You can tell the strength of a series by how "filler" episodes are utilized. Most producers use fillers as throwaways to pad the 24-26 episode demand. These tend to be weak outings that present nothing that adds to or takes away from the overall progression. In fact, the audience can skip these episodes with zero impact.

However, on occasion, you'll come across a series that leverages fillers for the purposes of the story line, infusing what could be a weak episode with enough care and meaning, that if the audience skips it, they will miss something critical to understanding subsequent episodes.

One can argue that S1 contained two fillers: SOTP and TD&TD. Yet, both were strong offerings that subtly pushed the arc forward while infusing emotion toward all of the main characters, even though most of them were off screen. It's difficult to achieve that level of story telling, especially in a first season, let alone one doused with all the hyper-expectations that inherently bind a reboot.

All that is to say that S1 was nothing short of a winner. I hope we can enjoy the same and even higher level of storytelling and quality in the upcoming season.
