Why not give it a chance to actually be released before condemning it to being bland? This. I don't understand why people think there are filler episodes in the show when the Crewniverse and everyone else have been saying there are no such things as filler episodes. If someone is able to link to that comment, I'd be grateful.

People need to stop assuming that an episode is going to be filler which is not what the Crewniverse has confirmed about other episodes not being filler. Nobody knows what is going to happen in this episode, but let me assure you that every episode is full of surprises. Like today for instance, we learned today that there will be a new character piloting a plane, but we don't know if that is the new stranger as the synopsis revealed or if that is even a new Gem or human. For all we know the synopsis could be talking about the pumpkin dog or someone else. I don't know how Steven's arrival at the barn will "bring a new stranger in his life" if that is really a human, but I have great faith in Rebecca Sugar's storytelling in how she will make this happen.

With how people were talking about they thought how Gem Harvest would be a Thanksgiving episode, we should be grateful for this episode. Sure, it happens a week before Thanksgiving, but then we get to spend time with our family and friends. That is something I am thankful for, so happy Thanksgiving everyone! Well, I'm sorry you feel that way. while I know what Rebecca Sugar and the Crewniverse say about filler, that isn't ACTUALLY word of god. it's opinion. I think people should be allowed to feel however they want to feel. And based on what evidence we have right now, I completely understand why people are expecting very little. If you don't think people should be judging an episode prematurely, then that's fine, but you probably shouldn't expect everybody to get excited for this episode. not every episode is meaningful to everyone. not every episode is even GOOD to everyone. while I'm glad you want to see the positives, It's by no means unreasonable to judge an episode based on what we're seeing. We have about 5 minutes of the 22 minute episode- a pretty sizable chunk that people can form an opinion about, and that some people are disappointed with. You're right. What I said was a little over the top and a bit too enthusiastic, lol. I am also wrong about every episode having a surprise. Shirt Club, Political Power, and Serious Steven didn't have surprises, but they did contribute a little to the worldbuilding and character development.
