I thought filler episodes were always skippable until my buddy Dave argued one through at a con in Baltimore

I used to skip any episode that didn't move the main plot forward, but Dave sat me down at Katsucon in Baltimore and walked me through how one beach episode in a slice of life show did more for the cast than three plot heavy ones. He pointed at a single quiet scene, nine minutes in, where two characters just share a drink and say almost nothing. We argued about it for an hour and now I actually watch them instead of hitting next, so how do you all decide which episodes are worth your time?
