Mewtexx, good to see more people who agree with me.

MrMelonNinja, if you or more people enjoy the human-focused episodes, then good for you. I'm not trying to change your opinion or say that you're wrong for liking them. But that doesn't mean that people who think like me won't voice our disappointment at these kind of episodes. While very good, this show is NOT PERFECT (no such show exists), and it's very sad to see blinded fans that claim that this show doesn't have room for improvement.

You say that there is no filler episodes. Really? I mean, are you really telling me that if I skipped The New Lars or Kiki Pizza's Delivery Service, I would miss on important details and elements that would make it unable for me to understand the show in the future in the same way if I skipped, say, Ocean Gem, Warp Tour or Jail Break?

Yes, it's world building, but compared to the bigger picture, is meaningless world building. Meaningful world building is Alone at Sea or Too Short To Ride, when we actually get meaningful information about important elements.

And yes, we do think such episodes are filler, because we don't remember the Beach City humans helping the Crystal Gems fighting against Jasper and Peridot, or helping them build the drill in order to stop the Cluster, or fighting Malachite.

You can say that the beach city humans are as important as the gems. Hell, Rebecca Sugar herself might say that as well (and maybe even said it, I don't know). But from an objetive, narrative point of view, that's simply not true. That's if Akira  Toriyama claimed that Oolong and Puar are just as important as Goku and Vegeta. Just because the creator said it doesn't make it true.
