Then, nearly half a year later, we get the normal schedule again. We get to see two leading ladies make up with their moms. Whoa! They caught Peridot!? Awe, how cute. We get to see Peri develop relationships with Steven, Amethyst and Pearl. OH! So THAT's what the Cluster is! Gee, I hope they can deal with it! This was on a normal schedule over the course of a month. Hiatus time!

Nearly another half year we get more new episodes. Guess what? It's Steven's Birthday, AKA stevenbomb 4. Awe, Ruby and Sapphire are so CUTE together. What is Steven doing? he'll hurt himself. Wait, is Peridot lightening up? Nope, but she's a Crystal Gem now! So that's what she's been doing with all the time they've had her (OMG did I see Opal?). Between WoS and "Nightmare", it was less than two months. between "Too Far" and SBW, it was less than three months. Together, those two hiatuses aren't even half a year.

I agree that weekly episodes are preferable to long stretches without new episodes, but it's not nearly as bad as you're implying.
