What Doctor said is right in a way... the show was really good for a filler in my opinion, but come on... they gotta stop making Naruto look like a freakin idiot. If you look back to the last episodes that were not considered fillers, during the big battle and the episodes before that, Naruto was smarter, more agile and was making more sense. In these fillers they kind of backtracked his "retard" personality back to the first episodes. I'm sure that when the story starts back up again in spring... he'll suddenly be completely different again, a little more grown up and mature. The fillers are killing him. Although, I'll patiently wait till these fillers end as I believe Naruto to be on top. I've been watching it week after week since episode 102 and won't give up. Naruto has a great story which most anime lack... it still feels as if the story has just begun and not dried on a season to season basis.
