So, I just watched Once Upon A Time 2x03

So far, I'm liking season two well enough. Mulan especially has potential to become a favourite. That said, I am beginning to be beyond fed up with this series' seriously fucked up version of family values. Did I seriously just hear a villain justify his actions with "my wife used birth control"?! I mean, the obsession with biological family to the exclusion of all else is bad enough (even if it can be argued as reasonable considering the prevalence of evil stepmothers in fairytales), and I find myself having an extremely low opinion of Henry, because really, evil queen or not, Regina is the only mother he has ever known, she has not been shown to in any way treat him as anything other than her son or in any way hurt him, so his treating her as the enemy throughout season one and his continued emotional manipulation is - pretty not good. Seriously, show - I know you're American, and Disney, but come on.
