    I also thought that was what Aladdin said, hence why I’m convinced it is Jafar. It’s a major continuity issue but… Anastasia. There’s a loophole for that but it’s a rather eye roll worthy one. I wouldn’t put it past them at all to change Jafar’s bottle for a more traditional lamp.

    Well one thing that makes me think it’s not Jafar is that:

    In a recent interview, Eddy specifically refers to how Jafar was trapped in “a bottle”. He didn’t say lamp. So maybe they actually did go back and watch the end of Wonderland, and aren’t going to randomly change Jafar’s bottle to a lamp.

    Does the Jafar scene with Aladdin predate Once Upon a Time in Wonderland?
    KITSIS: It way pre-dates it, because Jafar ends up in a bottle in Wonderland.
    HOROWITZ: Pre-dates and remains canon.

    So what Aladdin said about his old genie friend is confirmed to be a nod to the late Robin Williams, according to writer Leah Fong.

    Hmm. That does present a problem. Either Eddy spoke without thinking– wouldn’t be the first time– or it really is someone else. But I just have no clue because I think jafar makes the most sense

    I would agree that Jafar would make sense if the lamp matched the bottle we saw him trapped in. I do still think it would make sense to get Sidney involved too, since he is from Agrabah. Who’s to say we couldn’t get both Jafar and Sidney this Season?

    If it is Jafar, then the only loophole I could see is Jafar glamoured his bottle to look like the other genie’s lamp. Adam and Eddy may have realized that Wonderland fans would have recognized Jafar’s bottle, and wanted to throw us off. That wouldn’t explain the in-show explanation, though.

    I don’t think so. For starters, Aladdin said that the genie from this lamp was freed. On top of that, this lamp matches Sidney’s lamp, and Jafar was trapped in a black bottle.

    What if Emma altering the events in the timeline (by bringing ”Marian” from the past to the present) somehow had an impact on Robin Hood and/or his Merry Men and on how Jafar ended up trapped? What if what we saw in Wonderland is the version of events before Emma’s intervention?

    Just some outside-the-lamp ahem outside-the-box thinking….

    Edit: a new version of events for Wonderland (and Agraba) might also explain what happened to Anastasia.

    And if there is a new version of events…maybe Anastasia is in the bottle rather than Jafar? I am placing my bets on Jafar, though.

    Okay, see now, I was thinking this but I wasn’t going to mention it because I doubt it, but I remember an interview where A&E revealed that they didn’t plan for Elsa to come out of that bottle at the end of season 3 and that they shot it last minute after they got the okay and when they were asked who was supposed to come out of it, they said they might use that character later and didn’t say who it was (if anyone has a link to what I’m referring to please post it, because I know I’m not crazy!) so I was thinking perhaps maybe they were planning Jafar to be released seasons ago and are going to somehow bring that back. I know that interview happened because I made a post about it and how I thought it would be cool if Dr. Facillier and his demonic shadow popped out of the urn since they had revealed it wasn’t originally Elsa.

    Anyway, here is a picture of the urn. I could totes believe it was intended to be a genies bottle before they tacked on elsa.

    Has anyone ever successfully stolen from Gold’s shop? If Aladdin really did steal the lamp from there, then Gold knows about it and wants him to have it.

    GREAT point…. You’d think Gold would have tons of magical spells and such up to make sure that no one can steal from him. He knew about the wand and went to retrieve but didn’t go get the lamp? Hmm… Even if its useless to Rumpel, I’m sure he wouldn’t pass up a “No one steals from the dark one” moment as an excuse just to turn Aladdin into a toad or something.

    New theory: Jafar is in the lamp.  Iago is the one who has been posing as the Oracle girl on behalf of Jafar.  There’s no way Sydney is inside the lamp.
