light it up red 

A slogan that supports autistic people to freely express themselves. This goes in contrast to "light it up blue" which only promotes the awareness of autism, even though almost everyone has at least heard of autism by now. "light it up red" however, promotes respect and acceptance towards autistic individuals and is a more meaningful way to promote the autistic community.
Red is the color of love, ambition, and respect. Blue is the color of disappointment and depression. Lets light it up red instead to let everyone know that the autistic community is capable of understanding and respect.

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!
