You guys bring up Mary Margaret and David in 511 as an example. To me it made sense they were just going to chill, because MM and David have been through alot in the past 2 years, from the time Emma came to town, and I think they had just had it. Like I can totally relate to that feeling, when you are so worn out, you just want to be like "just let me die, so I can be at peace". That was how I inturpeted them in 511. Call it OOC it you want, but I thought it was accurate. The issue isn't MM being worn down, but she went through the neverending feud with Regina and there were times where she felt like giving up but she didn't. That is hat made her a good role model character. An issue I have with the character is that now she has become apathetic. MM is one that takes charge in whatever situation it is, whether it's to fight the good fight or to find a solution to the problem. We see snippets of that Snow periodically, but for the most part, we just see her standing around moping which is not like her. This is a woman that would announce childbirth to give her people hope. This is a woman who fought countless years against the tyranny of the Evil Queen. This is a woman who wanted to help track even while with child. This is a woman who proclaims that she'll fight for her family no matter what. This is a woman that got frustrated with Cora and murdered her. This is a woman that went to the doorsteps of Regina's mansion to end their blood feud in her death. This is a woman that risked her life to save her husband. This is a woman who was willing to die for a friend.

She isn't one that sits by the wayside moping, doing very little, and ever stands around waiting to die without something being solved, some feud ended, her people saved.
