Hi everyone, I found this online via a link Neatorama posted and I just had to share it. I wish it came in a bigger size so I could make it my wallpaper for my computer but still amusing nonetheless and so true. Happy New Year's to all!

Re: The Red Light Morality Scale
A long time ago I used to think kitt was black and red,fire and brimstone.Don't you think even though its a cool black shiney car with a pulsating red light,it just might be what the devil drives.On the other hand Karr was black with silver paint job and a yellow light.Yellow is posative and good compared to red which is evil as in look at that black demon with red eyes.

Re: The Red Light Morality Scale
Love this chart. But one might argue HAL wasn't evil, just misunderstood. Or at least not-guilty by reason of insanity.
Was trying to think of other Red Light characters - Maximilian from The Black Hole might slip in there between the Cylon and HAL.

I think the person who made the chart probably agrees, which is why HAL is almost in the center. After all, he did murder his crew, though.Michael Pajaro wrote:But one might argue HAL wasn't evil, just misunderstood. Or at least not-guilty by reason of insanity.
The same could be said about K.A.R.R. (at least Peter Cullen's "Trust Doesn't Rust" version), I think. I've always seen K.A.R.R. as a similar character and even have kind of felt sorry for him in that episode. Had he never been deactivated and neglected, it's possible he may have never even gone bad (just would have been a liability on missions due to his self-preservation programming). Paul Frees's version from "K.I.T.T. Vs. K.A.R.R." definitely broke bad, though.
