* HollywoodPsych: Carter likens having to live with Jolinar's memories to having schizophrenia, explaining it to Martouf as "like having a split personality, two people in one body." Though it's a common misconception, this is not what schizophrenia is at all; she's actually thinking of [[SplitPersonality Dissociative Identity Disorder]], a completely separate condition that may not even exist.

!!"The Tok'ra: Part 1'' provides examples of the following tropes:
* AFatherToHisMen: Hammond demonstrates this when he comforts Carter over he father's deteriorating health and offers her compassionate leave.
* BerserkButton: Calling the any of the Tok'ra a "Goa'uld" is guaranteed to piss them off.
* {{Bizarrchitecture}}: The Tok'ra can apparently "grow" underground tunnels made out of crystals.
* ContinuityNod: Daniel says that [[Recap/StargateSG1S2E5Need he can vouch for the negative effects of the sarcophagus]] when the Tok'ra explain why they don't use it.
* EternalLove: Jolinar and Martouf/Lantash apparently had this, having been together for a hundred years. Carter says that she can't even comprehend it, given that they were in love for longer than she has been alive.
* GenerationXerox: Hammond tells Carter that she is more like her father than she would like to admit.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: At the end of the episode, the Tok'ra reject the team's request for an alliance but refuse to let them go as they now know too much about how the Tok'ra operate. Notably, they don't intend to kill the team, but keep them prisoner until the time comes for them to move their base.
* HeroicHost: When Daniel asks why anyone would ever willingly volunteer to become a host, Yosuf explains that they are given increased strength, knowledge and an extended lifespan, something that many see as worth having to time-share your body with another being.
* HollywoodPsych: Carter likens having to live with Jolinar's memories to having schizophrenia, explaining it to Martouf as "like having a split personality, two people in one body." Though it's a common misconception, this is not what schizophrenia is at all; she's actually thinking of [[SplitPersonality Dissociative Identity Disorder]], a completely separate condition that may not even exist.
* InsistentTerminology: The Tok'ra do not take kindly to being called Goa'uld, although they're technically the same species.
* LaResistance: The Tok'ra are a largely underground movement that oppose the system lords; their name literally means "against Ra".
* MexicanStandoff: Between SG-1 and the Tok'ra at the beginning of the episode, when they first arrive on the planet.
* MomentKiller: Daniel interrupts an intimate moment between Carter and Martouf, in a CallBack to [[Recap/StargateSG1S1E16Enigma "Enigma"]] where he did much the same thing with Carter and Narim.
* NiceGuy: Martouf is by far the most approachable of the Tok'ra, the rest of whom seem to veer into GoodIsNotNice territory.
* NoBiologicalSex: It's explained that the symbiotes themselves are without gender, though many adopt that of the hosts they possess and have a preference for hosts of a particular gender.
* PsychicDreamsForEveryone: Carter finds out the location of the Tok'ra base through a dream she has at the beginning of the episode. Justified, as it's already been established that she retains at least some of Jolinar's memories.
* Really700YearsOld: The Tok'ra are a milder version of this than the Goa'uld since they don't use the sarcophagus, but the presence of the symbiote alone can still double the natural lifespan of the host.
* ShipTease: Between Carter and Martouf, though it's unclear how much of this is due to the remnants of Jolinar.
* SymbioticPossession: The Tok'ra claim that they do not take unwilling hosts and that human and symbiote share equal control over the body, allowing for a "truly symbiotic relationship."
* TrustPassword: Carter mentioning Jolinar by name when the Tok'ra have the team at gunpoint is at least enough for them to lower their weapons.
