Resurrecting the dead.

Death is always a difficult thing. If you lose someone close to you, or learn of the death of someone you respect, then it may be as difficult to come to terms with that death and the many hurtful feelings that hit you in the aftermath. Some people, of course, use the death of some important to them to change things. You might try to change the law. Or you might campaign to let people know about a particular hazard or lifestyle that you feel contributed to the death. However, campaigning for the return to life of a dead person seems to be a little silly. Particularly when that person is fictional. 

Yeah. Ianto Jones was a friendly, nice character. He was designed to be. And his death was very moving. Yeah, it was designed to be. But really, don't people have better things to do than try to argue for the resurrection of a main character of an apparently moribund TV show? I mean, the sun is shining outside the window (here, briefly), so perhaps they could go for a walk or something. 

Of course, it is far easier to achieve the resurrection of a fictional person than a real one. You'd have more chance of getting Adric back into Doctor Who than Patrick Troughton. Sadly. But, whilst this campaign is having a positive side effect, it would destroy a lot of the drama of Children of Earth if Ianto Jones came back from the dead. 

Perhaps I should start a campaign named "Leave Ianto Jones Alone". But even I have better things to do with my time...
