It sounds like using the word "chola" would be more of an issue than the outfit.

I admit I'm not an expert on that despite coming from a Latino background.

You may be wondering exactly when on Friday the episodes will be put up on the website, as the press release did not specify a time of day.

My expectation is very early in the morning or even midnight of the previous day.

I say this because there was a similar situation with The Amazing World of Gumball a few months ago: there were four premiers a week for five weeks in a row, and every week they were available on the website and video-on-demand by the previous Friday. I'm not sure exactly what time they went up on the website, but I know it was always before 8 AM EST.

VOD post time seems highly variable by region and provider: one guy posted about them just a few hours after midnight EST, but I don't remember them being there until after the TV broadcast.

All I know is, I'm going to be reloading Sling heavily in the next few days. Also, remembering that Sling is horrible at archiving, so searching anything SU-related. I thought for a bit that CN wasn't uploading anything after "Rocknaldo," when it turns out that they uploaded them in the Season 3 folder (and in the middle of that, to boot) instead.

I'm not sure if Cartoon Network or Sling is responsible for that, but I just Face Palm over it at this point.

To give a little more detail, Sling TV is a service that allows you to not only watch certain channels via your Internet connection (I use mine with Roku in my living room), but it also allows you to watch older episodes that have been curated by the networks. Some networks curate such that you can pretty much binge the series right then and there, and some are a bit more selective. Cartoon Network tends to be the latter - to bring it back on-topic, with my subscription, I can watch all of season 4 (thus far) of SU, a dozen or so episodes of season 3, and 3 from season 1 (and nothing from season 2).

I just dare anyone to guess what Cartoon Network show has pretty much everything available to watch. If you can't guess it, you don't know what's currently Adored by the Network.

One advantage that I have is that they frequently put episodes up in the archives before the official airdate. Remember the "Out of This World" Stevenbomb leak? The whole thing stayed up on Sling the whole time, so I got to rewatch and dissect those episodes in glorious hi-def to my heart's desire before the official airing.

Of course, the flip side is when they screw up their curation, which meant that I had no idea "Room For Ruby" was available there because someone put it in the wrong season folder. I only found it because my kid wanted to watch an older episode.

On topic then

What can we discus that's not a spoiler?

(Intense thinking follows)

So there was talk earlier about Steven's ability to possess people while they were asleep and of course the ability enter their dreams,these psychic powers aren't normally used by the good guys because entering someone's else mind and controlling it is absolutely unquestionably wrong,but Steven's one of the good guys,and since his powers were Roses's I'm guessing she had a similar ability

So why would the Rose gems have abilities like this? I feel like it's linked to their possible role of caring for the zoomens,perhaps being able see inside their minds was part of their efforts to understand how their specimens thought and felt,and at times even control them.

Weaponizing planet life I think is utilising the same psychic power,abit with a different purpose in mind...

It could also be that Steven has some new abilities because he's part human.

If Rose had the dream power, she didn't tell the others.

Gems don't usually sleep, so it would be hard for her discover that power if she had it.

It probably is just a new form of Rose's psychic/empathic powers that developed in Steven.

If Rose worked in the Zoo, there is no possible way she would've been as amazed at baby Sour Cream as she was.

If Rose worked in the Zoo, there is no possible way she would've been as amazed at baby Sour Cream as she was.
She said learning human adults and babies were the same species took a while, not that it happened recently. Her fascination with humans is not a thing that was going to fade anytime soon, and it may have been a long time since she'd had any contact with a child.

Now if you think she shouldn't have been so clueless about taking care of a baby if she worked at the Zoo, I brought exactly that up before. The consensus was that, yes, it is evidence against the theory, but it's not impossible to reconcile—mostly because the automated mechanism alone make the Zoo absurdly safe.

As much as I like and respect Pie Guy Rulz, I still kinda like this episode regardless.

I can stand Onion way more than I can stand Lars or Ronaldo. Especially Ronaldo. Seriously, fuck Ronaldo.

I've never been clear on the rules about sleeping for gems. I mean, Pearl did it and infamously accidentally projected her dreams out for Steven and Amethyst to watch (pizza tongue!), and there was that one episode where Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl all looked extremely sleep deprived, but I've also seen claims that gems don't need to at all. Just how much is it necessary? If it's completely unnecessary, why does Pearl do it (after all, she avoids eating, too)?

Those questions are where I'd start before wondering about Rose and dream powers. I mean, if sleep was really unnecessary, maybe Rose just never slept and thus never learned she had those powers. Things get a bit more complex if she did sleep (whether by necessity or desire) - was dream communication something Rose had, but never used? Was it something she did use, but she never told the others (plenty of precedent for that)? Or is it something truly unique to Steven that Rose couldn't do?
