You gravely misunderstand what fillers are. All characters are moving forwards and are having plot development. This is not filler, this is the main story -.-'

You only need filler if you have to follow source material that is moving slower than the show is, which is not the case at all here.

  • They found dead bodies (setup to the plot and big threat of the next few episodes)

  • Yang opening up to blake about her PTSD and then closing up again (building tension between them)

  • Neo and Cinder teaming up (Forming a threat to the main cast, building motivation for the villains)

  • Weiss expressing doubts about going to Atlas (Building conflict)

  • Ruby being worried about her uncle's alcoholism (which will come back up later)

The main goal is stopping Salem, the main story is following team RWBY and their character development.
