[quote="sirene d'lampe"]This a little late, but I happened to see this and since it's one of my favorite episodes I thought I'd throw in my two cents. I love the opening. It's so different and feels like a story. It just gets me excited. And then the floating castle in the sky; the image and idea of that is really cool to me. (Retrospectively, I think I like the history it alludes to.) [i]Though I find it a little jarring now that Aladdin fell from the same height Abis Mal did (around Fashoom's head) and no one thought he was dead.[/i] (Also, I'm somewhat partial to episodes that focus on Aladdin.)[/quote]

Oh well. <img src="images/smiles/icon_sad.gif" alt="Sad" border="0" /> <br /> <br />I wasn't suprised that he lived, not because he's the title character but because I remembered the Rescue Rangers episode this was based on. <img src="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" /> It was very similar: they had a gypsy moth instead of Fasir but she also went into a trance and told a prophesy about Chip's death in the form of a poem, and everything about it came true except that he didn't die. The last line also had a double meaning, like "meet your doom upon the stones" was about gemstones not rocks. In the Rescue Rangers version he was supposed to be crushed by a trunk; they thought it meant an elephant trunk up until the end when it turned out to be a chest. <img src="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif" alt="Wink" border="0" /> <br /> <br />I don't really mind that though because it wasn't really the plot I liked about it, it was all the extra things: Fasir, all the Abismalisms, Haroud. <img src="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" border="0" /> <br /> <br />Now that I'm thinking of it, this is one of the few episodes where Carpet screws up.
