I think the five seasons we've seen so far each have a different theme.

Season One is about discovery; Steven discovers the abilities and powers of the Gems and himself (along with the viewers), while the Crystal Gems discover Homeworld's plans for Earth.

Season Two is about Peridot (her characterization, capture, and redemption).

Season Three is about Jasper (her efforts to defeat and shatter the Crystal Gems, culminating with the first mention of Pink Diamond).

Season Four is about coping and forgiveness, mostly by Steven.

Season Five is about change; nearly every major character was affected by some new development this season. And I think the "big change" (Steven's discovery about who his mother really is) will transform every character, human and Gem, in some way in the episodes to come.
