Go back to the Season 3 Finale, and ignore the final 2 minutes. When Emma gets trapped by the time portal, Hook tries to hold on and pull her out. Then, when she finally slips in, he could easily have just said "To Bloody Hell with it". Instead, he chose to risk his own safety by following Emma into the portal. I think we'll probably see more of these types of situations, from both Hook and Charming. In fact, this situation may be the best way to pull both of these 'Doormats' more into the limelight, and maybe even see a strong bond develop between them. What do you mean by "the easier choice would be to simply give up?" What I mean is that Hook has options, one of which moves him closer to Finding/Saving Emma but is difficult for a variety of reasons. Another option is to say "Forget it" and go his own way. Giving up is always an option, and is generally easier than pushing through.

Of course, Hook is not the type to give up, so I don't think he'd ever take that option. And, as we've seen, he does seem to be rather good at surviving, even when he does manage to get himself killed. What do mean "when he does manage to get himself killed?" He didn't get killed yet. I don't mean yet as if right now, or early in the season. I meant probably sooner like in the middle or the end of the season (like Neal and Grayham). I was referring to the AU death of Killian. Even when he's killed, he survives.

Also, Graham was not late in the season. He died in Episode 7 of Season 1. That's like still in the first third of the season (and the first third of season 1 at that).

However, as someone else pointed out, Killian appears to be endgame material, so I doubt we would see him die, at least not until the last 2-3 episodes of the final season, and probably not even then. The AU wasn't real, and it doesn't count for him being killed. And what do you mean by endgame material? I asked what do you mean by endgame material? Endgame Material, in this context, is someone or something that is set up to have an impact all the way to the end of the show. Specifically, Hook is set up as being the true Love of Emma, and they are being set up 'to live happily ever after'.
