Update: I thought filler episodes were a waste until the panel at Sakura Con in Seattle

I used to skip any episode that looked like filler, I would just check a list online and jump ahead. Then at a panel in Seattle two weeks ago, a director from an older studio said those slower episodes were where the staff got to breathe and try new things. I went back and watched the whole first arc of a long running show without skipping, and honestly the quiet parts hit harder than the big fights. Now I am wondering how many good moments I missed by treating those lists as gospel. Does anyone here watch straight through, or do you still skip?
