Bunai82, mnaybe that's true, but then again episodes focused on the beach city humans not only are much less entertaining than episodes focused on gems, at least in my opinion, but they're a waste of time given how irrelevant they're to the overall plot.

Seeing these episodes it's almost like watching the Lord of the Rings and, in the middle of a tense, epic battle like Helm's Deep or Minas Tirith, the Books/Movies decided to cut to what a bunch of random hobbits are doing on the Shire. And they will use the justification that said hobbits are as much as part of the Middle Earth than the heroes, but the reasons stated above, it would be much less ENJOYABLE to see.

Shadowgeneration101, yes, true. Not all episodes have to be plot-heavy, but the fact that the gems have become so out of focus isn't good. You can have relaxed, low-stakes episodes starring the gems as well (like "Too Short To Ride"). Or even humans that actually matter, like Greg or Connie. While Greg has been getting quite a lot of focus recently (which is good), Connie's appearance in "Beach City Drift" was her first appearance in Season 3, and her first appearance since "Steven's Birthday". If they're going to make episodes focused on humans, why not Connie instead of Lars or Sour Cream?
