The Tok’ra of SG1

↳ Requested by @nonpossumplurascribere

The Tok’ra really were as arrogant as the Goa’uld in many respects. I found them fascinating, and actually calling them arrogant is probably arrogant in itself because I can see it from their point of view. I think it would have been interesting if they had done an episode or even a mini-series from the point of view of a race like the Tok’ra. We are always the heroes in our own stories but what do the other aliens think of the Tau’ri?

I really liked Jacob/Selmak and cheered everytime he was on screen. The other Tok’ra not so much, I wasn’t fond of Martouf but I did actually have respect for Malek. They are extremely interesting regardless and their outfits definitely improved in later seasons.
