a strong word or repeat there sentence. But if they are talking and they want to emphasize they could use their voice.

Surf Dracula Syndrome

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.

I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
