Now, I know what you're going to say: They never SAID it'd be a new Gem. But the thing is, the episode is called Gem Harvest. you would think this new stranger would have something to do with Gems, but no. it's a human. humans NEVER have any connections with Gems- Unless this was another guy Rose was involved with.

we never got any foreshadowing with this guy- even Bismuth had foreshadowing to her arrival, and while yes, Lapis, Peridot, and Jasper didn't really get any indication of their existence before their debut, that was season 1. we're in season FOUR now, so if they're going to bring in any major players, I expect some indication of their existence beforehand, and unless this is Greg's uncle or something, we sure haven't gotten any. and if he turns out to be important, well then we just have a deus-ex machina on our hands, and nobody wants that.

And another thing- WHY is this guy worthy of a half-hour special? This isn't, like, Ford or something- this is just some random, never alluded to human pilot (Who sure isn't Nephrite) with no apparent Gem connections. Why does HE need a special, but Gem Drill wasn't worthy of the extra 11 minutes? I think its a little early to make assumptions. We know nothing about this person; he/she might turn out to be extremely important.
