One million dollars was once a fabulous fortune, but thanks to inflation could now buy you half of a crappy house in a place like Florida.
Dr. Evil thought a high ransom for the entire world was one million dollars. That still would've been low in his time, but illustrates what used to be a lot of money.
A specific panopticon built around James Randi’s famous One Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge (a prize for anyone who could demonstrate a paranormal ability under agreed scientific conditions). Even after the challenge officially ended, its logic persists as a disciplinary tool: believers are told “go claim the million dollars” as a rhetorical weapon, implying that if they cannot meet that impossible standard, their claims are worthless. The One Million Dollar Challenge Panopticon normalizes the demand for adversarial, public, and often humiliating “tests,” while ignoring that many phenomena are not replicable on demand or suited to lab conditions. Its gaze ensures that any discussion of the paranormal is immediately derailed by the million‑dollar taunt.
Example: “Every time someone mentioned telepathy in the forum, a chorus replied ‘where’s your million dollars?’—the One Million Dollar Challenge Panopticon, using a defunct prize to shut down conversation.”

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!
