wikipediatrician 

A wikipediatrician is someone who thinks the decisions they make are the best for their child, without doing any substantial research on the given issue.

It combines the words Wikipedia and pediatrician, the pediatrician part mockingly implies an expertise in children.

The wikipedia part implies the scarce amount of actual research they did on the subjects they claim to know a lot about, also implying the reliability of the sources used (if any are used).

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!
