You know, I often think this about Dr. House and Dr. Cox from Scrubs. They’re both antisocial, arrogant, and intimidating to co-workers. There’s even an episode of Scrubs where someone points this out to Dr. Cox.

Your pronounce reference is unclear; what is pointed out to Cox? That’s he’s antisocial, arrogant, & intimidating, or that he’s House’s less-evil twin?

All you’d have to do to set up the destructive feedback loop is shut Snake and Dora into a room together and whisper a word or phrase, a seed if you will, into the room.
I recommend “The DARPA Chief.”
Solid Snake (low, incredulous): The DARPA chief? Dora (elated): The DARPA chief! The DARPA chief! The DARPA chief!
**Solid Snake (lower, incredulous): ** The DARPA chief?!?
**Dora (skipping and singing): ** The DARPA chief, the DARPA chief, the DARPA chief!!!
(repeat until concrete begins to crack) :D:D:D

The quote was something like “Yes, we get it, you’re a cranky maverick doctor who plays by his own rules, you’re like House without the limp.”

I can’t – the two would easily hole up in a pub somewhere, with something sturdy over their heads while excitement happened outside.

Maybe, but both tend to have unusual circumstances sort of pop up around them, no matter where they are.

In other words they both have abnormal probability curves…much like Jenn from the soon-to-be-no-more Casey & Andy. I’d like to see Jenn meet Arthur, though I doubt she’d think much of him.
Whenever I watch Bones I always comment that Bones should run into House somewhere.
Also, stemming exclusively from the DVDs I’ve been watching lately:
I’d like to see Adam Pierson meet Gregory House.
I’d also like to see a meeting between Duncan MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod and Val Con yos’Phelium, Clan Korval (okay, that one’s also partially from the books I’ve been reading; they haven’t turned that into a TV show or movie yet sigh).
And I’d like to watch from afar when Martin Riggs meets John McClane. That’ll bring about some nice explodey-ness.

How about Aubrey and Horatio Hornblower?
I suspect Aubrey would find Hornblower formal and dull, but Hornblower would tactically run rings around Aubrey.
[/QUOTE]
I can’t help but think that each would recognize the professionalism and humane instincts of the other. Probably not the beginnings of a friendship but certainly some level of professional respect and appreciation of the others talents and experience. The contrast between Jack’s hail-fellow-well-met personality and Hornblower’s guardedness could cause some awkward moments. I doubt that the authors would like each other at all.

Capt. Jack Aubrey and Capt. Jack Sparrow. Let’s talk a little naval theory, shall we?

How much can you talk between broadsides?
Now, would that be “lawful evil” or “true neutral”?
After that…I dunno, Gendo from “Evangelion” meets Destro or Cobra Commander, maybe? (Now there’s some twisted, Wagnerian, scheming evil for ya. All we need is Alex Krycek and Wilhelm Strasse and the party can REALLY begin! )
