Storyline

After being saved by a group of free female Jaffa, SG-1 is taken to the females' homeworld to meet their leader, Ishta. Ishta proposes an alliance between her all-female rebel group, Haktil, and the Tau'ri. The Tau'ri offer her Tritonin to supplant their practice of taking the symbiotes from defeated Jaffa in the service of the Goa'uld. However, since Tritonin has only had two test subjects, Teal'c and Bra'tac, they are cautious to spread it among their ranks.

The Female Jaffa

The SG-1 travels to a planet to meet a group of rebel Jaffa; out of the blue, they are attacked by an army of Jaffa and saved by a group of female Jaffa. They invite the SG-1 to travel to their plane to meet their leader, Ishta. She proposes an alliance between her rebel group and the Earthlings. Ishta explains that they have problem to take symbiotes since they need to defeat Jaffa and the SG-1 offers Tritonin as an alternative method for them. Four women volunteer to travel to the SGC as subject to experiment Tritoninn. But the outraged Neith does not accept the use of Tritonin jeopardizing the life of her teenage sister Nesa.

"Birthright" is another episode with a Jaffa group. The difference this time is the gender, since it is a female group of warriors. However the great attraction is the gorgeous Jolene "T'Pol" Blalock in the role of the leader of the female warriors. My vote is six.
