I actually found the episode quite intertaining. If you don't like it, then fine. No one's forcing you to do so. But generalizing that children won't be fond of the episode is a completely self-entitled statement. You don't like it when your least favorite character has a lot of screen time and because of that the episode is then labeled as bad? Well, ok. That is your opinion after all. And because you can't speak for the majority of the children watching (or anyone for that matter), who are you to label it as the "Worst StevenBomb Known to Humanity" besides for yourself alone?

The reason why everybody hates on this episode so much is because they put up their standards and expectations way too high. The crewniverse never promised anything meaningful happening in the episode. But people assume, because of the title, that something big is going to happen. I'm not saying it's a good episode, but it's not bad either. It's normal.

You could see it this way. A world renowned chef says that he'll bake you a chocolate cake for dessert. And while he's cooking it, you begin to stack up all your expectations. You imagine how ecstatic it must feel when you take a bite of the cake that a famous chef is preparing. And when you actually eat it. It turns out to be tasting like any good chocolate cake would taste, it tastes normal. But because it didn't meet your standards, you begin to view it as subpar when it was just perfectly normal.
