@LordMaim: Oh, goodness. I think the Death Troopers thing is the final straw for me and the Star Wars universe. I'm stuck with the name Wookie, however. #startrek
Um, guys..... three words: Dr. Daniel Jackson (SG-1)
How many times did he die to Ascend to the Asgard and be sent back for some reason or other. I think the final count was 5?
The Borg Queen - Killed by Data in Star Trek: The First Contact, only to come back at some point during Star Trek: Voyager and fight Janeway.....several times.
Captain Kirk - Died at the beginning of Star Trek:Generations when part of the starship he was on was ripped off by a strange magnetic wave. This wave is later identified as the Nexus, where he is found by Picard. He's then brought back from the Nexus to die because a bridge falls on him? How lame is that! Little known fact: when Kirk and Picard first stand on the bridge that is later Kirk's doom, Shatner ad-libbed "Captain on the bridge." When said bridge fell on Kirk, Shatner ad-libbed "Bridge on the Captain." Both lines were cut from the movie.

Agent Smith - "Were you listening to me just now, or were you looking at that lady in the red dress?"
Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez (Highlander I & II) - Because you simply can't kill Sean Connery
@gigshaft: In fairness, that's probably because he hasn't died yet - the regeneration has (almost) always been part of the canon, so it's not like he's apparently died as William Hartnell and then been reborn next season as Patrick Troughton.
I see where you're coming from, but this is too much of a cheating death device to be included as a faux death one, imho. #startrek
@Discodave: R.O.A.C.H. M.O.T.E.L.: He regenerates just before death, not after it. So technically it isn't coming back from the dead, its cheating death. All I'm saying is that somewhere out there, Death is waiting patiently next to his chess set. #startrek
@CarrerCrytharis: I thought that was more using Donna's potential life to power something nebulous that I never quite understood, more than the Doctor actually dying? #startrek
@whormongr: Well, I sort of can in that the Doctor never actually died and it was never assumed he had - unlike Jean Grey both in the comic and the film (before the retcon). #startrek
@Discodave: R.O.A.C.H. M.O.T.E.L.: Whatever the reason for trapping her in an alternate timeline, the result was that for several months, the Doctor was well and truly dead. (Donna went back and reset the timeline later on, thereby undoing the death. I think that counts, especially if we also have Superboy-Prime punching a wall on this list.) #startrek
Re-naming this thread "There's Something About Kenny" in honor of the most-dead cartoon character ever. Even if I hate the show, Kenny has the title. #startrek
On the topic of resurrection, has anyone else been keeping track of how many times Sam and Dean die in Supernatural? I watched it once, then re-watched them with my husband (had to introduce him to the show because of the cars and music) and the second time through I almost fell out of my chair laughing every time a Winchester died. It's like a drinking game. #startrek
I showed this article to my mom and sister, which then launched into this arguement on whether or not Spock actually died. This is, of course, after the long lecture from my mom on why time travel is implausible and sucks as a story line. Having a geek family is a two-edged sword.
*Update: Does Deadpool and/or Anyone from Smallvile count?
@bookwench: 'To Your Scattered Bodies Go' by Philipe Jose Farmer, a book about how everyone who was ever born is reborn on an alien planet. I think that pretty much takes the cake. #startrek
@Jesse Astle: Yeah, everyone who dies on the Riverworld is re-resurrected again the next day. Richard Burton (the explorer, not the actor) kills himself over 700 times, basically to see what will happen. Eventually the aliens who run the place warn him that if he keeps it up, his soul may no longer be able to "stick" to a body, making it impossible to resurrect him again. #startrek
John Locke from Lost.
Died by hanging, but then undied when he "returned" to the Island.
Cause of undeath: WHO THE FRAK KNOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #startrek
Allison (Young) from Palmdale.
Died: 2026
Undied: altered future 2007-2026
Cause of death: Trachea crushed after interrogation by Terminator Cameron, ostensibly for failure-to-cooperate in an attempt to kill 2026 John Connor.
Does it count as death: "Apparently not".....
Allison's failure-to-cooperate was a self-sacrificial attempt to save John Connor in 2026.
Which may or may not have worked.
Terminator Cameron was caught, whilst attempting to kill John, scrubbed and sent back to 1999 to find John and jump him forward to 2007.
2007 John and Cameron caused the removal from Depot 37 of the Coltan that Terminator Cameron would have been built from, at Depot 37 in 2026, thus preventing Cameron from existing in 2026 and killing Allison. Thus establishing a future where Allison continues to live.
Later John jumps from 2009 to this 2026.
Thus establishing a future where no John Connor had existed since 2009 because he had jumped out of its past.
So John and Allison then exist together again in an altered future 2026.
Cameron's chipless endoskeleton is left back in this future's 2009 past, along with the physical Turk/John Henry AI (which may have merged with Cameron's chip either just prior to the jump or earlier when Cameron's chip briefly merged with the (Crom?)ARTIE traffic control network) and Sarah Connor.
Cameron's chip (+AI?) is in Cromartie's endoskeleton along with Terminator Catherine Weaver in this future, with a live Kyle Reese and Uncle Derek Reese,
who.....
Died: 2009
Undied: altered future 2009-2026
Cause of death: "Bullet to the brainpan, squish."
Does it count as death: Every death counts. #startrek
