MysteryKat25- Really good theory! I love when that happens to me, too- looking up some obscure ‘clue’ that leads to info that just some how ‘fits’. I really am in love with the ‘Dr Whale is Frankenstein’ theory because so many clues seem to ‘fit’, but, hey, no none knows for sure. I so love reading other theories, especially when there is info to back it up. We will see soon enough 🙂
[adrotate group="5"]MysteryKat25 – that’s the exact same tale I found lol! I’d posted it the Spoilers section before remembering it wasn’t a spoiler & posting here lol
Funnily enough I found it looking into Morgan aka Lady of the Lake & had the exact same OMG! moment when I read the “3 son’s become Wales 1st doctors” lolI still like Puss in Boots tho- just cause it fits in nicely with him doing the bidding of a Millers child & Regina (&/or Cora) being such a child/person, who then married royalty- just like it says in the story + the tie in with sleeping beauty there as well 🙂
I’m just about to re-watch all the Dr Whale scenes to see if I can pick anything up that I may have missed.
I believe Dr. Whale is the Frog Prince because of the Grimm description of him and the fact that he said that Charming wasn’t his prince and wouldn’t be if he were already a prince.
“The frog prince, called Egon, lives with an old, retired king. A princess had rescued the frog prince in the original fairy tale, but he asked the witch to turn him back to a frog … as he found life with only one woman boring! The witch fullfilled his wish, and now he is looking for a woman (any woman) – day in, day out – who will kiss him.”
Also, Dr. Frakenstein wasn’t a fairy tale so it couldn’t be him.
K&H have said from the beginning, in several interviews, that they are not doing just fairy tales- they are doing ‘stories’. This has already been proven by the inclusion of Midas, the Siren, Alice in Wonderland, and now, Mulan. Those are not fairy tales either.
With the coming introduction of Sir Lancelot there is a possibility that he could be King Arthur also.
Grimm Fairy Tales continues to rewrite history when the story of the good and humble King Midas is retold in horrifying fashion.
Sirens are part of folklore and just because they are not part of the “cinderella” type fairy tale doesnt mean that they are not included in fairy tales from other countries.
Alice in Wonderland is also listed as a fairy tale, I am aware it was a book series by Lewis Carroll however it is still considered a fairy tale.
Mulan was borrowed from another culture and is based on a Chinese fairy tale or folk tale
that is more than 2000 years old.@Frog_Princess wrote:

that is more than 2000 years old.I’m with on not liking the Franky theory … anyone else from Fantasy land is Ok by me – I just REALLY worry the show will screw ball & nose dive if they start trying to add Si Fi elements to it 🙁
I suppose we can only hope that what ever they do- they do it in a way that doesn’t trash the mythology of Once.After watching last night’s episode, “We Are Both,” where Dr. Whale asks “Are the nuns still nuns, or can they date?” I now wonder if he could be the pirate, Blackbeard.
Blackbeard was supposedly a notorious womanizer, and reportedly had 14 wives (!!) plus there’s a Disney connection: in 1968, Disney’ released a live-action children’s film, “Blackbeard’s Ghost.” Then there’s the obvious pirates-sail-the-ocean, whales-live-in-the-ocean thing.
I’m sure someone, either on this forum or another, has already tossed this theory out there and I just haven’t seen it, so I apologize if it’s been discussed at length before.
I am believing more and more that he is Peter Pan, the thing with the Fairies, he is from another land and I have not seen anyone cast as Peter Pan with Hook and Smee coming up. Although I was wrong when I was sure I knew who Sheriff Graham was. Just my two cents. 😀
There`s a lot of stuff about who is Dr Whale… Frankenstein, perhaps, but how it fits in all Disney/Princess or magic at all????
I have a crazy crazy theory……..
SIMBA
Let’s think for a second……. a Whale = Sea LION.
The single brook thing he is
a. Good at making friends.
b. for dinner a single carnation
c. a visit to my condo (a huge land….??) where I will play the very best of Sting (In the Theatrical version of The Lion King, there’s a part STING), and the sparks will fly (like when he saw her father in the field).
Classic “God complex” . Like a LION
“Your not my king” …. He said it to his uncle Scar.But who knows….. in a few episodes we’ll see 😛
