For about a season and a half, ABC's Once Upon A Time was everything to me. I read fan theories, read fanfiction, wrote meta and overall gave a huge part of my fangirl soul to the show. Hell, I have the first season on DVD. However, towards the end of season two and the beginning of season three, it became clear that the show was invested in always taking the easy way out when it came to writing and using these fairy tales as a way to say something worthwhile.
