How fast did you watch through the series?
I felt the same way, but I think it's largely in part that I watched through everything in a couple of weeks.
I had seen various episodes before, and knew about Fring, Saul, Michael and most of the main characters, but not Todd and his crew.
After connecting with all of the other characters, those guys really just felt like filler to come up with a story line for the last season.
But I think had I watched it 1 episode a week like the live viewers, that might have been different. Those guys would have been around longer in my real world mind, and they wouldn't have felt like such throwaways as they did to me.
One of the things about watching shows in the DVD/PVR/Download age is that you don't give yourself the real world time to mentally digest new characters.
