I'm glad they acknowledge they have left major plot points of secondary characters open. Hopefully they work on getting some of those closed in Season 6. Also, for the love of God, can we get Aladdin and Jasmine on the show already. If only so we don't have to keep asking about them. XD The reason why they don't probably already have plans for them is likely because they did all the Aladdin allusions and stuff in Wonderland, which I think is far more clever than just simply inserting the characters. I can praise them for originality at least. While I agree Wonderland had some allusions to Aladdin and Jasmine, I still think we need clear characters with those names in the Once Universe. Since they decided to not do them (by name) on the spinoff, we should get them on the main show. I'm sure you know how I feel about Disney insertion. So, that and why stifle creativity. I rather they allude something than to treat us like toddlers that can't see things for what they are. I rather have Ana allude to being Cinderella's stepsister and her mother allude to Lady Tremaine, than to have them hit me over the head with things like "Look, an evil guy in the Underworld. Who could it be? Oh, it's Hades. His blue hair told me because I had no way of figuring that out without it." Subtlety is the best. XD But it doesn't have to be Disney insertion. Aladdin and Jasmine (under a long strange name that starts with a B) are in the original story. Yeah, but I know that they are more likely going to head for the Disney hills on that one. Maybe if they changed somethings up, but Jafar is already done. It would be sort of bad to retread the same story with or without him. Actually, I've long thought that their twist with Aladdin could be that Jafar is Aladdin's genie. That would open up the possibility of doing something different. Could, but I like the "subtlety" far better than let's just do Aladdin with a little twist. Plus we'd have to have a Jafar flashback and I don't want that because it would really have to be the one from Wonderland and I would hate retreading because some folk haven't seen the spinoff. Then they'd sort of lose all the emotion and character built up in Wonderland.

Jafar's story was great because he worked opposite of Alice and her love for her father. Both wanted something, both got it; however, Jafar's desire was so horrendous that it works to create a wonderful story. Why mess up a good story? (Look at you, Season 4 Will Scarlet!) Honestly, we don't need any backstory on Jafar on Once proper, they can just focus on Aladdin and Jasmine. If people want backstory on Jafar (like with Will), they can go watch Wonderland. It's only 13 episodes and you can buy it on multiple services. It's not that big of a commitment, and if you truly want to be up on everything in the canon, you need to watch it anyway.
