IMPERSION 

1. An acting technique, in Immersive Storytelling, where the actor, while "in performance," must align AN external (sometimes conflicting) point-of-view and their own, predetermined multi-linear narrative, towards an Shared Immediate Objective using Improvisation

2. Without Deception, Communicating an AGREED TRUTH within and while , supporting a fully predetermined-immersive reality

a. Agreed truth: A character's accepted fact or their immediate response to a fact through a process of consistent veracity.

Much like Stanislavki's Method, where, the actor must relive the character's experience as their own, Impersion requires the actor to BLEND the script's written truths with their own unwritten embodiment of the character to create "agreed truths" that surround the written/scripted facts. Then, the ACTOR must improvise -- their agreed truths alongside and in specific time with the written facts in order to maintain authentic connection with the audience's point of view WHILE the audience's POV is changing.

What truly differs great Impersion from great Improvisation is that Impersion exists within a scripted narrative, reveals personal intent or information within scripted timing and is, most importantly, interdependent on the "AUDIENCE'S" POV while it changes"
"The written scene between Actors A and B was cool, but the Background Actor's impersion revealed more of the story that I was, personally, interested in."

"The new Grand Theft Auto's detailed impersion helped me balance the control I have of my character with the lack of control I have of the overall shared story."

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!
