Also, Victor said that he messed up on his brother the first time. He brought him to life, but maybe not “living”. The undead. Now he wants to get back to help his brother have a full life.

While I think this is a very interesting theory, one major thing doesn’t make much sense. Dracula was a vampire, and was therefore immortal. We know that Victor’s brother was dead, because he needed a magical heart to bring him back to life. Dracula, a powerful vampire, wouldn’t need to be brought back to life as Frankenstein’s monster, because a vampire can live eternally as an “undead” creature. Dracula wouldn’t be a corpse in need of an electric jolt and a magical heart.

I love the idea that Dr. Frankenstein has a twin brother, who maybe is someone else significant like the Wizard of Oz or perhaps Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde. We know that a new character will be introduced in 2×11, who is supposed to be “Barrett” and lots of people think he's a wizard. Could this be Frankenstein's brother? 😮
