Seriously, if you fidn't see my comment at the 607 thread I said I enjoyed the episode and I got excited for this one after I saw the promo and sneak peek, it's there you can go and see it. I honestly want to enjoy the show, but it keeps being bad so what am I supposed to say?

Why do I still watch it? I've said about millions of times, but I guess this is the best chance I see to explain it. Media shapes the way people see our society, it normalizes values and behaviors so when a show (any show, not just OUAT) portrays mysogynism and sexism and rape culture without commenting on them, without bad consequences, etc... It leads people to treat women, poc, lgbt badly, or elect an asshole for president. That's why "it's just a TV show" is a ridiculous statment to dismiss criticism and people should view media more critically.

Thank you for the question.
