Cure (610)

[greytop]

I always assumed that select Goa'uld had the ability to become queens. I guess that they are scarce. We've only encountered what, 3 so far?

I believe it is 4. Hathor, Egeria, Ammonet, and one unnamed queen in a later story.

[Anubis]

That's right. We've seen four, I think it might be five but I can't think about it!

[AgentX]

I really enjoy the queen story line when they do pop up. Are we counting the fossilized queen Daniel found?

[greytop]

I was counting the 4th queen to be the one in S7 (Spoiler) with the super-soldiers.

[Anubis]

Oh, the one they found in Evolution. I think I'm with you now!

[Selmak]

Perhaps Egria had birthed a queen before Ra enslaved her in the tomb and hid her on another world. What do you think?

I love that idea! That would be a good story line and it would mean not the end of the Tok'ra.

[greytop]

Does anyone know the English translation of what Egeria said at the end?

[Selmak]

I don't even know what language it is in.

[greytop]

It could be Goa'uld.

[Selmak]

I really wish Egeria could have survived... it would have changed tok'ra society

[SeaBee]

Interesting episode, and fairly vital, as it gives the opening for finding the formula for Trutonin.

[Blue Banrigh]

I'm just wondering why they didn't find a sarcophagus for Egeria. I know it drains the good from their hearts, but surely once wouldn't hurt and it is their queen. Surely an exception could be made.

She could have then given birth to a new queen.

[Mr Prophet]

I think she was really too far gone for a sarcophagus. We know it has limits; Yu has spent too long using it, perhaps Egeria had spent too long _not_ using it. Her body was basically shot all to hell and back.

I believe that even if they had sarcophagus, Egeria would have refuse to use it. It goes against their teaching.

They did find the forumal for tretinion as this episode had tretonin in it. You mena the jaffa syboite replacement tretonin

[Madeleine]

I don't think they found the formula for it in this ep, just how to make it out of ground up goauld. They'd found the formula by Changeling, that's when they were first synthesising it themselves.

Thanks, MW, that was what I was trying to say, but badly!

[Major Fischer]

Egeria is the coolest Tok'ra... ever. Okay, maybe not cooler than Selmak, but certainly ties.

[LoneStar1836]

Okay, I know this is a stupid observation/question, but when the guy was treading water and then is suddenly yanked down under and submerged. Just who was doing the yanking? (Or at least getting “pulled” under is how I interpreted what happened.) Last I looked symbiotes didn’t have hands. Guess they grabbed him with their fins or whatever you call them. Sorry, I know that’s not a serious question to prompt a serious discussion, but I just found it funny and never thought about it before until I watched it again today. Any ideas how all those little symbiotes “pulled” that guy under?

[LMichelle]

I enjoyed this one. It raised more questions than it answered. That's always a good sign.
