why the need for the sarcofagus?

[tedpon]

sorry bout the spelling here,. and i hope im in the right place,..im wondering why the gou,ald need the SARCOFFAGUS [sorry], when the snake can heal pretty much anything? its been said that the coffin with too much use can change a person and turn them evil and arrogant,.as an explaination as to how the gou,ald became so agressive,[from an episode sg1],.cheers,tedpon.

goa'uld can only heal so much. And the sarcophagus works on the host too. they've said that the tok'ra can only stay in a singular host around 400 years. that's without use of the sarcophagus. but apophis' host was over 3000 years old. the sarc had been keeping the host healthy, thus meaning that the snake didn't have to do it and could concentrate only on keeping itself healthy

[Teal'auc]

Not to mention the fact that the symbiote cannot revive someone who's been dead. Sarcophagus can.

Which can lead to inimaginable torture possibilities--> 6x06 Abyss.

Ya everyone else already has gotten it down. The sarcoughagus heals both symbiote and host and does so much more effeciently and powerfully then say just the symbiote does. plus the Goa'uld use it when they are healthy too in order to boost their day to day well being.

And it is great for bringing back a favored enemy to keep torturing/killing him over and over... like Socar did with Apophis.

Don't forget its also a way to keep someone loving you or just with you...ex. Daniel in Need

One question I know it can cause addiction when used often in one day, so why was O'Neill not addicted to it at the end of The Abyss?

[garhkal]

I think if it is used just to keep one healthy like daniel did in Need, that is where the addiction comes in. BUT if used to continually heal then the addiction does not seep in.

[Puddle-Jumper]

Why do people who are healthy do heroin? Cos it makes them feel better, that episode with Danial and that princess chick made it pretty clear that the sarcophagus is addictive, so perhaps they started to make themselves feel better but are now addicted, like me and cigarettes?
