Ok, caught up. The bug filler arc was moderately entertaining, wins my award for best filler arc so far. Perhaps, dare I hope, they are getting better with fillers?

The first ep in this arc was decent, and I'm a fan of Rock Lee (how this happened I'm still not sure) so I'm looking forward to it. At least we should see him fight at some point, and I love how they show his fighting style. And perhaps drunken fist? I don't think it will be back in the story line, but they could fit it in a filler. I dunno, the guy's just so cheerful, and cute, like only a really ugly character with huge eyebrows can be cute... And Neji isn't too bad either, despite having no pupils. Well, I'll catch up with it again later.
