why is it that all these weekly episodes feel like they have so much wasted potential?

The New Crystal Gems - we could have gotten a great episode about the 3 big side characters working together to battle corrupted gems, go on a dangerous quest, or have some form of character growth between them. Instead we didnt learn anything new, and all the characters seemed out of character.

Storm in the Room - Steven could have actually gotten answers as to what Rose was really like but in the end it was basically revealed that anything that happened was just his own thoughs being projected in front of him, and were back to where we started

Rocknaldo - We could have had some form of character development or redemption for what many fans consider the worst character on the show, instead it only seems like we moved backwards. Ronaldo is still spreading innacurate info about the gems, and it seems unlikely that he will have any more big interactions with the crystal gems.

Tiger Philanthropist - i guess the lesson here was that its more important to do things for yourself rather than for others, but in this context it seems out of place. he wants to impress the gems to make up for Rose not being around, so wouldnt this message have been better in "Storm in the Room" if he heard that from Rose? and with the amount of emotional depth we got between Steven and Amethyst at the end of Season 3, im surprised they didnt end the episode with them deciding to fuse into Smoky Quartz and pretend to be a new wrestler. i get that fans were really just hoping Smoky would appear, but it really was a huge missed opportunity.
