[QUOTE=Evil Captor]  
But only if they team her up with Munch and Ice T, not Stabler and Benson. I wanna hear Ice T asking, “Who the hell does this beeyotch think she is? We had people like her a dime a dozen in the hood, they’d tell your future for five bucks but the only thing that ever happened was, you lost five bucks.”

And then Munch would say, “I share your suspicions, but word from Allison’s crew is that she’s one medium that, when she’s says “The body is buried here,” the body WILL be buried there. So let’s check her out. Could be fun either way.”

😃 I can just hear that conversation.

[QUOTE=Evil Captor]  
I think a more interesting fight would be the Closer from John Barnes’ “Caeser’s Bicycle” series vs. the Draka. The Closers would have a strong techno edge, but the the Draka’s emphasis on individual warrior skills would make them extremely effective in close combat of any kind. And best of all, they’re both such ruthless, arrogant, fascist scum that no matter who loses, everybody wins!  
[/QUOTE]

Read John Barnes’ “Upon Their Backs, To Bite 'Em”, in the S.M. Sterling edited anthology “Drakas!”. That’s the premise of the short story.

I want a 24/Alias crossover where the Jacks think the other has kidnapped his daughter.

Jack: Where’s my daughter?! (Shoots Jack in the kneecap)  
Other Jack: Where’s my daughter?! (Shoots first Jack in the kneecap)

Then, after they’ve beaten the crap out of each other, they’d team up and defeat all the terrorists in 12 hours.

A Lost and 24 crossover. Within 24 hours, Jack Bauer will kill every Other (and probably half the Oceanic 815 survivors) on the island after torturning the secrets of the DHARMA Initiative out of them, escape to the mainland and blow up the headquarters of the Hanso Foundation.

At on point he will tell Sayid his torture technique reminds him of an Asian massage parlor he once frequented. He will also glare at Hurley until he loses weight.

I can’t beleive you suggested that!

What has a team of careful scientific investigators got to do with a series where the makeup budget is higher than the money spent on plot? :eek:

Godzilla vs. The Incredible Hulk is long overdue.

As an opening act, how about King Kong vs. The Fantastic Four?

The Cosby’s move next door to the Bundy’s. Theo dates Kelly. Hijinks ensue.

Mythbusters / Crossing over with John Edward. Someone’s gotta stop him.

Pokemon / ESPN Big Game Hunting.

How about _Deadwood_ and one of those '50s cowboy shows where the sheriff was a white-hatted handsome hero with perfect teeth?

Cherry Poptart and . . . well, it would be fun to pair her with practically anything, wouldn’t it? Cherry could suck the lug nuts off a Dalek! 🙂

Theo couldn’t handle Kelly. She’d turn him out.

On the other hand, freaky-ass _Denise_ dating Kelly is totally worth turning in for.
