I picked up the most recent Thor film on the same shopping trip with the first season of television's Beauty & the Beast series. Oddly, as I watched Thor, parallels began to occur to me... Both heroes are literary figures come to life, physically imposing blond warriors with ties to ancient times, fighting to defend their homelands from enemies on all sides. In defiance of their ruler's wishes (figures so sternly patriarchal the name "Father" is built right into their titles), our heroes take up with normal, human women, both professionally accomplished investigators into dangerous mysteries. The lovers spend most of their time apart, he in his world, she in her's, yet whenever she is in peril, no matter how far away he is, he will come to save her...

Back when I first started doing couple's morphs, I was tickled by the Lucy/Ricky/Lois/Clark idea until I remembered that the show ran right down the middle of this idea in a later episode. Lois, Clark, Joanie, & Chachi was my back-up idea...

Another one of my earliest "couples" concepts: Mulder, Scully, Mork, & Mindy...

"Sigh... no, Mulder, I still do not believe you are an alien..."
"Here! I'll prove it to you! I'll sit on my face!"
"That... doesn't prove anything..."
"All right, you do it then!"
"Mulder..."

I think I may be having Mulder channel Duchovny's character from Californication with that bit...

Man, say what you will about the quality of that show (I've said a great deal about it myself...), but those are good looking people...

Here is Leonard Nimoy as Holmes from his mid-70's run with the character on-stage, crossed with Data in the role. All well and good, but what happens when Basil Rathbone, Peter Cushing, and Jeremy Brett are added to the mix? As you can see, it becomes quite the three-pipe problem! :-)

Also, Jeremy Brett & Basil Rathbone; Peter Cushing & Benedict Cumberbatch.

And Nimoy & Cumberbatch; Basil Rathbone & Brent Spiner

Cool Holmeses.

Could you do Nick Charles/John Steed/Fox Mulder & Nora Charles/Emma Peel/Dana Scully? That would be a great investigative duo.

Roy, I'm always happy to take requests! :-)

This time opening with Yoda ("Hmm. Clobbering Time it is, yes?") and the oft-mentioned Fozzie Thing...
