Why can't the Black Lantern Rings resurrect Dove?

Here's a possible answer.

Eh, the way things are going, since Geoff says no Rainbow Lantern, I'm beginning to wonder if Hal will get much of a role in the victory at all. There's no point otherwise to him experiencing all the differing colors, and if that's the case he's just the series buttboy, the Marathon runner who carries the message and collapses. They may beat Nekron by literally going 'Kumbabya' universally.

There would be if he changed at all through his experience of them, which so far is green, yellow, blue, red, and I think briefly orange?...But he doesn't, they take him over and then he throws them off in favor of the green. Which is stubbornness, which is a type of will. Hal is not capable, and does not want, to embrace them all. He's not the Godhead type, and I think he might be crucial but he will not be the savior.

The fact that Dove is the last one I'd ever expect to come to something, and that the characters seem to think the same, leads me to think it's going to go in her direction.

That would be a very pleasant surprise.

Besides, look at what happened last time he TRIED to be the Godhead type. In fact, his deep aversion to taking on any other rings seems to be rooted in that. "Uh, yeah, blue. Okay. Look, I'll just stick with the green, that works fine for me, okay?"
