Also i am not trying to be a jerk, but defibrillators do not start your heart beating when it stops, that is a tv thing, they actually can only work when your heart is out of rhythm and the shock can help your heart return to regular rhythm. If your heart is not beating then a defibrillator would do nothing.
THANK YOU!! 😀 !! I could not add that to the previous argument without sounding like a horrible person.

Dr. Whale has a history with EQ. I’m sure EQ would love to have her father Henry & Daniel back.
yes! he would not create a creature but rather try to bring back a loved one (it sounds a lot less silly like that!
now, all that’s left to do is for me, to get ready to apologize to everyone for being so intense about this theory when it turns out to be something completely different! (let’s face the cold hard truth here, surely no one has figured it out and we will all be flabbergasted when we learn the truth!)

What I meant by “our” world is that he’s not from a land of magic or from a mythical place. He’s from a world that is very similar to ours albeit with some highly improbable occurences. Though through medical advances, sewing “different body pieces together” could be seen as organ transplants such as taking a kidney from one person and sticking it in another person. Bringing someone back to life “harnessing the power of a thunderstorm” whilst that is an exaggeration, when people go into cardiac arrest, they are given the defibulator to restart their hearts. The defibulator sends a jolt of electricity to restart their heart making them appear they have come back to life.
Frankenstein is still about science rather than actual magic.
of course Frankenstein is considered to be about science… in 2012. It’s all about context.
the book was published in 1818 and written by an 18 years old girl (who had little actual education). there were no organ transplant and no coming back from a cardiac arrest (If someone was declared dead and suddenly came back, they blamed it on sorcery or God). my history lessons are failing me right now but *I think* the first successful transplant was at the beginning of the 20th century. For the people who first read Frankenstein, it was not a scientific allegory, it was magic masquerading as science.
After all the alterations the OUAT team has made to different fairytale putting Frankenstein in a different world or even in FTL would not be that far fetched (even if DR. whale does not turn out to be DR. Victor).
Following your logic, greek mythology also happened in “our world’, all that godly business was happening at the top of mount Olympus and yet we still had an appearance by Midas.
… I am rather enjoying this verbal joust
alright, maybe I am a bit over attached to the Frankenstein theory but I have to disagree with you, Frankenstein is not from “our” world. Dr. victor Frankenstein is from a world where you can sew different body pieces together (without prior DNA testing) and bring it to life by harnessing the power of a thunderstorm (like magic!). Like fairy tales, “Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus” is a work of fiction therefor making it impossible for it to happen in our world.

That makes more sense. I just thought “monster” could refer to Frankenstein (assuming Dr. Whale is he).
That may be right too, your guess is as good as everyone else’s
I’m all excited about the title of episode 5 The Doctor it gives more and more weight to the Frankenstein theory!
big ol’ fat theory here… more like shooting arrows in the dark really. In LOST absolutely nothing good came from Tallahassee. people met there and got killed there (or almost killed)
maybe Tallahassee is the town where Emma committed a crime that earned her some jail time or Tallahassee is where she was in jail. maybe US citizen could help me out here; if you do jail time in a certain city are you considered a resident of said city? Maybe that’s why she was over there longer then usual.
