> [@gallows\_fodder](#): > > Frank Pembleton from **Homicide** and Red from **The Blacklist**. They’re both so erudite and eloquent, with (different) strong internal moral codes that fuel them, and they know just how and when to shift between charm and force. I’d like to see Frank Pembleton and Captain Holt (Andre Braugher’s character from Brooklyn 99) argue, too. ---

Red Reddington and Dr. Who (Capaldi) Red typically charms people while marking their value to him and diagnosing their vulnerabilities. The Doctor usually relies on stupefying people with his brilliance and then herding them along for a wild ride. Red wouldn’t fall into that trap, but would try to lure the Doctor into his. The Doctor would totally discombobulate whatever Red had in mind through sheer chaos. Red would consider the Doctor a magnificent prize to capture and cheerfully move onto the next dance and make the stakes deadlier. The Doctor would be determined to win the battle of egos and turn the dance into a mosh pit. Lawful Evil vs Chaotic Good. They would be lifelong frenemies. ---

> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > Garak and the Cigarette Smoking Man. Awesome. Wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t actually an argument. And if Red from **The Blacklist** happened to stop by… And on The Flash, Harrison Wells from Earth 2 and Captain Cold. Face (from The A-Team TV show) and Neal Caffrey (from White Collar). ---

You just reminded me of one of my favorite exchanges with my Mom. I mentioned how a friend was naming her pets after favorite TV shows (Xena, Buffy, etc.) and Mom pipes up “How am I supposed to name my pet ‘Homicide: Life on the Street’?!” 🙂 “Mom, how about something like ‘Pembleton’?” So my hypothetical pug is named Pembleton. Maybe House up against Romano from ER? ---

Not exactly arguing, but I’d like Capaldi Doctor to jam with Bill & Ted’s mentor Rufus. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/two-tv-characters-you-like-to-see-argue/736168.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/two-tv-characters-you-like-to-see-argue/736168.md?page=4)
