I just went through a period where I read all of the Sharpe novels by Bernard Cornwell. And then I read some Nero Wolfe novels by Rex Stout.

And then I imagined how much Richard Sharpe and Archie Goodwin would hate, hate, hate each other. If they spent enough time together, they \*might \* come to respect one another as fellow men-of-action … but they wouldn’t. Within about ten minutes, Archie would verbally run rings around Sharpe, and then Sharpe would disembowel Archie.

It would be cool.

Spoilers for the second Pirates movie, Dead Man’s Chest:

If Sparrow gets those letters of marque he’s aiming for, he and Aubrey could end up colleagues, in an odd sort of way.

Worf and Teal’c. As much as I like Worf, the directing made him look like a chump too often. Teal’c kicks ass all over the place though.

[sub]OK, I guess I have to officially admit that Stargate SG-1 isn’t as bad as I thought. Hmph. I dunno about Atlantis though, that woman’s nose creeps me out.[/sub]

Worf would be more of a badass if they’d only give him a fedora! 😃

Captain Jean-Luc Picard and [Colonel Steven Caldwell](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Caldwell_%28Stargate%29) . May the best bald starship commander win.

She Hulk and Tarl Cabot ( the main protagonist from those repellant Gor novels ).

Gandalf and Belgarath.

Elric of Melniboné and the entire cast of Alice in Wonderland. I’m not sure what would happen, but it would be . . . odd.
