Did not care for this really. Was pretty disappointed. They had been hyping this up for awhile now and what we got felt incredibly simplistic. Now we didn’t get the classic pick up and twirl Jasmine scene which makes me think we will see more of them in Agrabah so that gives me so hope. Can someone clarify something for me: did Aladdin just become a “savior” when he touched the “diamond in the rough?” And did Jasmine know that was going to happen? If so, why didn’t she just take the diamond for herself and give herself the power?
Liked:
– I actually liked the two actors playing Jasmine and Aladdin. With Aladdin, I thought he was just goofy enough like the movie and really looked the part. The romance was fast but I guess I’m immune to that on this show.
– Emma and Henry scene.
– Snow and Emma scene.
– Regina finding out Emma thinks it could be her under the cloak. And then Regina dismissing it and still trying to help them in the moment.
– Jafar’s magic is very violent. Idk how it was on the spinoff show but we saw in the premiere this season he slammed that girl against the wall really hard. And then he shoved Jasmine into the wall really hard again in this episode. It was quite violent which I appreciate. I like when they distinguish everyone’s magic a little and not just by colors. Hades had a little taste for the theatrics and even bowed before poofing away. I like that Jafar is violent and uses his snake cane as his magic. Was there an origin story about how Jafar actually became Jafar and how he got his staff? Did they tackle that in Wonderland bc that is something I’d like to see.
– Aladdin and the apple. Oh and the “I can show you the world” line.
– I thought the CGI held up decently. It was cool to see the hour glass and magic carpet and the Abu statue.
– The bird on Jafar…..is that actually a real bird? If not, it actually looked pretty good.
– Sister bonding at the Three Bears Spa. Good god hilarious.Mixed:
– The cave looked ok I guess. It’s hard bc in the movie it was so massive and it looked so cool. Here, we had one room full of gold.
– Zelena turning evil again. Listen, I get she has walked this fence a lot and can be persuaded quite easily but she literally just saved everybody by killing the one she loved. She was supposedly good. I hate the flip floppiness just to serve the plot at hand.
Disliked:
– So the oracle actually was an oracle? Is the Oracle the red bird? The same bird on Jafar’s shoulder? Where did she come from? It made more sense that it was Jafar disguised as the oracle instead of just having a random girl show up in the woods.
– What are Jafar’s motivations? How did JAsmine get to the Land of Untold Stories? Why did Aladdin choose the way out of being a Savior? Did Jafar actually work under the Sultan like in the movie? What does he want? In the moview he wanted to marry Jasmine and become the ruler so when Aladdin came along, that was a wrench in his plan. What does he want now? All these new characters were thrown at us but the flashback felt so simplistic and I didn’t feel I truly understood why the characters were doing what they were doing.
– Open sesame. Really? And why didn’t the face on the cave talk? I mean, come on.
– Hook, what on Earth are you doing? THESE TWO NEED TO STOP LYING TO EACH OTHER. I get why he’d want to keep it but you have to tell Emma.
– No Mr. Gold/Rumple. Boo. He better have an arc this season that isn’t just him abusing Belle.
– This episode didn’t move the plot along at all. All we found out was that Aladdin was here hiding the whole time and there are shears that can take Emma away from being the Savior. There has to be more they have up their sleeve as to why they introduced Aladdin and Jasmine this year. It has to be more than just because Aladdin was a former Savior. They have to tie in to something more, and Jafar as well.

I have not read any of the comments about tonight’s episode 4, PARTY AT CASTLE VALAR.
DH remembered that actor who plays ANTHONY also use to play MAX HEADRON.
Lucy displaying the same shaking hand syndrome as EMMA … thinking it might be ONE of the symptom of PTSD; a symptom easily visualized and portrayed.
VON BYRON …. I want him to sit in the landing spots of his rockets…. he deserved it.
I loved how they sprinkled titles of JAMES BOND books and movies into the show. ….. SKYFALL, NEVER SAY NEVER and the made up one WEAPONS of CHOICE.
Finally seeing RITTENHOUSE ….. threatening RUFUS … NOT GOOD.

Wouldn’t this storyline be a golden opportunity to actually explore how Rumple found out about Saviors? We know that Emma became the Savior as a result of Rumple including a dash of her parents’ true love with the Dark Curse, but there’s certainly more that could be told. We know how he went about doing it, but we don’t know what led him to that conclusion.That would be an intelligent use of the character, and would allow them to do Rumple flashbacks which is clearly what the writers and RC enjoy more than the Mr. Gold persona.

Emma tries to convince Aladdin to work with Jasmine to help Agrabah
how does Jasmine even know that Agrabah is still in danger? Jafar left! And how did Jasmine get to LoUS?

Hook is hiding the shears from Emma, while Charming wasn’t truthful when he told Snow that he wouldn’t track down his father’s murderer. Unless there’s something else I’m forgetting about?
Not that I can recall. I’ve doubted all along that they’d have Hook be the one who killed GrandpapaCharming but it was quite a popular theory.

Is…Aladdin leaving SB? Or is he and Emma trying to take down the barrier around SB??

In theory, we should know by the end of this episode if Hook is responsible for killing GrandpapaCharming or not.
I’m starting to think what they’ve been teasing about Hook and Charming isn’t that he’s responsible for killing PapaCharming, but that it will have to do with the fact that they’re now both keeping secrets from their loved ones. Hook is hiding the shears from Emma, while Charming wasn’t truthful when he told Snow that he wouldn’t track down his father’s murderer. Unless there’s something else I’m forgetting about that?
Why was Charming not truthful? He hasn’t done anything since Snow told him to drop it.

In reply to: Theory on Evil Queen, the shears and Emma as Savior
(copied from a different post- sorry about that but I didnt see how else to do it and put it together)
-Emma’s visions are only the “possible” future. She is seeing the outcome of what will happen if she uses the shears and severs herself from her “Savior Emma side”
This is a parallel to Regina/Evil Queen. What happens is that by severing themselves, they dont get rid of any sides, they only bring their inner fights to the outside world.
What Emma sees in her visions are Dark Emma killing Savior Emma (like we have sort of already theorised) It was said in the episode, that the Savior always dies… Hmmm so maybe thats what always will happen if you use the shears. And the magic of these shears, is probably dark magic,, so that seems fitting that the price of using it will be the death of the good part of yourself.
This is therefor allso what happened to Aladin. The dead corpse in the crypt (which also had the scarab) was dead “Savior Aladin” This is also the reason Emma was led directly to the dead corpse in the crypt and not directly to the other Aladin, who was hiding in the back of the crypt. The locator spell that Regina made was supposed to lead Emma to the Savior and thats what it did, it led her to the dead Savior Aladin….and this other Aladin, who is still walking around is the Dark/bad/some-type-of-evil part of Aladin.-
