I'd say that Emma was out of character season 4. Now, she's sort of some overgrown teenager.

Snow's has been out of character since season 3, in and out, but if she;s out of character so much, wouldn't that mean she's in character. Or is it simply just poor writing or misguided focus that makes Snow a dimwit who is less close to Emma than in season 1. Or perhaps Swan Song where Snow was so negative, it was unbelieveable. I think in Snow's case they have lines that they need someone to say them and they give it to Snow regatdless if it something that she would or wouldn't say. I think that is why she seems optimistic at one time and pessimistic at another time, sometimes ib the same episode.

I do agree that in 511 both she and David gave up too fast, these were not the same characters from the pilot when it seemed like the end of the world and Snow had just given birth and told her husband to take her newborn child into an unknown different land and he fought with black knights while he was holding the child!!! And now they just want to give up and eat a cheeseburger?!? That is what makes me think that not only there isn't any character development, but the characters actually devolve from what they used to be.
