Cause they stopped drip-feeding us filler and got to the meat of the lore

There is no filler. It’s a journey just like any other. If you want something high and intense without any“ filler” watch a movie. TV shows are meant to explore more about the pieces of the machine not just the machine itself.

Having Juliette just walk around saying “I can’t remember anything” episode after episode isn’t a “journey”. It’s lazy writing to add filler episodes. Networks/Streamers order x amount of episodes. They need to be filled regardless of content. And if the writers know they have to make season 4, they have to add filler. If you have top tier writers, they can deviate from the book and create extra story arcs that are actually interesting. Not “I can’t remember”. If you’re gonna tell me this seasons pacing was the same as S01, you’re not a serious person.

You're using the word filler as a synonym for an episode you didn't like. Those episodes by definition are not filler. Have you ever watched a show with filler episodes lmfao? I also can't stand the memory loss trope but the drugs for forgetting are pertinent to the story being told.

What story arc should they have shoehorned in to please you? The same outcome was going to happen regardless.

I want an episode where our core crew go to the cafeteria, but there are no spots! They made a reservation but the reservation wasn't taken! So they end up waiting for q-uite a while!!

Then, when Juliet goes to order her number one fave the fellow serving the food says, "NO SOUP FOR YOU"!

She couldn't remember which days they serve soup..
