Street Rats- Thank you so much for another fun reaction for Once Upon a Time, Jessie!! I enjoy this episode a lot, and I love that Aladdin, Jasmine, and Jafar have come into one of this season's major storylines. I've always loved the Disney movie, Aladdin too, and so I was very happy to see them brought into Once Upon a Time! :) First... I would like to say that I am once again disappointed that there are so few moments between Emma and Killian. We see him periodically throughout the episode, but we have to wait until the very end for Killian to even talk, let alone for him to really be a part of the story. But I love and understand his reasons for being upset and worried about Emma, which I will come back to shortly... Now... as an episode that introduces Aladdin as the Savior and brings him together with Jasmine finally, I really enjoy this episode a lot. However, I didn't love it and here's why... Aladdin and Jasmine's story is quite a bit different than their love story in the Disney movie, Aladdin. Which is a really good thing and I appreciate the differences in the stories, because this show is known for its twists on the original stories, which I love for the most part. In Once Upon a Time, Princess Jasmine comes to Aladdin seeking his help to rid Agrabah of Jafar, already with the knowledge that he is the Savior. Whereas in the Disney movie, Jafar tricks Aladdin into becoming the hero. I really love this twist and I love how Jasmine inspires Aladdin to be the Savior he needed to be, even when tempted by Jafar with the sheers that would free him of his burden and allow him to live a long life, with Jasmine if she could accept his decision to do so. And this is why I'm disappointed, that in the end, it is revealed that Aladdin gives in to Jafar's temptation, and has given up his duty as a Savior in order to take the easy way out before disappearing in fear of Jasmine's disdain. I love Aladdin as the hero, and I love the twist with him being another Savior, so it actually hurts me a little to know that he actually gave in out of fear of death. However, I also understand why he does as he does too. Being the Savior is a difficult burden for anyone to bear, which we've seen numerous times with Emma. Especially throughout all of season three. I was hoping that Aladdin would come back still as a Savior in order to give Emma more hope. But with this being said... even though Aladdin may no longer be a Savior, hopefully he and Jasmine will still be able to help Emma and the others to save her, and be able to help Jasmine save her people and all of Agrabah. Next... I'm really happy that Emma's secret that she's been keeping from Killian and her family is finally out at last. Although, I kind of hate how it is revealed, when the Evil Queen disguises herself as Archie and forces Emma to tell everyone. It's funny and a brilliant idea on the Evil Queen's part. And again, it makes sense that this is what it would take for Emma to have to reveal the truth to them. Yet it's a bit of a let down, I think. Emma's family's reactions are all spot on. And I absolutely understand Killian's disappointment and silence. He's hurt, and more so he's terribly afraid of losing her. This much is very evident. And I love that these are his reactions, just as they would be for anyone who is in love with someone who's been lying to them about a burden such as she's going through. However, I am also sad that Killian chooses to keep the sheers rather than throwing them away, "thousands of leagues below the seas," as he tells Emma he did at her behest. Not disappointed by his actions, because I completely understand why he would be afraid to get rid of an artifact that could very well save Emma's life. I am just disappointed that we once again have another secret that will undoubtedly come back to bite Killian. We'll see if Killian comes around in time to have more hope in Emma's decision to remain the Savior no matter her fate, for which I am incredibly happy about by the way. However, the final scene sets up for an exciting episode to come! :) Also... I kind of hate that the Evil Queen kidnaps Archie and then turns him back into Jiminy Cricket to keep him captive, and that Zelena is continuing to act as her wicked self. Don't get me wrong... these scenes between Zelena, the Evil Queen, and Archie with the baby are hilarious, and I still love the Wicked Witch. But I don't really care too much for her character throughout this season until much, much later. As for Jafar and the whole Cave of Wonders storyline... Jafar is a good villain, although I have to admit I was a bit disappointed that he doesn't really get the chance to shine in this episode, as all he does is pretty much talk a bit to Aladdin and Jasmine, and performs a tiny bit of magic when he turns the men into rats and imprisons Jasmine in the hour glass, which is a brilliant nod to the Disney movie. As is seeing the Sultan being enchanted by the magic in Jafar's staff, and him playing with the toys. I really love the actor chosen to play Jafar... Oded Fehr, best known for playing in The Mummy movies with Brendan Frasier. As for the Cave of Wonders... Since you love the Disney movie as I do, you might also share my same feelings that the cave within this episode is a bit of a let down. First, the Cave is already risen from the sands and only needed to be opened by a few words taken for the original Ali Babba stories... which I actually really do love the nod to, instead of the cave being risen from the sands through magic of a scarab like as seen in the Disney movie. And when they find the fake diamond, there is really no big destruction or chaos that erupts other than a pillar that Aladdin easily blasts apart to save him and Jasmine with his magic. I admit that I was kind of hoping for a good magic carpet adventure. However, I really do love that the Cave of Wonders is brought into this episode, and that this storyline helps to prove to Aladdin that he is indeed the Savior, not to find a magic lamp like the movie. This is actually a good twist, especially since the show's creators never had any intention of bringing Genie into this this Aladdin story arc at all, which is really a good thing because I don't know how they would be able to pull him off well without destroying a character we all love... all thanks to the phenomenal Robin Williams. :) Oh... I miss him so much. Next... I love the moments between Emma and Henry, especially in the crypt when he apologizes for bringing her into the life and forcing her to become the Savior. I love that she reassures him that she wouldn't have changed her fate for anything because it gave her the family and the love she's always wanted. And I really love the final scene between Killian and Emma, because they are so loving and because Killian is his usual self with her until she leaves, then he is seen pulling the sheers from his jacket's inner pocket. Overall... I do really enjoy this episode very much. I would have made some changes if I were writing it myself, but I appreciate each of the storylines nonetheless. And I really love the actors chosen to play Jasmine, Aladdin, and Jafar. Especially Jasmine, who is played by Karen David, an actress I have seen in many shows. So, thank you once again, my friend! Until your next reaction... Sincerely, Heidi

I agree in that it was a bit of a let down to hear that Aladdin gave up being the Savior. I hope we get a little bit more insight into that or maybe it's not really gone but it suppresses the powers? We shall see!

"I really want a rat" don't we all. The Aladdin and Jasmine in the Cave give me Indiana Jones Vibes. Ah, you said the same lol I love Jasmine and Henry bonding Have you seen the Starkid musical Twisted? It's basically the Aladdin version of Wicked where Jafar is misunderstood. When you mentioned the plot twist that's where my mind went lol It might be me missing him, but Aladdin gives me Will vibes. I miss Will so much ;-; I think he did it because he doesn't want Emma to die and he kept them in a moment of weakness. I agree with what you are saying about the "We should destroy them" thing. Like Why is it their decision to make? What if they were created for something special and the owner/creator lost them and has been looking for them only to find them broken or destroyed? I'd be pissed.

I have actually never seen anything of Starkid! Someone on yotuube mentioned them on a trailer reaction a few months back and I totally forgot to check them out.
