Originally posted by LysI'm not sure Jack has the protein marker. As far as I remember, Sam has it because Jolinar died within her. Kanan left Jack. I don't think he left anything but bad memories to Jack.
And what would Janet, Teal'c and Jack do with only the protein marker ? Isn't it the naquadah in Sam's blood that's supposed to make Goa'uld stuff work ?
As Sam able to use Ancient technology because she has the Ancient gene, I'm not sure I'd love it. It has a bad taste of "Super Sam" for me. I'd like better if she was frustrated because she couldn't make it work at first but try to find a way to bypass the gene switching on Merlin's devices or others. Of course, it works, but I like it better when Sam has to explore a device, put it apart, try something and then something else to make it work. I don't want to see her find a device, put her hand on it, see it glow and then only have to say "Cool!".

Sorry I haven't been around much, but real life won't let up. Just wanted to say "hi" and let you all know I'm thinking of you. Looking forward to more Sam in season 10 and of course, GABIT. I'll be around more soon, I hope.
Everyone, take care.
I'll be posting my AT pics from Vancouver shortly.....technical problems.On fighting:

Therefore doesn't it mean Vala wouldn't be able to use the devices?

I thought removing the symbiote left the naquadah in the blood, because that's released continuously by the symbiote, and it's the maquadah that allows the host to use the technology, because it acts like a power source, a trigger, if you will. It's the protein marker that wouldn't be left in the host, so Vala would still be prone to Machello's devices, for example, whereas Sam wouldn't.Yepp, it's blank down here.

Hi Everyone
Just a fly by post to say goodbye for a while.
I will be off line for a while for my big move and until I can get a connection sorted at my new pad which may take a while.
1speed is kindly helping me with the move and he is driving the large van with a lot of my gear in whilst I drive up in the car. The journey is expected to take one and a half days. He will be reverting to (truck driver) type and sporting a grubby string vest,baseball cap and tatty denims. I'm wondering what sort of tatoo he has gone and got done and I'm also expecting a "Women of Sci Fi" calendar to be pinned up in the cab. There will be lots of hanging out the cab window wolf whistling at any female totty he passes. His music choice is verging on the heavy metal and he's currently rooting out a soft toy from somewhere to strap to the bumber. The Yorkie bars are on me!!
Have fun everyone
ttfn

If we assume the protein marker and the naquadah left by Jolinar in Sam's blood work this way, it could be the reason why she couldn't make the healing device work on Daniel almost 4 years after Jolinar and why she could make it work on Cronus only 1 year after Jolinar.
If this is the explanation and if for once there's consistent writing, we should expect Vala's abilities to use Goa'uld technology to also wear off sometime in the future.
But remember Kendra from Thor's Hammer? She'd been free of her Goa'uld for several years and yet was still quite able to use the healing devices.Gracie
A Cherokee elder sitting with his grandchildren told them,
"In every life there is a terrible fight – a fight between two wolves.
One is evil: he is fear, anger, envy, greed, arrogance, self-pity,
resentment, and deceit. The other is good: joy, serenity, humility,
confidence, generosity, truth, gentleness, and compassion."
A child asked, "Grandfather, which wolf will win?"
The elder looked the child in the eye. "The one you feed."
