@Bunai that's a fair point// but at the end of the day the more interesting storylines are those that invovle the gems. And I don't really *mind* the beach city episodes, but I really wish there were less of them.

Or at the very least, that they had been more concentrated into the first couple of seasons, instead of 4 and 5, where they're trying to reveal more about the diamonds and head towards the climactic confrontation with homeworld and the crystal gems, u kno?

It's like, the time for fluff has (for the most part) passed, and the end of SU is definitely ready lol

They should've done it like they had with Avatar: The fluff/filler was mostly in the first two seasons, Water/Earth, and then the big story-driven plots were pushed within season 3.

That sort of template would've been ideal for SU, and not the beach city episodes with homeworld sanwiched in between.
