If you had the power to bring back any dead character from any of Joss's shows, who would you pick?

Book, Wesley, Fred.
In that order.
I felt slighted when I went to see Serenity in the Arlington Drafthouse (that was so cool, by the way!) and everyone was up in arms about Wash, and not one peep about Book.
Wes was just awesome. He was the most pragmatic of the group, I felt, and he knew what to do to get the job done.
And Fred...well, that chick is hot!
There you go!

wash, wesley (*sob*) and anya.
and cordelia.
the others I'm not that fussed about, I was sad for fred (more for wes' reaction actually) but then we got illyria so that was cool. tara always kind of grated on me, I disliked joyce from the beginning, book was wonderful and I still want to know about him, but it didn't upset me as much as wash, ms calendar was ok but I didn't pine for her, doyle was lovely but he had a good hero's death and I got over that years ago...
but wesley was the most consistantly developing character throught the series', think how much more he could have grown. plus he's so incredibly sexy 
anya was, to quote andrew: a feisty waif with a fiery temper and a vulnerable heart that she hides even from herself... what's not to love?
cordy had just grown into the strongest, warmest, bravest woman in all three series when she was taken from us 
and wash... goes without saying

Wash, because he's the one I identify with most.
Why is the rum always gone?

bring back everyone, but if i had to chose three, here they are
firefly; my heart says wash, hence my name but my brain says book just to find out his past
buffy; the mayor, i know a baddie but hes the best villian ever
angel; doyle great chemistry between him, cordelia and angel but a close second would be fred [sexiest girl in joss's shows]

No one's said this, perhaps because we're all in denial, but I'd say bring back Angel himself.
We discussed this on one of the other threads, but I very much interpreted the series finale to suggest that Angel, Gunn, Spike and Illyriah were all killed (more or less confirmed by special features and commentary tracks). So I'd say Angel.
Wesley's death was damn beautiful - I'd keep him dead for the elegance of the writing. Same with Fred.

You know, Irishwash, I never thought about any of the villains! And The Mayor was excellent. I wouldn't mind seeing Jubal Early again either.
Awintory, I agree with you on what happened at the end of 'Not Fade Away'. Joss has been *very* vocal about saying that it was *not* a cliffhanger and was never intended to be taken as such. It was about doing the right thing against impossible odds not because you might by some miracle win, but because it's the right thing to do.
Cordelia's death nearly ripped my heart out, even though I felt her character lost a bit towards the end, that final episode of hers was just perfect. "Oh, and... you're welcome!" *sob* I was actually pretty annoyed at Fred's death, though her death was the most difficult one to watch, even tougher than Tara's (which was over pretty quickly after all... Fred really suffered) but I think it was worth it for Illyria. I loved that character, and would like to have seen more of her.

Wash and Anya were among my absolute favorite characters on their respective shows, but I really feel that Jonathan (Buffy) didn't deserve to die, especially not the way he did and after he was 'the good one' among the three nerds and we was saved by Buffy so many times, only to end up dead.
But seriously - WASH!! Poor Wash. Poor Zoe.
I never watched Angel - didn't get into the way I did with Buffy (and later Firefly). Perhaps Dawn should've died. She always annoyed the heck outta me.
Every well-bred petty crook knows the small concealable weapons always go to the far left of the place setting.

I still think the ending of ANGEL has been widely misinterpreted. Everyone going out fighting meant just that.
This spoiler includes specific things that happened in ANGEL's finale and partial spoilers for the tv movies that didn't happen, which may actually still be told in another form.
Select to view spoiler:
The only actual deaths were Wes, Lindsey, and approx. ten minutes later, Gunn, who would've become a vampire in the tv movies that never happened. This was confirmed by more than one source, including Amy Acker and J. August Richards.
Joss has said, and I think Jeff Bell, too, that the ending wasn't changed at all from when they originally assumed they would be back for Season 6. He never specifically said who lived and died (other than the humans because we knew that already) because he planned to wait until he was ready and able to tell the story. Joss actually had big plans for the fallout of what Team Angel did in the finale that would've created plenty of story for Season 6. Maybe that will now be the central story for the Season 6 comics he's planning. The only (or main) thing that changed once they found out about the cancellation was Wes's death.
