I think by law, people have treated "filler" as anything that doesn't connect strongly to or motivate the progression of the main story. Anything that seems to do its own thing, for better or for worse. Is it a misconstruation of the actual term and its actual meaning? ..........I have no idea, but that's how most people who speak of filler seem to view it.
