I guess there was such a big hype leading up to them that the end result was disappointing. Actually, fillers are episodes that you could just skip and nothing would be missed. As I stated above:

...

Back to the Kindergarten, Peridot feels a little better now. We wouldn't get why she was feeling better.

... I think the main thing in Back to the Kindergarten is that Peridot is now living in Steven's bathroom again. Of course that was also implied in Raising the Barn, but it is also shown that Peridot is unhappy about it. At the end of the episode she has rebonded with Steven and Amethyst, so she is not as depressed. I think the main thing is that Peridot will now become much more active in the story line, instead of being off at the barn and practically forgotten about most of the time.

Also, all of the episodes seem (to me) to provide setup for future episodes. Maybe ex-Mayor Dewey gets a surprising new job? Maybe Sadie gets a surprising new job? Maybe Kevin has taken a step toward becoming a friend of Steven?

I like these episodes because they give me lots of interesting possibilities for writting fan fiction.
