Realistically Tp4 would totes be ok slaving as a Jaffa if it meant space travel.

No problems living under the system lords whatsoever..


Ur thoughts ?

Only if the deal came with an out every 10 years. The parasite is going to improve your life by maximizing your body, so I'd like an option every decade to be able to bail and live the rest of my life as me picking up wherever it left off. The brain slug can just then find another host, like a horse molting it's shell when it gets too large for its old barn.

Well, you're in luck, cuz as a Jaffa, you're basically all you, and just the incubator for the Goa'uld Symbiote. 

You still gotta do slave stuff, but it's no different than the life we lead now as slaves under the oligarchy, only it's in space and way cooler.

It's a good deal for the jaffa, but their numbers would be small compared to the number of goa-uld. That's a plot hole which is often overlooked. so maybe one in 10,000 would carry a snake, either in their belly like a jaffa or the head as a symbiote. Increasing the ranks of the goa-uld will just cause infighting and civil war.

[Findecanor]

The Goa'uld is a feudal society, with survival of the fittest as their ideal. The Goa-uld would probably let the symbiotes fight between themselves to find which ones were "worthy" of inhabiting a human host.

This ideal is reflected also in how the Jaffa are selected: through combat to the death between recruits.

As show-Lore that's fine, but realistically, given their technology, it doesn't even make sense to keep vanilla-humans as hosts.

The Very Obvious thing they'd pursue is Nirrti's research into enhanced hosts, and their capacity would grow exponentially from there.

Watching Atlantis now,

If the Wraith have teleportation tech,  why not just clone the transport buffer, and make infinite meals, why bother with live humans, they're only limiting their own growth.

[gipetto]

i think you're confusing stargate with star-trek tech. stargate only allowed biological cloning, and that one trek episode where riker got doubled was due to an atmospheric reflection or something. it was a freak accident and not advisable to retry due to signal degradation.

Well they specifically talked about transport-buffers when Teal'c got stuck in an episode.

And even if we have degradation from buffer copies, it would be slight, and they don't need to be fully functional humans, just enough life-force to absorb by the Wraith.

The Asgard and Human race may have qualms about using the transport tech in this way, but Certainly the wraith wouldn't

[Findecanor]

Bah. The "buffer" was just technobabble. I doubt writers know themselves what things are supposed to mean even half the time.

But to do a replicator, you would need to feed it matter and very large amounts of energy.
In Star Trek, unlike transporters which send both matter and energy, the replicators create only matter (albeit hot or cold). They might be related, but they are not the same type of tech. Also, both are driven by some future type of nuclear super-reactor that runs on the fictional "Dilithium".
The Stargate universe's star gates don't need much energy. They are based on wormholes, and the control circuitry could run on batteries. The Asgard have transporters and replicators though.

Deez shows always have super attractive female scientists..

Tp4 has met all of 0 such AFK figures even remotely approaching the fiction.

<spent alotta time round engineering departments, nevr saw ne>

[gipetto]

I work on a farm and every female vet i've met has been extremely attractive. they're fit from physical labour and have down to earth personalities from dealing with mortality so often. scientists who work out of a chair tend to be especially corpulent though.

[Findecanor]

I have met many women who have studied or worked in tech, maths and science, and who were way more attractive than Dr Weir. It's not unreasonable.
