Last season when Gus' goon was about to kill him and he was telling Jesse to kill the other Chemist he was calm and collected even though he very well could have taken a bullet to the head.
Much of this show was based on the premise that once he got Cancer he didn't care what happened to himself. He just wanted to provide for his family. I thought the scene was horrible for that reason. Walt is not a bitch. I think now that they are gonna come after his family the true Walt will come out. He isn't afraid to get his hands dirty. I forsee several people dying at the hands of Walt. Or at the very least dying because of something that Walt set up.

I agree with some of that, but I think Walt's begging to Jesse wasn't about a fear of death. I think it was about a loss of control and power over the situation. That was what brought about panic. Not that he was afraid of personal harm, but that he was afraid of losing any influence he had. So, I don't know that I agree his character was inconsistent in that scene.
