Philadelphia experiment 

A supposed military operation that occurred October of 1943 in the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. A highly classified experiment to cloak the U.S destroyer escort the USS Eldridge in an electromagnetic force-field. According to unconfirmed speculation, such as has surrounded the Roswell incident, reports emerged that the ship disappeared into a time-space anomaly and that those on board never could adjust psychologically afterward. The television show LOST has capitalized on the Philadelphia experiment, and incorporated the time-space anomaly concept with the mind's inability to deal with the fourth dimension.

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!
