Hindsight is 20/20 

Phrase used to describe the fact that it is easy for one to be knowledgable about an event after it has happened.

IE: An individual has a realization about the event that should have been obvious all along, yet they didn't catch on because they were acting in the heat of the moment.

Also allows one to learn from their mistakes.

Dad: "Hindsight is 20/20, son, learn from your mistakes."

Intuitive Hindsight

Claiming to have known something was going to happen, when in actuality you were genuinly suprised. Often this is done simply to save face.
"Hey mom! I just went skydiving!"

*after being visibly suprised* "Oh. Somehow I knew you'd do something crazy like that."

"Nice try, mom. I can tell Intuitive Hindsight when I see it."

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!
