So now the Jaffa are free. Good for them. They're scattered, divided race that have very few other skills other than combat, and even for that they use weapons that none of them understand.
I get that the Goauld kept them from educating themselves for the purpose of subjugating them, but what will they do now? They have no real doctors (and jaffa can't even use Goauld healing devices), no scientists, no economists (no economy for that matter). Some things develop spontaneously like art, but they're basically the feudal kingdoms of Europe, only with space ships and energy weapons.
Unless the Jaffa allow others to educate their children (unlikely) and at least some of them become scientists, doctors, etc, what will they do as a society? These are people who have been brought up on superstition and blind faith for generations, but unless they diversify, how will they move forward?
The only thing they have going for them is the relative ease with which they can communicate, Stargates and ships, and that is the only reason they've been able to form any kind of a cohesive council. Otherwise...they're really quite primitive.
Thoughts?
