it is a cameo of infinitude that many fail to comprehend with their increasingly miniscule sphere of thought in which other banal rungs of ideas and thoughts are seated before the graces of the power that is the vastness of reason and all that is good in the world (including spice and everything nice, but the stuff that makes up boys (which i do not choose to explicate in this space for its pure vulgarity in the face of "rather")may be included if one takes the bokonist view of "as it ought to have been")

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!
