flanning 

Making plans that one does not intend to keep. It is flake planning. The purpose of flanning is to make it seem to the other person that you like them and want to spend time with them, when in reality you are hoping they cancel first so you don't have to see them.

When two people flan with each other, it becomes a game of chicken, each one waiting for the other to break and cancel first.
Scott bumped into Billy on the street after not seeing him for 3 years. They both enthusiastically agreed to have lunch and play racquetball in the near future, but I think they were both flanning.

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!
