10 Star Trek Characters Worthy Of A Resurrection

Yeah, yeah, last clone, I know.

But how easy would it be to simply find a file, saved to a hard drive somewhere on Cardassia, with Weyoun Ten stored and ready to go? Then, feed him into one of those lovely Dominion cloning machines, and hey presto, you get a rather annoyed Vorta, ready to continue the war.

And then he learns that his gods have been tortured at the hands of Section 31 and are being systematically rounded up by Admiral Crusher's new detection software, and that his own murderer is now living back on Cardassia, free from exile at least?

If there was anyone who could pull this off, it's Jeffrey Combs. He manages to walk that line between disarmingly charming, and pure evil, better than most, so how could this mouthpiece of the Dominion survive in the new, hyper-vigilant era of Starfleet? Is there a place for Vorta on the Alpha side of the Wormhole? Might he have some scores to settle with a certain former tailor?

These are the questions that need answering. And we promise it's not just because we'd do anything to have Combs back in Star Trek.
