Malek, aren't Goa'uld queens also "sentient beings"?
Not according to what we know up until this point. We have no idea how sentient they are outside of their hosts, although Egeria does say she was making informed choices as to what she passed down to her offspring. So my theory might be wrong. But before this, no, we never got the impression that a non-blended Goa'uld is actually sentient. They are 'snakes/fish/worms' living in pools.
Of course, you know, Malek is not very consistent there, because he does consider a Tok'ra queen as more deserving, but then, well, so do the humans. It's not like they don't shoot Goa'uld larvae when they see them.
"This was not a malicious act." "Nor was mine, Major Carter." Like Sam, I'm not sure what Egeria means.
I think she means that she was making tretonin not-perfect and thus making the people depend on her even though she knew she was dying. It was self-preservation for her and as above, I am not sure how capable of rational thought a Goa'uld with a brain the size of a needle pin would be.
