New user here! Hi, everyone!
So, I was re-watching StarGate: SG1's first-season episode "Enigma" and was a bit perplexed by them.
I understand that it was theorized by Daniel Jackson that the Tollans are a race hundreds of years more advanced than the Tau'ri because they may not have experienced the set-backs we did with our Dark Ages. The Tollans developed their technologies and made greater advances than we did and lived in relative isolation from the rest of the galaxy. In fact, when Hammond asked the Tollans about the Goa'uld, the Tollans simply replied that they were "aware of them" but did not interact.
But I thought all humans were "seeded" throughout the Milky Way by the Goa'uld? Wouldn't the Tollans have to have some kind of history of the Goa'uld and not just be simply aware of the Goa'uld? And wouldn't the Goa'uld have noticed the Tollan at some point during the Tollan's first travels onto other planets and have attempted to eliminate the threat, much like they did with the Tau'ri?
What's more, I find it hard to believe that a technologically advanced race like the Tollan, being presented with the planet of their evolutionary origins, would not be the least bit curious about the planet, our history, and humans, in general.
Maybe they were a second group of humans seeded on another planet by the Ancients, evolving independently of the Tau'ri?
