it wasn't an issue when series were viewed as a whole rather than two separate-but-alongside stories as the X-Files and Buffy engineered, one being an overarching plot storyline and the other being literally monster of the week. whether half-hour sitcoms or hourlong actions or dramas, shows were shows, not two shows in one. I feel like Buffy's MOTW were stronger in that there were still threads of the plot woven in, whether subtly or blatantly. X-Files went hard on it being basically two different shows, and as such has aged far worse. But a lot of current series runners for your fun 10 episode seasons every 3 years clearly grew up to emulate that, for some reason.

I only object to Kids These Days calling it "filler" because /shakes cane back in my day filler was the anime episode that wasn't in the manga gosh darn it.
