How to tell the difference between the Tok'ra and the Goa'uld

[PugGate]

Since the Tok'ra symbiote enters through the mouth, couldn't the system lords check to see if any 'Goa'uld' didn't have a scar on the back of their neck to find the Tok'ra?

[Qasim]

I am sure a cosmetic scar could be created by the tok'ra not that theres many left

[Dr Weir]

The goa'uld don't always enter by the back of the neck. They can enter the by the arm and the chest as well I think.

[lionel_pendergast_rocks]

the arm? when did we see that?

[Dr Weir]

the arm? when did we see that?

In that ep where SG1 visits the goa'uld home planet. One of the native goa'ulds enters a soldier by his arm I think.

[Jeffer]

i think it was acually though the front of his neck if we are talking about the same ep i think u mean the one when we first met Chaka(sp?)

I mentioned it once before, but if the Symbiote is suppossed to heal all injuries (To a point) On the body, why isn't the "Entrance" scar the first thing the Symbiote fixes?

[Ascended Times.2]

I think it can only heal flesh WOUNDS I'm thinking the scar can't be healed it's just..Ok, honestly i dunno. good point, lol

The scar might had been there just to add to the story but I don't really like inconsistencies either.

I can think of worse ways

I'd figure the scar is there until the first time they go in the sarcophagus.

Based on what you saw in SG1? What are they?

Not necessarily based on SG1 but think of other, ahem, orifices, at least if he's thinking the same thing I am.

If you listen to the Goa'uld and the Tok'ra speak you'll hear a very very subtle difference in the way TPTB flange the voices. The Tok'ra sound a little less menacing with their voice than the Goa'uld do. Even the ones undercover have this sound, and I'm suprised that the Goa'uld and Jaffa didn't figure it out themselves. Watching the show I was always able to tell if it was a Tok'ra or not, just by their voice. Anyone else have that ability also?

No they sound the same to me in terms of tone. The tok'ra would sound less menacing I suppose as they are not evil like the goa'uld.

I thought Tok'ra symbiotes enter through the mouth and Gou'ld into the belly.

The goa'uld enter by the belly to make a human a jaffa so that they can grow. Once an adult, maybe they can enter that way, but they do tend to enter by the neck and chest instead.
