This was removed by @/TheOtherSteve with the following motivation: \\\"Sorry, not seeing it. The bad guys are pretty clear-cut evil (though usually not to CompleteMonster levels) and simply having one or two bad qualities doesn\\\'t qualify you for being a morally grey hero. You have to go a bit further for that.\\\"

So, I was wondering what others think. From my point of view it seems that the grey morality is not only a feature but even a central theme of the show. Good characters possess bad qualities (and often quite serious ones at that, usually facilitated by MrViceGuy) and we are almost in every instance encouraged to sympathize with the villains (who usually are converted and forgiven in the end).

How should the show be categorized? GreyAndGrayMorality? BlackAndWhiteMorality? MoralityKitchenSink?

Edit: re-added as MoralityKitchenSink with elaboration on the exceptions.
