Aladdin Central Messageboard

[Emmlei]

Yep, I'm putting up another episode discussion post. This time, "Destiny on Fire." I'm going to wait to put up all my thoughts (and re-watch my recording of it) until after there are a couple of other remarks on the episode. I will say this: I liked it as one of the few, if not only, Rasoul centered episodes we get.

Uh, wow, what can I say about this that I haven't already said several times?

So, in this episode Al and Rasoul become friends, but afterwards, in Riders Redux and KoT, they're back to hating each other as much as they did in the first movie. What the hell happened?

Yes, that is true. I think we can all agree that continuity is not always consistent between episodes, let alone films. If you can point me to where you have commented (I shouldn't be surprised it has been discussed at some point before), I'd like to read it.

I can't remember exactly where, but you know I never miss an opportunity to talk about Rasoul.

The episode tournaments, perhaps? I use to have mini discussions there....

[Calluna]

Ah, you're probably right.

Oh, here's one I know I've never told anyone, because I know it'd get used against me.

So, in Destiny on Fire, Rasoul knows all the secret passages in the palace, right?

So he must have known about Jafar's lab, right?

So why didn't he go there right away to arrest Jafar way back in the first movie as soon as they found out he was evil?

Slim possibility Jafar had found one that Rasoul had missed. Very, very slim possibility.

Only other explanation, Rasoul may have figured Jafar wouldn't be crazy enough to come back and would have hot footed it out of town to avoid capture.

I just watched this one today, so I might as well post the thoughts I've probably posted before:

- Aziz has quite a violent death. Aladdin certainly enjoys making him explode.

- Is it really a good idea to have a secret passage from the dungeon to the princess's chambers? Some random prisoner escaping, finding this passage, and entering Jasmine's room wouldn't be a good thing.

- What the hell happened to Minos and Fatima, anyway? They're gonna find Aziz? Uh, alright. I guess they're in a mysterious void somewhere, along with Malcho, who *will* get that revenge on Aladdin one day. (Maybe that's where Aladdin/Genie are during this new Jasmine animation-- kicking Malcho's butt off camera or something. )

And I response to something posted a long time ago ('cause I'm on top of stuff like that):
