Yes, that's true. I said it would be better to wait until they are mature and then kill them (if they're evil Goa'uld and not Tok'ra))sigpic

I've always felt that the Tok'ra queen wasn't necessarily born 'good' but learnt how to overcome her genetic memory perhaps by being 'taught' and influenced by her host, I mean it was likely she had a host before Ra discovered she was going against him and imprisoned her, she had the freedom to spawn her Tok'ra children, so she may have been free enough to take a host. If this was the case and she wasn't a mutant but merely a Goa'uld who learned how to be good, then wouldn't it be more likely that this could happen again?Comment

If it was the way you say it, yes I think it could happen again.Originally posted by angela21 View Post
But have in mind that if she was born evil and then learn to be good, then any Tok'ra that is born from her could become evil toosigpic

Evil is pretty relative.Originally posted by maylet View Post
Consider the Tok'ra's indifference in "Reckoning". Jacob/Selmak were advocating that O'Neill tell Ba'al to withdraw from combat with the Replicators expecting (and not caring much) that he'd fall back to Dakara and wipe out the Jaffa there--including Teal'c.

But the Tok'ra born to her would also have had her memories of overcoming the evil and becoming good. Sometimes when a criminal becomes a reformed character then they are far more aware of their potential for evil and so will guard against it more than someone who doesn't know what it is to have comitted an evil act.Originally posted by maylet View PostComment

The Tok'ra seem to be able to accept losses and even expect them as part of life, be it their own people or the Jaffa, they have become used to losing people. I think this is because as a society they are all involved in a war with the Goa'uld, so they would have had to adopt this viewpoint to survive. I think it says more about the way their minds have been affected by having to live with the threat of being destroyed then by any inherent evil within them.Originally posted by Jeffala View PostComment

and if every single goa'uld is killed in infancy, then there'll never be another queen to learn to be different and thousands of years of knowledge will die with themOriginally posted by angela21 View PostComment

Well he would probably loose his job and be emo when he realized he offed his friend. But no in the vast cosmic sense of things... who cared? And other than her a) family b) friends and c) employers who would even really notice? And in a few generations no one will ever even remember she existed.Originally posted by aretood2 View PostComment
