I have a Stargate question. About the episode Birthright, where the women are stealing symbiotes from the men they kill. They were offered the tretonin as an alternative but, after seeing it for the 3rd time I was wondering why they weren't offered the Tokra as a source as well. Aren't they always looking for hosts? I haven't seen all episodes of all seasons so I don't know if there's a cannon reason why.
I wear the cheese. It does not wear me.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
The Tok'ra don't have a queen, so there aren't any baby Tok'ra symbiotes to live inside Jaffa, and adult symbiotes can't live inside the pouch.

Ah, thanks. I'm new to the intricacies of simbiotes.

Heh. No problem. I... know way too much about Stargate continuity, considering the show's attitude toward said continuity.

Well, since I am now getting hooked on it, I will cast no aspersions about geekdom.

In a way, I don't mind this about SG1. Even though there are bits in some episodes where I know I'm missing some backstory, I can usually watch any episode out of sequence and not wind up confused as all get-out.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's made the incessant re-runs even more of a pleasure. Because it often wasn't until the third viewing I could go "Oh! That thing with Martouf!" and get the whole scenario.

Oh, no, I don't either really. I find it kind of charming. ("Whaddaya mean we're completely contradicting ourselves? Look, over there, a spaceship!") Also it's fun when they *do* bring back old things, which they do more often than one might expect. But it means that actually having a bunch of fiddly canonical detail in my head feels a little silly.

Can you give me some of the heinous examples? I'd never thought it worse than an XFiles, or something.

Oh, well, not usually so much in personal continuity - they're pretty good about that - as in practical. (Comparing anything to the X-Files is dirty pool.) Stuff like trying to make the depiction of goa'uld reproduction in Hathor line up with anything we see later, or trying to make sense of how fast goa'uld ships can go (it's going to take three months! No, wait, never mind, for the purposes of this plot it needs to take a lot less time!").
