I was able to guess who August fairly quickly but figuring out who Dr. Whale is just seems mor tricky. He can’t be Peter Pan it’s too obvious… he has to be someone we’ve all heard of but not from the enchanted forest since it’s implied he’s from a world we maybe haven’t seen yet… I don’t he can be the big bad wolf or the wizard of Oz either since those would also be first guesses. I’m thinking his profession has something to do with his fairy tale character too. The Frankenstein idea is intriguing it’s definitely out of the box but falls in line with the reveal being on Halloween. Then again if we’re talking classic horror and womanizers we can also throw Count Dracula in the mix what with then pic of him with blood on his shirt? The cooler possibly holding donated blood? At this point it’s tough since we don’t have too much to go on yet I’m sure after we see him with his memories back we’ll have more clues to throw around.

The thing about the “obvious” is that when we expect the unexpected, they give us the obvious. It was all too obvious that AWB was Pino yet we all believed they would never be that obvious about something. Yet, from the get go, they gave us clues about it. When asked at Paleyfest “where is Pino” they replied “his the wooden Daily Mirror dispenser outside of Granny’s”. AWB was ALWAYS outside of Granny’s on his bike.

I still like my Frankenstein theory, especially if the writers choose to do the “unexpected” this time round. However, should they choose to go the “obvious” route, as they did with AWB/Pino, then I’d say he’s the “real” Big Bad Wolf.
