Gamechanger 

1. A term used by fans of a TV show/work of fiction to describe an attempt by the writers/creator(s) to twist the narrative on its head by introducing something so completely unexpected that it puts a completely new spin on things and forces the viewer to assess thier opinion or perception of where said fiction/show is ultimately headed.
The most effective gamechangers are those which cannot be predicted using the clues introduced to the narrative so far, and leave the audience completely and utterly confused.

A gamechanger can, in the minds of some fans stray extremely close to Jumping the Shark, however a gamechanger is often seen as a positive if it enhances the quality or intrigue in a work of fiction.

Words also commonly associated with a gamechanger when they are shown, are WTF and OMG and Holy Shit.

n. 1. (in romance) A person who - by personality, attitude and/or influence - is a true stand-out amongst the norm of dating and relationships. They are generally unaffected by what would be considered superficial charm (money, appearance, social status, etc.) and are more attracted to someone's deeper qualities, hence they would "change a player's game." Such persons are considered relationship and even marriage material.

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!
