Having to wait a week for your reaction to the upcoming episode is going to be torture!

brad hawkes

they are sending their most respected team of representatives, no doubt the leader of this group will be a great and savvy negotiator... *HoWdY fOlKs*

ANIMEMUSE

Failwhale the next episode you are gonna love. Can’t wait for your reaction. I’m Not gonna spoil but your will be in for a fun surprise

Pretty tragic episode. The tok'ra just keep getting knocked down. First they take huge losses in Summit/Last Stand, then just last episode the lose another base and only 1/4 of the people there made it, and now the 1 queen who could produce new tok'ra is dead. It's a shame they didn't sample her DNA. Since their memory is genetic, there's a chance the asgard could have cloned her with her personality intact. As it stands right now, the tok'ra's only chance of survival is if another goa'uld queen defects to their cause. And O'Neill is REALLY holding a grudge over what happened with Kanan. He did that big eyeroll when Carter was saying they're different, and later told her that they're basically the same as the goa'uld. On one hand it's understandable, but then again Egeria's actions pretty definitively proved him wrong. Even after decades of abuse she was still willing to save the pangarans. Also good to see Malek again, and getting the "stamp of approval" from mom no less. I'm actually impressed he kept such a level head given what they were doing to Egeria. Important episode in regards to tok'ra lore, and we get a little more goa'uld history too(and Teal'c getting all boastful about their kill count). Still, it's a slower one, and I can see why it wouldn't be many people's favourite. It was good to see Jonas getting some more screen time. Star Trek fans will recognize Gwynyth Walsh for her role as B'Etor

Remember, Tok'ra means literally, Against Ra. It had to originate from somewhere, and it was Egeria. The Goa'uld having a Queen is not a new concept. Remember, the memories are genetically passed down from the Queen to each one. The interesting part in this episode is how old everything is, an ancient dialect of Goa'uld, the first Tok'ra Queen, very very old stuff here. So the Tretonin has this effect, but I wonder if they can tweak it for other purposes.

Dude. This is still a spoiler. What's the matter with people?

Anonymous

What is wrong with people like you? Why post blatant spoilers and try to ruin the experience of the person you're paying to see react?

Martin Nicholls

This is actually a pretty strong episode, I didn't remember it until fairly late in when the twist is revealed - two episodes in a row where we've had new trust triangles appear and this one hits in a way episode 9 doesn't so much on the ethical arguments.

Martin Nicholls

Yeah he watches these pretty close to release I'm fairly sure - I wouldn't by any stretch assume he's seen episode 11 yet.

Hok'Tar

Don't mention anything Failwhale hasn't seen yet. He's only one or two episodes ahead of us. This is a spoiler

James Yancy

I never believed that the Tok'ra just up and buried Egeria. If Earth humans could clone symbiotes as we've already seen, there's no way that the Tok'ra couldn't do it.

Teth

Nice to see the Earthens making some friends that aren't pro genocide or nuclear warfare for once :) A fair amount of time we just go about screwing things up. It's good to see a planet saved through the power of intergalactic friendship. I also like that they're able to call on the Tok'Ra to help other civilizations like this. Honestly it seems like they could do better at the diplomatic stuff and using their knowledge to help others rather than fighting the goa'uld so far.

William Sevier

Seems like anytime we see the Tok'ra these days, they're getting wiped out or taking hits. Out of any of the groups they're the smallest and can't really recruit. Gonna go extinct at the rate they're going.

Timothy Nikiforovs

That's a great point. I didn't even think of Nightwalkers. They could absolutely have made a clone of Egeria

Timothy Nikiforovs

yeah the Pangarans seem like they could be decent allies. They strike me as somewhat more advanced than Kelowna(more in line with 1960s-1970s) and they arent on the verge of blowing up their planet. In fact as far as we know their planet is a single faction. Even their gung ho military leader was just cautious. And let's not even talk about the Eurondans. Obviously the morality of what they were doing would be dubious even if Egeria had been a goa'uld, but they seem an excellent option for allies and trade partners, especially since their gate is public. I could see deals being struck where Earth gets the pangarans to mine trinium or naquadah deposits for them in exchange for technological advancements in things like computers, jet engines, power generation, etc...

Tomáš Polák

How the hell did the mother Tok'Ra fit into that woman? I can't remember her name

Brent Justice

If you look, the large blobby thing is still in the tank, disconnected from the sensors. I have two theories: 1) The "symbiote" was inside the big blobby thing and only needed a small part of it. 2) The Queen did pass down her own memories to an offspring and "gave birth" to a new symbiote, but with all her memory and personality to blend with her. And by doing so, killed the Queen blob thing. /shrug

Timothy Nikiforovs

I think the big blob is basically a cocoon/placenta type thing that isn't permanent. The symbiote clearly detached from it. I don't think theory 2 holds up because they scanned Egeria and found her body was deteriorating, which she confirmed. An offspring would have her memories but not exactly be her, and moreover it would be healthy.

Brent Justice

I think that fits, R.E. a cacoon-type thing. Kinda like the Queen Alien in Aliens, it is connected to this placenta thing but can detach.

Hok'Tar

The Tok'ra woman played the younger of the Duras sisters in Star Trek-The Next Generation

Anonymous

Have you ever seen the movie Aliens? Same deal here. She can discard the baby factory when she needs to.

Daniel Grafton

Thankyou for this info, never knew that before :o

Avlin Ærbødig

1 lack of time 2 dna clone copies dna 3 does consciousness be in the dna alone? interesting point.. not too certain though.

Timothy Nikiforovs

The DNA would be viable for some time after death, and there was a time lapse in there, so if the tok'ra acted quickly they could pull it off. Bonus points for putting the body in stasis to keep it fresh. And no, the consciousness wouldn't transfer, only the memories. The clone would be a separate individual, but with all of Egeria's memories, it would almost certainly be near identical in it's ethics and personality.

Limi V

They say in the episode that Egeria doesn't need a 'man friend' because queens can reproduce asexually [in addition to sexually, which we know they do, for example Klorel states Apophis, his 'father', fertilized the 'mother queen']. That means most likely at least some of the Tok'ra were made asexually and are therefore nearly identical [it might seem like they should be identical but biology isn't that simply], so they already have Egeria's genome. They just don't have a living queen to produce new symbiotes. I always thought the Tok'ra should try to genetically engineer one of their members into a queen.

Limi V

This episode isn't fast paced or exciting but I still really like it for the lore and the interplanetary diplomacy. The Pangarans turned out to be decent people [apart from the medical experiments on an intelligent sentient life form], which is rare, and it’s nice that we were able to help them. Personally I think what the Pangarans did to that queen would’ve been wrong even if she had been Goa’uld and not Tok’ra. Both are intelligent and self aware and should count as people, even if they happen to be evil. Additionally, the progeny used to make tretonin were basically newborn babies. I hope we can agree that using babies as an ingredient in a medication is wrong. The episode seemed to have completely forgotten about the security guard that was taken over by one of the symbiotes in the pool. We aren’t told whether the Tok’ra tried to remove the symbiote and if so - if the guy survived. This episode contains yet another case of a Tok’ra committing suicide for no reason. Egeria survived in a tank for decades. There was no need for that Tok’ra to die in order for the host to take in Egeria, the Tok’ra should’ve simply gone into the tank instead of the queen. It’s no wonder they’re in danger of becoming extinct when they’re so willing to die for no reason. This next point I want to make isn’t specifically about this show, but since we have an example here I’m going to bring it up. Ever notice how many female professionals in movies and TV shows got into the profession by following in their father’s footsteps? It’s like writers can’t imagine women will become military officers [like Sam] or archaeologists [like Zenna Valk from this episode] because they have their own lives and ambitions. The Tok’ra have been plotting the downfall of the Goa’uld for 2,000 years. That’s a long time. All this time they’ve known about that little wrinkle in their plan - that it will kill all Jaffa, millions of lives. How did it not occur to them to try and make a drug that replaces the function of the immature Goa’uld? Surely with their advanced technological knowledge and understanding of their own physiology and the physiology of the Jaffa they could have invented a synthetic replacement by now.

Timothy Nikiforovs

I assume when they reproduce sexually it's to ensure the offspring is a mix of both parents and has both sets of memories since bloodlines can diverge and not every goa'uld will have the same set of genetic memory. Regarding asexual reproduction, I assume queens have at least partial copies of their ancestors genome and all of that gets randomized to produce children. We've seen cloned goa'uld and there's no indication that a queens offspring are identical to her or each other. Therefore any one tok'ra may not have Egeria's full genome. I suppose they all might have bits and pieces they could try to piece together. At any rate it was short sighted of Egeria not to spawn another queen ASAP once the tok'ra were founded. Then again maybe that requires sexual reproduction, and she didn't want to get all Sweet Home Alabama with her kids. I'm going to assume simply genetically engineering a living symbiote to be a queen is not doable, as even Anubis was apparently unable to after losing the queen making symbiotes for the kull warriors. Another option I've considered is what if they captured a primal goa'uld queen from P3X 888 and wiped it's memories or genetically engineered to be unable to pass down it's own genetic memories. At that point presumably sexual reproduction with a tok'ra would produce offspring with only their genetic memories. This option is morally dubious in a number of ways, but they are facing extinction.
