Filler isn't an issue if it's foreshadowing something important. Compare the Great Divide to Sokka's Master, two filler episodes but one served a purpose later on.

Legend of Korra: Needs more filling!
Many people complain about the show Legend of Korra, some of these complaints are easily rebuked. "Korra is so insufferable, Aang was a better person!" Her dad was almost murdered by her uncle, and Aang froze himself in an ice block for a hundred freakin' years. Nobody is perfect. However the one complaint among all fans is that the show's pacing is a bit off, season 2 was better than season one of course but still it is still felt. This problem that will NEVER be resolved can be fixed by one glorious thing: Filler.
Yeah,remember how when Avatar last Airbender came out and people complained how much they HATED the filler episodes? Don't you just want to STRANGLE THEM NOW?! While I still feel Korra to be a great series in its own right, Avatar last airbender wins due to it having much more stand alone episodes. With Avatar the last airbender there were a PLETHORA of episodes you could watch not in sequence, "The ember island players", "The great divide", "Sokka's master", and the famous anthology "Tales of Ba sing Se". Last Airbender was given the time to BREATHE once in a while, focus more on the characters rather than the over arching plot. Legend of Korra on the other hand is pretty much one reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally long episode, which while still good somehow feels rushed.
You may have noticed how I said there was nothing they could do about this? Well, thats becaue the episodes have all ready been ordered and next season is only going to have 13 episodes(most of which will be 2 parters I assumbee). Hell, the first season was only supposed to be a one season spin-off its kind of amazing we even get 3 more seasons! While its plot may be rushed, I'll still enjoy it for as long as its on. Especially since 2-D animation is basically dying out, I'm enjoying this for all its worth!
