I'm catching up on OUAT tonight. I'm not sure how I feel about Dr Frankenstein being in Storybrooke.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

I've decided I'm fine with it, but I can see how it might give one pause.
I wish there was some reason for him to be named Dr. Whale. That said, Snow White hooking up with Victor Frankenstein does amuse me a great deal.

There is! Apparently a famous director of a Frankenstein movie was named James Whale. He is the director that the movie "Gods and Monsters" is about.

This SO bothered me because I kept associating Whale with Pinocchio.
It turns out that the association is probably about James Whale...who directed a Frankenstein movie.
The association to a real world figure bothers me even more! I what the storybook aspect to be pure, not a wink and a nod. Feh.

Because we're buffistas! However, if I am being honest, I read about it in the comment sections of TVLine. It's not something I figured out on my own.
