<Li> Victor Frankenstein and his "monster" are the primary characters from Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein, which was written in 1818 . While the story of Victor Frankenstein originates in the novel, the more well known version, (and the one alluded to in the episode, i.e. black & white) is the classic 1931 horror film Frankenstein . Such references include the use of lightning to bring the monster back to life (a process not detailed in the book), a bad heart (in the movie, brain) causing the monster to go bad, a lab assistant (a hunchback in the movies, while in the novel, Victor worked alone in secret), and the famous line "it's alive!" Also, Dr. Whale's arm is ripped out of its socket by Daniel, just like the police inspector in Son of Frankenstein . Frankenstein's Storybrooke name of Whale is a reference to James Whale, who directed Frankenstein and its 1935 sequel, Bride of Frankenstein . </Li> <Li> The Wizard of Oz is briefly alluded to near the start of the episode when Jefferson gives Rumplestiltskin a crystal ball in lieu of the slippers he was sent to find . Jefferson says the slippers had "been sent to another land" to which Rumplestiltskin replies, "I needed the slippers to' get' to that other land ." </Li> <Li> Among other references to Lost on the series (Kitsis and Horowitz, the creators of this series were producers on Lost), in this episode Rumplestiltskin tells Regina that "Dead is dead", the title of a Lost episode . </Li> <P> For the second week in a row (in spite of fears that Hurricane Sandy would affect the Eastern United States, which would've caused ABC affiliates to preempt the show if it became serious), this outing helped the series post another increase in the ratings, scoring a 3.4 / 8 among 18 - 49s with 9.7 million viewers tuning in, despite the competition it had from NBC's Sunday Night Football and Fox's broadcast of Game 4 of the 2012 World Series . </P>
