I’m thinking that Dr. Whale will invent a machine that can help the characters travel between worlds. Technology at it’s finest.
He will build a sliding device that looks like a brick cellphone from the 90s. 😆
[adrotate group="5"]Just found something cool in looking over the 1×06 transcript (and watched that scene cause I did a triple-take on it).
At David’s welcome home party, he’s introduced to Dave (shakes his hand & is seen), Dave’s wife Ellen (shakes his hand and is seen), “FRANK” (shakes hand, is NOT seen doing so), then the very next person that says hi to David who says hi back is introduced by Kathryn and it’s…DR. WHALE.
They literally went from random nobodies that had names, to “Frank” to quiet and ‘hi’s and Dr. Whale. So the dialogue literally went:
Kathryn makes introductions ending with…
Kathryn: And Frank.
David: Hey.
Dr. Whale: Hey.
Kathryn: Dr. Whale.
HOW DID WE MISS THIS?!?

No, it’s Victor as per The Doctor – it’s just interesting that Dave / Ellen weren’t important, Frank was never seen but that the NAME Frank was mentioned IMMEDIATELY before Dr. Whale being introduced.

OH. I gotcha.
Sneaky writers.
PS: His LWC name is Victor Frankenstein but are we sure he’s Victor Whale? The ONCE wiki just lists him as Dr. Whale.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"If you watch the scene (it’s super early in 1×06 The Shepherd), Kathryn is making introductions and we see who David is being introduced to with the exception of Frank (camera stays just on David while they’re shaking hands) and then the next guy over to say hi to is Dr. Whale. The dialogue being isolated showed me that we literally jump from Frank to Dr. Whale and it never came up in anything that I saw, even on the reasons people thought he was Frankenstein (though I could have forgotten that little tidbit I suppose – it’s been awhile).
As per his name I would assume it was Victor either way and that’s why we were never informed as to what his first name was as Victor would be too easily paired down. Victor works for Frankenstein as well as being the first name of the director of the Wizard of Oz (since they do use director names apparently and they at least tried to mislead us into thinking he might be the wizard) so it could have gone either way in their line of thinking but would still have gotten it way too close to the truth and they managed to *mostly* keep the Frankenstein thing under wraps.
