I was watching the HIghlander episode Unholy Alliance last night and my tendency to link unconnected bits of information cropped up. My son has been posting on his blog about the passing of Gary Gygax, the founder of Dungeons and Dragons. For kids of his generation that kind of gaming occurred simultaneously with the airing of Highlander: the Series. Both the game and the show also introduced these kids to the idea that there is much more complexity in the world than they normally see in most media. To quote Methos, from Forgive Us our Trespasses:
"It's not that simple. We are all both, good and evil, we have rage and compassion, we have love and hate...murder and forgiveness."

So when Ben posted the character alignment chart it made me wonder, what D&D character alignment the characters are. In Unholy Alliance we have James Horton who is most likely lawful evil and Xavier St. Cloud who is probably more like chaotic evil. Just something to think about.
