Ugh. The show established with Frankenstein in Season 2 that any classic story is fair game. Honestly, I'm surprised we haven't gotten more stories that fall outside of the fairy tale and classic fantasy genres. And to be fair gothic horror stories have a certain fantasy feel to them anyway, so I think they fit rather well on the show. Which is because you like it. If you had to pick between Aladdin and Jasmine or Jekyll and Hyde, which would you choose? Chances are most would pick Aladdin and Jasmine (although I don't think they have much story to tell with them, but that hasn;t stopped them before). I'm for either or but I don't think anyone could make a entire arc out of Jekyll and Hyde although it could be fun as we could see two version of our favorite characters and the like, but that's season 6 speculation.

Let's try to keep it to this episode and remeber it's not confirmed it's Jekyll and Hyde yet (Must be their last names?) Of course I want Aladdin and Jasmine, but they are obviously waiting on doing them for whatever reason, so instead of being upset every arc that they still have not done them, I'm going to be happy with what other stories they explore. Besides my point was more that with them putting Frankenstein is Season 2, they were already establishing that they were going to branch out from fairy tales, so it should be expected that they may do some of those things before every single fairy tale. We had King Midas and stuff even earlier in season 1, which is why I wonder why you mention Frankenstein as if it's the earliest. Even Nurse Rathed is earlier (we even saw the Chief there).

Yes, that's true, but Frankenstein is the first time they really confirmed something that really opens the door to anything. Greek Mythology can easily be considered fairy tales today, content wise. The only reason we call it mythology is because of the fact it was once a religion. And we didn't have confirmation that they were actually incorporating OFOTCN until Season 5, before that it could have just been a nod to it (especially considering those were the cursed personas in Season 1).
