    Many of those filler episodes are where the character development for anyone beyond the primary bridge crew happened. And that’s sorely missing from modern Trek.

      I’ve gotta say, with the exception of DS9, “traditional” Trek was fairly allergic to character development. Growing and learning were rarely a priority, to put it mildly.
