* Nice as the carpet flying effects are...why don't the sorcerers teleport more often? It's shown to be more than possible in the parent series. It's particularly egregious when Amara comes back as the most powerful sorcerer in the world and elects to carry her dying son to the rabbits house rather than just teleporting there.

The only instance of non Genie based teleportation that I can recall is Cora teleporting a few objects around during her introductory scene.

* It's likely Jafar is rather powerless in Alice's land as magic is not commonly accepted as real. He managed to get her father to Wonderland in the first place by tricking him. Going back a second time would involve manhandling him into submission which...is possible I guess but much too risky.

** The parent show's sixth season confirms that there is another sister called Corinda. So that's who the stepmother is referring to when she says "I have your sisters". Drizella and Corinda.

**** Well, Ella having already married Thomas would give Lady Tremaine a good reason to want to mend things with her.


Added DiffLines:

*** This. Essentially, Ella's and Ana's roles got reversed, when she met Thomas. Who would Lady Tremaine rather have in her family: the prince or the thief? Even looking at Ana's face in "The Price of Gold," she appears angry at having to go to the ball and looks as if she would rather be in the (Sherwood?) forest.

** It could also be meant as a sly insult towards Anastasia. After all, Cinderella was just treated as a servant. It adds even more venom to mother's words if she's implying she now values the serving girl above her own biological daughter.



** Well if Amara had died from the burns, there would have been no LadyOfBlackMagic to train Jafar. He wouldn't have grown up to become a powerful sorceror that wanted to change the laws of magic - and potentially be the worst tyrant the world has ever seen.



** Well wishing for the bottles is a no-no because Jafar owns them. He is master of both genies. Although Anastasia had Cyrus's bottle, she couldn't use it at all because Alice was still his mistress.

** If Jafar or Amara had travelled to Storybrook then they wouldn't be bound by the laws of magic there either.


Added DiffLines:

** Amara appeared to be stuck in limbo by the waters of the well - until she returned it.

** WordOfGod is that Alice's home is a separate world from our own. So her book is just a story in her own world. The biggest difference being that in Lewis Carroll's story, Alice is a little girl - and here she is a young woman. The parent series has never really explained how any of these stories entered our world's knowledge. Though if you wanted, you could argue that Jefferson at one point travelled to our world and met an impressionable Lewis Carroll.

* At least he seemed to learn. By the time Anna got the wishes, he simply tied her and Will up in a room with the Jabberwocky and had all 3 wishes tortured out of her right then and there.

[[folder: Jafar and using hostages]]
Why didn't Jafar just keep threatening Alice with the knave? He's proven that there's way worse things than dying, such as torture and whatnot. Instead of convoluting the matter by getting her father and threatening to kill him, why not just torture the knave in front of her until she makes another wish? It's not like her first wish protected the Knave from harm. And speaking of that, why not just get Alice's father again from England and use him to threaten Alice again? Her wish sent him back to England but did not protect him from any further harm. Why did Jafar have to think of a new shtick each time?

** Will Scarlet is set to appear in the fourth season of OUAT. That will shed answers on Alice in Wonderland stories between the worlds. I doubt the Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Alice wrote is the same one in the Land Without Magic/Real World. Emma was familiar the Mad Hatter character, but he was a character that is in most versions of the Alice story. Characters like Cyrus or Jafar she probably wouldn't know from the Alice stories. She probably recognize Jafar was the villain in Aladdin movie and not the main antagonist of Alice's story. Alice's autobiography most likely mentions Cyrus, his family, Will, and Jafar.
