Here's the problem, buddy - EVERY show has filler episodes. I'll explain why in just a second, but let me just remind you that it's every single show so if you can't handle that go... umm... I don't know, nothing in life DOESN'T have filler.

Anyways, here's the reason that filler is needed: Imagine eating a burrito, but it;s just the tortilla. Now imagine that the tortilla is the plot. If you're eating, or rather, watching, the plot of a show, it's cool to see what happens, sure, but why is that? If you look deeper, it's because you want to see what happens to the characters you know and love! Imagine just reading the Harry Potter books without knowing Harry Potter's backstory or meeting any of the characters who die tragically. You need to see character development so that the characters can continue to grow as they go through the events of the main plot. It's kind of hard to describe in words, so I hope you understand what I mean.
