This a little late, but I happened to see this and since it's one of my favorite episodes I thought I'd throw in my two cents.
I love the opening. It's so different and feels like a story. It just gets me excited. And then the floating castle in the sky; the image and idea of that is really cool to me. (Retrospectively, I think I like the history it alludes to.)
Though I find it a little jarring now that Aladdin fell from the same height Abis Mal did (around Fashoom's head) and no one thought he was dead.
(Also, I'm somewhat partial to episodes that focus on Aladdin.)

Nah, I have the official style guide for the movie and it states he's 17 in it.

Or was he just homeless for 17 years?

This episode tells us that Aladdin is 17 years old. He says at the beginning of the episode that he has lived in these alleys for 17 years.
Also, Fashir is at least a thousand years old since his brother Fashoom was also there a thousand years ago.

I really liked this episode a lot; it was very suspenseful and engrossing, and I really DID believe that Al was a goner. (Although in hindsight, I realize that it wouldn't make sense to kill him off; after all the show IS named after him!)

Oh, and has anyone else noticed that Fasir seems to have a lot invested in making sure Aladdin doesn't believe in fate? Which is kind of strange when you think that he never really believed in it in the first place.
You know, it's true. Carpet doesn't mess up that often. I wish I could remember more of it, but I can't.
Yes, I've noticed along similar lines about Fasir. More like he acts as an initiator of events, presenting a challenge.

The Prophet Motive occupies a special place in my heart because it's the first episode I ever saw. For a long time I thought it was meant to be the first episode *ever* but the production numbers proved me wrong. Oh well.
I wasn't suprised that he lived, not because he's the title character but because I remembered the Rescue Rangers episode this was based on.
It was very similar: they had a gypsy moth instead of Fasir but she also went into a trance and told a prophesy about Chip's death in the form of a poem, and everything about it came true except that he didn't die. The last line also had a double meaning, like "meet your doom upon the stones" was about gemstones not rocks. In the Rescue Rangers version he was supposed to be crushed by a trunk; they thought it meant an elephant trunk up until the end when it turned out to be a chest.
I don't really mind that though because it wasn't really the plot I liked about it, it was all the extra things: Fasir, all the Abismalisms, Haroud.
Now that I'm thinking of it, this is one of the few episodes where Carpet screws up. How often does that happen?

Indeed. Very.
At the moment, I'm kind of seeing something like this...
Aladdin: Oh, no! I'm dead! (Softly) I guess I saw that coming. (Louder.) Now what?
PTB: (Appearing in a cloud of smoke) Uh, Aladdin, our contract says that you're due for another several episodes...
Aladdin: Yeeeeeah, I don't know if you've noticed, but I'm a little dead right now.
PTB: So?
Aladdin: (Rolls eyes.) Oh, I see. What's it going to be - shambling undead or apparition?
PTB: Oh, you just don't get it. (Waves wand)
Aladdin: Hey, I'm alive! How'd... hey, you know the fans are never going to buy this.
PTB: Wanna bet?

Oh I was so fooled that Aladdin was going to meet his doom.
And it never occured to you that they'd have a hard time continuing a series titled
Aladdin
if they'd actually killed 'im off, eh?
Oh there's always all these plot storylines that writers can do. So Aladdin won't be be technically dead.
