Jumping in, I'm sure that Forget me Lots comes before any of the other Abis Mal episodes, because Iago mentions "Those are Abis Mal's goons!"
But in all the rest of Mal's eps, he doesn't have any "goons" (sans Haroud) so I'm assuming they quit, or Team Aladdin killed/arrested them. |
Yeah, but the "goons" in FML aren't the same ones as in RoJ... _________________ "If only I could believe you. Perhaps I can! After all... you do bear the name of a flower." -- Arbutus |

Lol, we need to hook Sa'luk up with this guy to give him a fanbase!
Anyway, here's a bit of trivial chronology information about the city as a whole: The rulers, as I can best guess.
1. Hamed- Founder, namesake
2. Amok Mon Ra- Mentions ruling Agrabah "thousands of years ago"
3. The Witches of the Sand- as is already stated, a thousand years ago.
4. (Assumption here) Bobolonious- He's living in the palace, he's a direct male ancestor of the Sultan... if he didn't rule Agrabah, he ruled someplace else)
5. Sultan Stupidhead... errr, the current Sultan
6. Aladdin (at some point)
Now, the character I'm not placing in that line is Kalim, as we don't know when he ruled the city. But I'm assuming it's a while back. Iago, who usually is pretty good with history and what not, doesn't know who he is, and Sultan says that his father told him of the "legends". On a totally unrelated note, Kalim's "exorcism" from the statue is really, really cool.
After we hit these surface details, I guess we'll have to guess using aspects of the characters themselves. For instance, Aladdin's reactions to Jasmine's decisions might give some timeline. In "Bad Mood Rising" he can't understand why she would give herself to Mamood to save the suffering of Quirkistan. Yet in "Riders Redux", he lets Jasmine lock him away to save Agrabah from war. That's probably not too useful of an example, but it might be the only way to figure out chronology without a lot of BSing. *Shrugs* _________________ "This cow's been covered with flour!" |

A new thought (I'm not editing my last one because it's on a different wavelength): I think "Do the Rat Thing" and "That Stinking Feeling" come early in the series, due to the fact that Jasmine is still meeting suitors. Eventually, Aladdin garners a big reputation (so Kapok says), so it's not like they wouldn't know about him.
Unless, of course, you lead the Forty Thieves, then the life of Aladdin and his helpful Genie is totally foreign to you _________________ "This cow's been covered with flour!" |

I believe the spider folk in "Web of Fear" where roaming the city at some point. Or maybe it's the old burried city is made the home of this folk. Now that I think of it, I never saw anything remotely looking like buildings while Team Aladdin where underground just tunnels & caves. |

"Do The Rat Thing" has to be early in the series. That real understand of just exactly what Aladdin had to go through when he was on the streets was still a foreign concept to her.
And Al hasn't quite got a taste of diplomacy and foreign affairs yet because he calls Jas a princess as if it's easy. The only other time he called her princess was in TWWW.

You know what? I'm adopting Cassim. You no longer have him. Sa'luk has currupted your brain to the point where all you do is say mean things about Cassim. He's mine now. *pats Cassim* |

Yet, the witches of the sand had a whole palace underground and that was no where to be seen. This is why I need to be an animator. I would remember the little things like that when I would do a reference. |

I wasn't insulting Cassim! I just think that it's totally illogical that he has no knowledge whatsoever of Genie - that's the writers problem, not his. *Takes Cassim back* _________________ "This cow's been covered with flour!" |

How on Earth WOULD Cassim know of Genie? He hasn't seen his son for 17 years, much less his Genie. _________________

But you are being mean to him and have been for a while. *points to cruel post when you said that stuff about Cassim when he gets back and Sa'luk has taken over* The writers said that too huh? Yeah, that's what I thought. *takes him back*
It's ok, Cassim. She won't say mean things about you anymore. You can stay with me and drink coffee. |

I assume that Cassim gets out of the lair sometimes. And Aladdin is quite famously the hero of Agrabah. After a certain point in the series, they don't even try to hide Genie, who's been in his natural form in Agrbabah, Getzistan, Ganastan (Maybe- In Armored and Dangerous, when coming back with the ambassador he's doing magic), Quirkistan, Odiferous, Pei Ling, Paramoor.... you're getting my drift. I think Cassim would at least hear of it. If he didn't know going into the palace, I can maybe understand it- but after meeting Aladdin, I still don't know how he couldn't know about Aladdin's heroics and Genie. *Shrugs*

Oh, no, that's a character thing. Such an arrogant jerk in that moment. But aside from that, I have great Cassim love. After all, I spent a lot of yesterday thinking about him for story. The not know about Genie is a logic flaw, IMO, and needs to be justified somehow.

Fine, you get him back for a little while, but I'm watching you. No more treating Cassim like dirt. He is the father of my animated baby's daddy. You can't dis the gene pool. |
