That's negative and I dislike it...
People are just jumping to conclusions for no real reason...

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.So uh, I found this analysis on the subreddit for Lapis and Peridot after the bomb, and I gotta say this is some interesting stuff to think about: https://www.reddit.com/r/stevenuniverse/comments/7cbt7t/an_analysis_of_lapis_peridots_relationship_and/
Hmm, these are actually fair complaints. Not about she holding back Peridot, that is stupid, but Lapis have been interacting with far too few people (I mean, Peridot had 3 episodes with Amethyst alone) and her development have been so understated and offscreen since she started living with Peridot, that I can't blame people too much for not noticing it.
Like, someone in this thread wondered why Lapis took the Barn, but for me it was obvious: she wanted the barn. She likes the tv show, the meep morphs and the plants. That is why she doesn't hesitate when Peridot say they can't leave that stuff behind. Her reaction wasn't "ugh, this isn't important but, fine, lets take it with us", it was more like "right, good point, lets take it with us". She cares about all this stuff just as much as Peridot, but she doesn't show it the same way. But because her reactions are far more understated, her lack of screen presence really hurts the audience perception. So I think these complaints are mostly valid, even if a bit misguided. And that Lapis running away now is a bit too soon. She maybe needed one extra episode showing how much she have grown to like her life with Peridot (Gem Harvest touched on that, but focused too much on that other guy).
Unless it was one sided on the part of Kevin?
Yeah, that is the great thing. He is still as shitty as ever, but his position in the plot vastly change how interesting he is. As an antagonist, he is far too shallow to be interesting. It worked the first time because it was short and to the point, but his second appearance was way overdrawn. So it is great they decided to just do something else instead.
Here's
a link to the listing on the website (they're a bit hard to find from the video front page).
They may also be available on-demand, but non consistently—Sling TV, for instant, still only has half of them.

Now admittedly I don't think all of the complaints about Lapis are misguided or wrong. Like I said, her not interacting with anyone outside of Steven and Peridot isn't entirely untrue, it's one of my biggest complaints so far about her. She's used probably the least of the main cast. Now where I draw the line is to say she's a bad character, which is why I mentioned she was probably the most divisive character on the show. Lapis isn't so much a bad character as one who, if this were a different show, would be pretty well liked but she has the misfortune of being in a show that's got a whole squad of incredible characters. As such it makes her lack of focus stand out a bit.
I don't doubt they'll remedy this, don't get me wrong, but I feel like while a lot of complaints about her are a bit too harsh (a lot of "Worst Gem" shit stands out), she's definitely not explored as much as other characters have been.
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?I was thinking of how Kevin told Steven to try to save face in front of Connie. I'm not sure if it's terrible advice, or OK advice that's just not applicable to Steven's situation.
Yes, it's dishonest, but groveling in front of your ex isn't a great idea either. It's really putting them on the spot in a way that can be kind of manipulative.
Oh, yeah, definitivelly. She is, at worse, an underused character. I think being compared to Peridot specifically really hurt her. Peridot is a side character that got a lot of love after joining the Earth team properly and since then have made consist appearances showcasing her personality and growth. Lapis, meanwhile, got 2 episodes after being on Earth for real, and then spend the rest of time out of focus.
She took the thing she was originally gonna leave without...
