There were plenty of episodes in the series that could easily have been missed without affecting the overall storyline. Pretty much the entire 3rd and 4th seasons were completely useless to the series' main story-arc, and that was evident when the 5th season started after the producers got an end-of-series date in hand and were able to concentrate on the wrap-up. The beginning of the 5th season was almost like watching a totally different show, so many of the meandering 3rd and 4th season subplots and questions they raised were just immediately dropped and never revisited. At that point, my emotional connection to the show was severed and I was just watching out of curiosity to see what they had in mind for an ending, but I stopped really caring about the characters during this extended wrap-up.
