(Anonymous) 2024-06-20 05:08 am (UTC)(link)"Filler", to me, implies that they aren't an integral part of the design and structure. Like, in an ongoing manga-to-anime adaptation, filler episodes are episodes that you shove into the story because the anime is too far ahead in the story and needs to let the manga build a lead, right?
So to me, MOTW episodes in a show like X-Files can't be called filler, because they're as much the point of the show as the myth-arc episodes. It's different (to an extent) with a show like Fringe, where the myth-arc IS the point of the show, and they have to loop in myth arc elements into the MOTW episodes to justify their existence. But X-Files has much less emphasis on the overarching story by comparison.
