So the last episode of Steven Universe season 1 was aired recently (well ok on Wiki, it's the second epsiode of season 2 but whatever) and I wanted to comment on it especially with the recent episodes.
I admit when I first start watching it after seeing the pliot, I didn't liked it mainly Steven was annoying (which cannot be helped seeing how he was the main character and filling in the comic relief tropes) and it was boring that it was kind of like a monster of the weeks at times.
Anyway it was only when Lapis lazuli episodes aired and afterward that it seen to got better for me. What I didn't liked at first was the lack of pior knowledge or rather lore of the Gems but it pretty mich slowly creep up later on-
I suppose it was a good thing that I did watched it from the start as I did get a better understanding on the general theme toward Steven. To me the theme was somewhat protecting a child innocent (or growing up) or rather that Pearl, Garnet and Amethyst shield Steven from the truths about them and the reality and it came knocking on Steven hard now that there is a threat toward him. It kind of like Spider-man secret identity and if the enemy knew his real identity, his friend and family will get hurt beause they are his said friend and family.
Also another great things about the recent episode are the characters development toward the Gems given their lack of understanding toward humanity (like Amethyst childhood, Pearl was loyal toward Rose and Garnet abilities).
So anyway what do you guys think of season 1 so far as I know some of yous has been liking the recent episodes.

As I predicted, the Gem are invaders to mankind but Rose Quartz rebel her own kind to defend them with Pearl and Garnet and others with her. A great battle was ensure and while Rose succeed in destroying the gates leading to Earth but victory came with a price since only 4 of them were left.
