Well: he concludes that the Stargate device, like other present day fictional constructs such as the Bosnian "pyramids," has taken on a life of its own.
I think he slightly overdoes the point about:

Do such fictional representations (perhaps Star Wars and the Jedi religion might be included) indicate that humankind is losing interest in established religion, and would prefer the "holistic techno-religiosity of the Preastronautic worldview?" Were, and are, Blavatsky, Lovecraft, Sitchin, von Daniken, Bauval and Emmerich, responsible for actually inspiring such concepts - or were they, and are they, simply reacting to contemporary currents of thought and ideas?
One slightly mundane problem I always found with the Stargate was that it never actually led anywhere that I would consider as living up to the shimmering promise of the Stargate itself - deserts in Arizona and forests in British Columbia having to do service for supposed otherworldly locations.

I think he slightly overdoes the point about:
At least in the film, the SG1 team, Daniel Jackson and co., simply go on pursuing their own lives, albeit on a planet in another part of the cosmos/universe. (In the series, admittedly, Jackson "ascends" [1:40] [a transformation signified by him wearing a sort of light fawn loose-knit jumper for several episodes], and then "descends" again: but he doesn't do so via the Stargate itself.)Quote
The gate is a threshold whose crossing signifies transformation and the end of one life before the beginning of another.
