Robespierre coming down the mountain 

When you realize someone you had respected has lost their mind you would refer to them as "Robespierre coming down the mountain" in reference to Robespierre's Cult of the Supreme Being festival in which he appeared at the top of a 'paper mache' mountain constructed in the center of Paris in a toga and decended to give a speech. Many saw this as proof that he thought he was more than human and had lost touch with reality.
"Oh, here's Robespierre coming down the mountain!"

Maxamilien Robespierre 

Father of the French Revolution, daddy of the revolutionaries. Only wanted to make the gorgeous Republic of Virtue; it's the filthy counterrevolutionaries that ruined everything. Cut off heads & stole hearts. Died when his fake friends turned on him all because he revealed them to be the filthy counterrevolutionaries that they were. A hero, an icon and someone to look up to. RIP Robespierre, you are missed. We will carry on the Republic of Virtue in your honor. Down with the filthy counterrevolutionaries and long live the Republic!
Maxamilien Robespierre was a god among men and all those that had the honor of being beheaded under his orders should be grateful.

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!
