[[WMG: Cyrus is Aladdin]]
Aladdin wished his genie free and in exchange, he became the genie. Cyrus is a pseudonym he picked up in honour of someone else.

Pretty sure that was supposed to be \"Mrs.\"


He's far too polite for one, and more importantly he's been sent over by his mother - in the original novel she was deceased. It's possible that the Mr. Darcy we see is actually Fitzwilliam and Elizabeth's son, and that Elizabeth is now Mr. Darcy. It'd make sense, since the original ''Alice in Wonderland'' story has concluded by that time in that universe, so it's likely ''Pride and Prejudice'''s plot would have finished as well.

Despite the flaws of the series, the characters are quite good and entertaining. Alice, Knave, the Red Queen, and possibly the White Rabbit (if there's room in the effects budget) could easily get tossed into either Storybrooke or the Enchanted Forest.

Due to a TemporalParadox similar to the one in ''Literature/TheTimeMachine'' (see the 2003 film adapation for details on that). She went on her quest to change the laws of magic so that she could turn back the clock and undo the mistake she made in giving up Will. That means that if she succeeds, then history will change, but her reason for going on the quest in the first place will never exist, which in turn means that she will never go on the quest, so history will never change. In other words, even if she succeeds at changing the laws of magic to allow her to change the past, this particular event is set in stone.

[[spoiler:Knave will.]]I assumed Aladdin's story would be a flashback, but the winter finale opens a possibility for it to be told in the present time story. Aladdin may find the bottle and while Alice [[spoiler:(and most likely Anastasia)]] and Jafar will be looking for [[spoiler:Knave]], he and Aladdin can have some adevantures. [[spoiler:Will's snark]] fits really good for the humorous Disney genie known from the movies, or at least better than Cyrus' usual politeness. Plus, it would be a waste to introduce Agrabagh and have Aladdin only as a flashback.

[[WMG: Bottle Genies operate differently from Lamp Genies]]
Less wild, more based on what's been seen: while Lamp Genies (such as the Magic Mirror) can be freed easily (as seen in ''Once Upon a Time'''s first season), Bottle Genies are ruled by SomeoneHasToDoIt. Meaning that if someone is able to free a Bottle Genie somehow, they take that genie's place. [[spoiler:It's happened to the Knave already, and it's probably how Cyrus, who's confirmed he was once human, became a genie.]]

This will eventually be how Jafar is defeated: someone tricks him into taking the Knave's place in the bottle via {{Wishplosion}}, making for a nice reference to the Disney film.

It is Alice In Wonderland after all. It would hardly be complete without appearances by The Mad Hatter, at least in flashbacks. He may even make some present day appearances, since there's some evidence to suggest that he finally got one of his hats to work. (Namely, the fact that The Dark Curse obviously didn't go tearing through Wonderland looking for him.)
