|
> This is absolutely brilliant ! It makes so much more sense than an independently evolved symbioite being compatible with human biology. This is going to be my personally preferred canon for the series.
|
|
> The mindless symbiote feeling pain in the home waters is puzzling at first, but makes sense as Baal"s after-the-fact interpretation of the symbiote memory.

|
>> I've updated that sentence slightly. I was intending it to mean that the symbiote has only animal intelligence without a host rather than being completely mindless.
|

|
|
>> ETA: Also, yes, I've absolutely accepted this as my new headcanon. :-)

|
>>> Also, regarding the very last line, why would Baal being able to possess his interrogator so easily ? Surely the Trust would take precautions, despite being portrayed as criminally negligent in canon.
|
|
>>>
|
|
>>> Any chance of expanding this into a full (fanfic) episode ?

|
|
>> The always remembered 7.9999 million years of primordial rage, fear, and hate probably has something to do with the [Always Chaotic Evil](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AlwaysChaoticEvil) nature of the Go'auld in this scenario, yes.

|
> How is saying "a Go'auld doesn't control the mind of its host" consistent with the Tok'ra, who *actually* don't control their host?
|
|
|
|
>> **u/DRMacIver** [+6] (a day later)
|
|
>>
|
|
>> My working assumption is that the Tok'Ra are all crazy and/or lying and/or engaged in an extreme degree of compartmentalization to deliberately offset the worst effects of the symbiosis. I agree it's a bit of a flaw in the theory.

>>> **u/callmebrotherg** [+1] *now posting as /u/callmesalticidae* (2 days later)
|
|
>>>
|
|
>>> IIRC the Tok'Ra inherited their Always Good natures from the Tok'Ra queen, because of the genetic memory thing, so you only need one Goa'uld to figure out a way to reduce the mental problems and then reproduce.
|
|
|
|
>>>> **u/DRMacIver** [+2] (3 days later)
|
|
>>>>
|
|
>>>> Yep, but this actually reinforces the plausibility of all three versions of the theory - all you need is one Goa'uld to go crazy / decide to lie / compartmentalize and all their descendants are likely to follow suit.
