    Aladdin and Jasmine were just a way of trying to take advantage of Disney popularity (which didn’t really work out), they didn’t really serve any purpose at all.

    Agreed. Did we learn anything new about Savior mythology because of Aladdin? No. It just confused matters.

    No Savior mythology that they promised would come in the second half.  No savior motivation from Jafar.  They reduced it to him just wanting to get rid of Agrabah bc they hated him.  He somehow rid his genie trap.  The black fairy took over the back half of this season when they realized the show was done and they wanted to incorporate her.  So Jafar got the boot.  So annoying.  He had so much promise.  He was menacing with his staff and his voice and his confidence.  And they were tying it into the Savior…it should have been cool.  But nope.  They offed him in two episodes and defeated him with magical red dust.  And how many times are people without magical abilities going to realize they don’t have a prayer against someone who does unless you have a magical item?  What on earth were Hook and Ariel going to do to Jafar?  Ridiculous.  Him working with the black fairy was written on the wall.  The writers really messed this up and they really need to bring home this black fairy storyline to make up for this.  I am not pleased.

    As far as true love’s kiss restoring Agrabah and breaking Aladdin’s genie curse, I’m fine with it.  No issues with that.

    TLK bringing Agrabah back is great. TLK freeing the genie is… it makes sense… but I don’t like it because we didn’t see this get established in WL. Havent Cyrus and Alice kissed while he was a genie?? Why was he never freed?

    Have you watched Wonderland? A lot more Jafar there. Gives him a backstory and everything.

    A few people on here said I should watch it.  I watched the first two episodes and wasn’t really impressed.  They said it gets progressively better but now there’s like no way to watch it for free anywhere.

    The only way I can rationalize this is that Aladdin wasn’t cursed to be a genie by Nyx. He willingly chose to become one. Maybe TLK just wouldn’t work on Nyx’s genie curse, which I know goes against “TLK can break any curse”, but it’s not like they haven’t broken that rule before. As for Jafar being able to break the genie curse with the flick of the wrist, that’s just a load of malarkey, to put it bluntly.

    Looks like they’re still up on ABC’s website, from when they were put back up, in the Fall.

    Did they have limited availability with Oded,

    FWIW, he’s also in 24 Legacy at the moment. He’s only been in the last couple of eps, and there’s only 3 eps left in the season, and who knows if he’s gonna be in all of them and if so how much screen time he’ll have. So I dunno exactly how much filming time he’d have had to commit for that, but as far as I know they wrapped filming around about Feb 20, so he was probably working on that through Jan and Feb. I haven’t been following the OUAT shooting schedule closely enough to know what eps they’d have been shooting during that time.

    I know this is off topic, but can you tell me whether he plays a good guy or bad guy on 24? I ask because I adore Oded Fehr, but I don’t really want to watch 24. 😉
