If coming up with great plots was so easy that regular posters here could do it in the mere minutes it takes to write a post, then we would all be great authors known throughout the world - according to you. Still, I'm pretty sure there are quite a few people here who could have written plots for far more interesting fillers than we have seen, had they been paid and given enough time to.

So, who here would spend days to come up with a - for example 20-30 episodes - believable, interesting and deep filler arc just to prove other random forum members that it could be done? That's what the filler script writers are paid to do. Not us. Yes, it's bloody easy to criticize other people's work, but, you know, it's even easier to use the oh-so-cliched phrase "You don't like it? Do it better yourself!" At least intelligent criticizing takes effort, typing that phrase is just copying the dude who first said it back when the ancient Egyptians were in power.
