Byzantine Power 

Doing or saying anything that reminds a person of a time when Western civilisation wasn't full of relativist, wet, floppy, angst-ridden, anti-capitalist, Palestine-supporting, multiculturalist pro-EUrs and instead of a time when Christian morality, Roman law, Greek thought and monoculturalism created and maintained an Empire from 753BC to 1453AD.
Look at that Church! It's so Byzantine Power.

Did you like his speech? Yes, it was so Byzantine Power.

Look at THAT! I know... he's so not Byzantine power.

Byzantine 

The Byzantine Empire was the eastern half of the Roman Empire, which survived for a thousand years after the western half had crumbled into various feudal kingdoms and which finally fell to Ottoman Turkish onslaughts in 1453.
The city of Byzantium grew from an ancient Greek colony founded on the European side of the Bosporus.
In AD 330 the Roman emperor Constantine I, in an attempt to strengthen the empire, refounded Byzantium as Constantinople, the 'New Rome' and capital of the eastern half of the empire.
At his death in 395 Emperor Theodosius I divided the empire between his two sons, and it was never reunited.
Theodosius also made Christianity (Eastern Orthodox) the sole religion of the empire, and Constantinople assumed preeminence over other Christian centers in the East as Rome did in the West.
The fall of Rome to the Ostrogoths in 476 marked the end of the western half of the Roman Empire. The eastern half continued as the Byzantine Empire, with Constantinople as its capital. Constantine the Great wanted this city to be built from scratch as the center of the Christian world. The origional Christianity religion Eastern Orthodox church split into differnent factions, The great schism between Eastern and Western churches was mutually agreed to in 1054.

Byzantine 

1: Byzantium, the eternal. The unchanging. The centre of the world. Empire that was born of Rome, surpassing even that ancient glory. For over 2000 years the heirs of the Caesars ruled from their capital on the Bosphorus. There were dark days of terror and despair, many lands were lost to foes, but in the end the triumph was their's. An empire that was lost, had been regained. A flame long snuffed out, was rekindled. A glory once tarnished, had been reborn.
The Byzantine Empire was once known as the Later Roman Empire.

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!
