By way of my friend

Spoilers for all seasons of the five shows mentioned in the tags.
"Name five characters you would resurrect from the dead."
I thought I would limit it to one per fandom.
In the order I thought of them:
1. Ben, from Dark Angel. Alec McDowell should have had to deal with his evil twin in person. And I had some wild hope for him.
2. Anastasia Dualla, from Battlestar Galactica. Her absence was like a wound in the last episodes. That's not a diss on them, I just really felt it.
3. Talia Winters, from Babylon 5. I hate the Corps and the Shadows so much for this. Someone should have fried Control and restored Talia to her rightful place. Even if it was in a novel.
4. Jo Harvelle, from Supernatural. I am no longer fannish about the show because of her death. And the underwhelming The Real Ghostbusters, but then Abandon All Hope cinched it. Bobby and Ellen dying would make dramatic sense. Jo and Ellen, no.
5. Cordelia Chase, from Angel. Rather, I'd have had her wake up and kill Jasmine as originally planned.
