Lots to ponder. Oh, let’s not forget that his identity reveal will be on the Halloween episode. Werewolves & Frankie! Love it!
Wow, this is a really well-thought-out theory! I really like it, and it would certainly be a deviation from what I think of as a classic fairy-tale, since it’s more like science fiction or horror. I agree that it’s also a really good fit for a Halloween episode. Makes more sense than him being Peter Pan.
Just to clarify, does your theory mean that Dr. Whale is both Dr. Frankenstein and the monster he created? After all, Ruby is both Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf. If he is also the monster, it might explain the picture above of Dr. Whale with pale monster-like arms and also why his limbs might be falling off in SB now that magic has come. The picture of Dr. Whale with monster-arms fits the description of Mary Shelly’s novel Frankenstein. At first I thought it was just a bogus picture that David Anders posted to fool us all, but now I think it’s a leaked photo of him getting ready for his FTL back-story as the monster of Dr. Frankenstein.
From wikipedia:
The details of the monster’s construction are left ambiguous, but [Dr.] Frankenstein finds himself forced to make the creature roughly eight feet tall because of the difficulty in replicating the minute parts of the human body. His creation, which he has hoped would be beautiful, is instead hideous, with dull yellow eyes, and a withered, translucent, yellowish skin that barely conceals the muscular system and blood vessels. After bringing his creation to life, Victor is repulsed by his work: he flees the room, and the monster disappears. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankenstein
