So, wait, did Zac go through every possible permutation?
And yes, Zootopia will surely win. Maybe it's time to retire the Best Animated Feature category, which has become the "Annual Disney-Pixar Award For Being Disney-Pixar". It's clearly held in contempt by Academy members who just ask their grandkids who to vote for. And with Best Picture now allowing more than 5 films, I'd rather see a once-in-a-decade great film like Inside Out contend for best picture (as Beauty and the Beast did), rather than lord over the kids' table at the Oscars banquet. |

It's probably because of production companies knowing about the 3 episode rule that I have a tendency to drop things either after the first or after the fourth episode. It's rare that I drop something after 3. I either know really quickly that something is not for me or I'm kind of on the fence and the quality of episode 4 either sells me other convinces me to drop.

I wouldn't say episode 4 of Yuri on Ice was "filler", quite the contrary. Of course it was "set up" for the competitions, but it's some of the biggest development in Yuuri and Victor's relationship (whether you consider it romantic or otherwise) of the series so far, with Yuuri opening up to Victor about his insecurities and awkwardness and then directly telling Victor that he doesn't need him to play a fake role for him. It's also a great episode for Yuuri himself as he grows confident enough to finally choose his own music and prepare his own program, something he'd never dared to do in his career. Given how character development seems to be the most important aspect of the show, I'd say that an episode that focuses entirely on that can't really be called filler. It's no surprise that the creator Kubo Mitsurou called it her favorite episode

Totally agree!! This was actually my favorite episode exactly for the reasons you mentioneed. The strong characterization and relationship building between Viktor and Yuuri was really needed before we get into the action or meat of the competitions. This episode gave us a ton of insight in yuuri's character and his motivation from now on. In no way did it feel like filler to me. That ending sequence about their inevitable aging was really powerful to me as well, one of the strongest scenes in the show. |
