Shows the true color of the Tok'ra. How greedy and selfish they can be, and how their Goa'uldish acts can come out cause of something simple. I give it a 8 out of 10.

I'll be argumentative here even though the Tok'ra aren't on my top ten list of people to trust.
Personally I think they have a valid reason for wondering about the Tau'ri and their determination to overthrow the Goa'uld. The Tau'ri want technology and help, but as was pointed out, aren't willing to trust them enough to offer what they really need which are hosts. Granted I can't imagine many people wanting to become one, but there are, as was found out with Jacob, other alternatives which if it wasn't for Jacob they wouldn't even have considered.

These people have been fighting the Goa'uld a lot longer than we have and sometimes trust isn't an easy thing to accept when you're systematically being hunted down and killed.

Cheers,

I don't see why they can' trust us. It seems anyone who hates the Goa'uld isn't bad at all.

You mean 'my enemies enemy, is my friend'?
Kind of backfired on the US after WWII. <G>

Though they insisted on being refered to as 'Tok'ra' instead of Goa'uld, they do show the essential colours of their species, as Sean3w (?) rightly said, greedy and selfish. My example of this is the fact that however Martouf endeavoured to understand Sam, it was hardly below him to re-introduce the propect of her becomeing the new host for Selmak. Basiaclly, the mere facts that they do not take hosts forcibly and don't make use of the sarcophgus, for obvious reasons, BTW emphatically known by Daniel it seems: "I'd vouch for that", cannot diguise the facts that uderneath they, and the Goa'uld, seem just as bad as each other.

Martouf's defense

Yeah, but he quickly regretted it, and he only said that 'cos he wanted Jolinar back! and in pt 2, he's willing 2 'sacrifice' himself! He's just a smitten kitten! Yeah, I know, weak defense

Okay I don't think they are greedy and selfish. They live within their own set of rules just as we live within ours. Who's to say, whose set of rules is any better than the other?

It kind of boils down to whose viewpoint you're going to look at it from.
