Mystic Muse reads The Silmarillion.

I haven't seen the show, but doesn't the protaganist of Breaking Bad follow a similar trajectory downward? From what little I've gathered , he started out as chemist who had bills to pay, and so set up a meth shop. He eventually devolved into a crime lord, if memory serves.

Walt didn't lose his morals, though, he just lost his pretense that he had them in the first place. It was never about paying his bills/providing for his family once he's gone or all the other justifications he kept making for himself, it was about his pride, as is evident by his turning down a huge load of money in episode 2 and him admitting to it i' the second-to-last (or near that, I'm not sure) episode.
