I hadn’t connected the two either, but as Rosie says, it seems obvious now. Of course, many of the characters in LOST are literary archetypes: Jack the conflicted leader, Sawyer the con man with a heart of gold, Kate the fugitive, etc.

And to be very simplistic, House and Holmes both start with “H” and and both at least sound like a place where you live.

What an interesting post! I’ll be musing over this for a while, me thinks. Funny, until you wrote about it I hadn’t connected House and Holmes as similar, but now it seems so obvious!
Nice blog,

Interesting! I love TV just as much as I love books too. Off the top of my head, I can’t think of any character to compare but in the last episode of CSI when Grissom leaves the team, the detective he’s usually up in arms with asks him, “What’s Watson without Sherlock?”

I think Grissom replies, “A great man on his own” (something like that)
