[quote="Calluna"]Okay, now the long answer. :lol: The Oracle is kind of important in what I'm planning so I've given all this stuff a lot of thought. :wink:

[quote="persian85033"]I mean, if it's seen everything, why did it tell Aladdin that his question was his choice if it already knew what he was going to ask?  :?  Why not just answer it right there?[/quote]

Well, firstly, if she answered the question then he wouldn't have asked it and would still be able to ask another question. It'd be a freebie, like Genie getting Al out of the Cave of Wonders. Technically she could do it, but it would be kind of unethical. :lol:

I think the Oracle was manipulating Aladdin...

[i]Oracle: Ah, but mere questions about your past can be answered by your father... [/i]

She just kind of volunteered the information there that his father was alive. Don't tell me that wasn't intentional, because she [i]knew[/i] Aladdin didn't know that! :shock: And as a direct result of her saying that Aladdin's question was about where his father was. He had no idea what to ask up until that point except that he vaguely wanted to know something about his past rather than his future. And then when she does answer:

[i]Oracle: Follow the trail of the Forty Thieves. Your father is trapped within their world.[/i]

Yeah, that was a bit vague, especially considering how much she let slip before. She purposely obfuscated the truth so that he would think he was a prisoner of the thieves instead of their leader. She knew he would take it this way; if she wasn't doing this on purpose she would have worded it more clearly. Makes you wonder to what end she was doing all this... :twisted:[/quote]
