I love expanding these plot-bunnies, especially when I have other people to bounce ideas off of. Sadly I have no fannish friends in my immediate geography.
The funny thing about the other conspiracy theorists is that they're not completely wrong. These are high-powered people having behind the scenes discussions and making huge decisions. It's just not done with any intentional mysticism or ritual.
Of course, now they're trying to track down the Stargate by getting into the mind of a guy through his journals. This is difficult enough when the person is a regular human of finite experience and resources. It is quite a bit more difficult when the guy is constantly making cryptic notes about people and events which may or may not be documented in any other history AND switching from language to language. Jack finally decides to go ahead and drink the beer with the rational that it's helping him get in the mindset of the other people who like it.
And Methos has probably programmed his ship on the moon to reply sarcastically to anyone trying to board it. Possibly using movie quotes. So the SGC still isn't entirely sure that it's not an artificial intelligence that's addicted to Earth TV. But it certainly doesn't appear to be doing any harm and you can't just kill off a potential new species!
