I'm betting the first third of the season will be fluff, then a bunch of plot and character development for the next third, and the final portion will be a mix of the two.

We hasn't had any filler, just no plot progression thing.

I don't care how you slice it, "Onion Gang" is filler.

Loves feel-good animation a whole lot.

I'd say the season's been fairly impressive so far. It's only been seven episodes,people. The ymmv page for the record really needs pruning, there's a lot of examples where it seems like someone's going off on their own tangents that don't represent the fandom as a whole.

Oh, I definitely love the season so far. Onion Gang is one of my favorite episodes, and Gem Harvest looks like it could be another one. I'm also looking forward to seeing how this season's theme is delivered.

The last one that seemed plot relevant (in a way) was "Mindful Education" (although I can see "Last One Out of Beach City" beginning a mini-arc with Pearl and S).

Anyway, glad to see we'll be getting a new episode soon! Think this'll be the start of a Halloween story arc or something? That'd be fun.

I wonder if we might have some plot relevant stuff here after all, though...

I would like to see some autumn. Last (in-universe) year, they kinda glossed over it, jumping from late October ("Horror Club") straight to the start of winter, to the end of December ("Winter Forecast", "Maximum Capacity").

I really do hope a major plot hook drops in the next few episodes. Plenty of episode have been good or even great this season, but I do wish we had some more specific overarching storyline threads to ruminate upon.

I don't care how you slice it, "Onion Gang" is filler.
Weren't you part of that long argument we had a few months ago over whether or not "filler" was a meaningful term in this context?

Think this'll be the start of a Halloween story arc or something?
Maybe Halloween-themed (like "Horror Club"), but the staff have stated they're not really doing typical holiday episodes and the show's setting doesn't have the same holidays as ours—that's why Steven talks about carving a Jack-o-Lantern like it's some obscure practice he only heard his dad talk about.

It probably is just going to be Fall in general, though.

The "Gem Harvest" clip was taken off the Cartoon Network Youtube account. This, along with it not airing in the next two weeks, suggest it was posted by accident, likely based on an older schedule which had the premier next week.

Well, going by the content, I'm pretty sure it will air this month at least...

"Earthlings" isn't something you really recover from. You're gonna carry those feels.

Earthlings fucked me up more than any other episode in the series. Hopefully one day we'll get some nice Jasper fluff to balance it out.

And my guess is that Gem Harvest will air next month.

Oh, hell no.

As much as people complain that no plot happened before "Mirror Gem/Ocean Gem", like half the episodes introduced concepts that would have been cumbersome to explain if held off until all at once. We now enough now that the threat remaining at bay until the season ends would just feel like hitting the Cosmic Deadline.

I'd say you could hold off any direct confrontation until the season's end if the Crystal Gems knew what was coming in advance, but that would be rehashing the plot of season 1b. Since the Crystal Gems (minus Peridot) have mentally acclimated to the threat of Homeworld pretty well, that doesn't have much dramatic value in the meantime.

[up][up] I feel like this might be a bad idea but I will try asking anyways, How would you feel if a group of Jaspers was nice, kind and non-threating yet still butch...and our Jasper is lost forever? Would you be upset? Or you like the Jasper especies. Frankly I want OUR Jasper to be redeemed or even better show that she wasnt evil but just very driven by her mision.
