As I recall interviews, the Jafar we've seen so far (1 scene, plus 1 Sneak Peak) is the same Jafar we saw in Wonderland, other than the fact that they were forced to recast the role due to Naveen's conflict of schedule.

They have acknowledged Wonderland with Will, a passing reference to the Red Queen, and more recently with the introduction of Dr Lydgate to the main show (even if via flashback only). I see no reason to throw up my hands in.. well in something anyway. Wonderland is a part of the canon of the Once Universe.

We'll have to wait and see if we get timeline hints in the backstory to tie into the ongoing mishmash of timeline. and we'll also need to see if we do actually get Jafar in Storybrooke, and under what circumstances. (Is he a genie, or will they say that he was released off-screen between the end of Wonderland and present day, which is possible since they have 15-ish months to play with.) If we get to the end of the series and the writers have completely danced around Jafar and Wonderland, then we can throw our hands up in disgust. Until then, I choose hope. (another 25 cents).
