These episodes take like 8 months to make, and the network has to schedule hiatuses according to vacations and such things.

Well I don't think the production crew decides when hiatuses are. That's the Network.

It is. I mistakinly dind't post it into the Steven Universe channel.

Still a pink, rounded flower, even if thin, they can certainly shapeshift, especially when poofed. We literally only see her legs, if that, so you can't just say she likes like X because of Z

Rather than look at the evidence given, why go out of the way to jump on the popular theory bandwagon? Yes rose could have reformed herself to look the way she does... but why? and wheres this flower dealio coming from? its the same strange pattern style we get for all of them.
There is, so far, no on show evidence that Rose was Pink, even if you consider Pearl and how she is a 'special' one there is no proof of her being assigned to Rose, all we know is that Rose showed her free will and Pearl practically fell in love with her over it.
Meanwhile we additionally learn that quartz gems had one purpose and one purpose alone and that was to be a fighter. They are tall and have stocky or thick builds and so far every warrior gem we have seen has had this exact build, even amethyst, who is defective, still has this build to her. Rose quartz gems are obviously quartz crystals and on earth the rose quartz gem itself is actually very common to find. Considering Peridot said "well what are you some kind of quartz, you must have emerged here" means not only is Rose more than likely a physical rose quartz considering Peridot is a Kindergarten expert and also knows the hierarchy system about gems perfectly but this even makes the chance that Rose was BORN from earth and then saw it's beauty and defected a possibility.

We recently see that a Diamond usually has 2 quartz like bodyguards given that Blue has this. What if Pink was betrayed by her bodyguard?

Finally, surely someone as old as the diamonds, the Gem MATRIARCHS no less, go from planet to planet to use it's life force to drain and create more gems, get to earth and go "actually this place is beautiful, I mean I don't care about those other once life imbued planets but THIS one is worth saving... "

I used to enforce the theory about it myself but It's pretty easy to see when it clearly doesn't fit anymore.
