You keep saying there's a difference between authorial intent and execution, but while that might be true in some cases it's not really the case here. Just because you're more interested in other aspects of the show doesn't mean that the very blatant, obvious theme of moral degradation isn't there.

And you really can't be so dense as to be confused as to why people discuss the moral of a well written character like Walt, because his transformation from meek science teacher to drug kingpin is the entire story of the series. Saying things like that makes you seem like one of those people that think Moby Dick is about nothing more than a whale hunt or Starship Troopers is about shooting bugs, not fascism.

I tend not to view TV show characters so much in a moral sense and I also made comparisons to the Sopranos.

Sweet so the show is about Walter

And guess what, Walter dies a better person than Gus, Mike, and everybody in the Mexican drug cartel
