Reply to comment by JenovaProphet in Anyone miss kind of "growing up" with or experiencing characters for long periods? by Beau_bell

People like to crap on filler eps, but they never really bothered me that much. Some were better than others, but the good ones could be great. It allows a story to take its time, world build, explore other aspects of characters or the setting. You just don't want it to drag for too long.

They also added pacing that made the impactful events feel bigger. It gives time to decompress and process what happened and then build up to what came next.
