Top 10 Resurrections:

#9 Daniel Jackson:

As any Stargate SG-1 fan knows, nobody on the show died quite as many times as Michael Shanks’ Daniel Jackson – hell, he even died in the original movie, too, back when he was played by James Spader. Whether being shot by evil Goa’uld or succumbing to radiation poisoning, Jackson had an uncanny habit of shuffling off this mortal coil and then returning bright-eyed and bushy-tailed as though nothing had happened.

It became such a running joke on the series that eventually the writers made a point of mocking his many deaths and rebirths, in the form of this rant from Colonel O’Neill after Jackson’s latest apparent demise:

“All we know for sure is that he’s missing. Forget it! I’m not falling for it this time! How many times have you thought he was gone? And then he shows up, in one form or another. I’m sorry, but we’re not having a memorial service for someone who is not dead. You hear that? I’M NOT BUYING IT! He’s just waiting for us to say a bunch of nice things about him. Next thing you know, he’ll come waltzing through that door!”

And he was right, you know. Not dead.

#1 The Winchesters

Let’s face it, the Winchester family are the undisputed kings of coming back from the dead. You just can’t argue with statistics: in one episode alone, Dean Winchester died over a hundred times after being stuck in a deadly time loop (favourite methods of death: being mauled by a golden retriever and choking on a sausage).

The brothers have not only visited Heaven several times over (though they’re only allowed to remember their latest trip there, seeing as that was a fact-finding mission) but they’ve also spent years in Hell, done deals with demons to reanimate each other and actually killed themselves to wander around as ghosts or even talk to Death. They’ve messed with the laws of the universe so much that the universe, quite rightly, is a bit pissed off about it, and Death is starting to get rather narked.

Probably the best resurrection we’ve ever seen on the show came at the start of season four when Dean fought his way out of his own grave, but hey, we’re sure there will be more Winchesters-back-from-death adventures before we know it. Seriously, these guys just won’t stay dead.

LOL! I seriously rolled on the floor, laughing my butt off, reading those bolded parts. For real. OMG! "Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed" - LOL!

In my little corner of SG-1 fandom we started calling him "Dead Again Daniel". We also had long, ongoing debates if we had to label a story "deathfic" if the death didn't stick. A friend of mine once quipped, "With Daniel you just go, 'It's just a little cardiac arrest, Daniel. Walk it off!'"

Yeah... he was something else.

Daniel's tendency to die and come back made him such a cool character. It made for some great h/c along the way! \o/
