GoldenKey lol! I know. These writers led me down many ‘rabbit holes’ chasing clues during LOST. Most of the time, it paid off 🙂 I do hope it pays off this time. Go Team Frankie 🙂
[adrotate group="5"]even if Whale does not turn out to be Frankie (even if it is looking more and more likely… yay!) I’m glad I went own that rabbit hole. We revisited a classic and took a little history lesson along with it!
Marilou, you thought he was Frankie from the get go! I agree, I had great fun following the leads and researching stuff. I loved the old horror flicks and monsters. Got all the old ones off of Ebay one year. Even Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. Geesh, they had Frankie/Dracula/The Werewolf and the Invisible Man in that movie! LOL! Only two missing were The Phantom of the Opera and The Mummy!

Another clue from 2×1 that Dr. Whale is Dr. Frankenstein is that he lead a mob and angry townspeople against Regina, whose behavior was “monster-like” when she unleashed the curse. This makes me of Dr. Frankenstein leading an angry mob against the monster he created after it killed innocent people.

I know, it was merely an answer to Gypsy… or me screaming at the top of my lungs: I regret nothing!
GO! team Dr. Frankenstein!
LOL Marilou! 🙂 Go Team Frankie!
Slurpeez, exactly! Didn’t happen to see a German constable with a wooden arm in the crowd, did you? LOL!

Here is the link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1379127/Back after a summer-long hiatus, just like OUAT! 🙂
I couldn’t really get behind the idea of Whale as Dr. Frankenstein. It just didn’t seem to fit in with, you know, fairy tales. 😉 But then I was mulling over the various other places they’ve gone with the theme … various Disney references that aren’t, necessarily, fairy tales …
And there’s a Disney movie called “The Nightmare Before Christmas.” Where Dr. Frank wouldn’t, necessarily, have been out of place …
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it, but it made me rethink my whole aversion to Dr. Whale as Dr. Frank. Or perhaps Dr. Finklestein? 😆

The entry for the latter character in Wikipedia has the following line: “James Whale’s Frankenstein is quoted in Finklestein’s line ‘I made you with my own hands,’ which is ironic as Finklestein’s body appears to be largely if not entirely artificial.”
