Do like me, just check in on the people here complaining about the shit episodes, then start up again when you notice the huge exclamations of it being back to non filler episodes.

The manga has such an insanely massive head start there is no good reason to do this other than to milk it for money. It sure as hell isn't increasing the quality of the show. There is a little thing called storyline pacing which they generally massacred in the first filler batch and haven't cared enough to revisit considering the early shippuuden clone wars and painful episode stretching of the sasori arc.

Ah well.
