If we carry on, we find out that Homer is also Burns' grandmother's sister-in-law (who is also her second cousin)'s grandmother's brother's fourth great-grandson. Mr. Burns' investment portfolio includes long-defunct shares in "Confederated Slave Holdings, Trans-Atlantic Zeppelin, Amalgamated Spats, Congreve's Inflammable Powders, U.S. Hay", and an "up-and-coming Baltimore Opera Hat Company". [4] Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Not in the actual episode, but the original script ended with the alien's true identity unrevealed, implying Homer really did encounter one. Donkey Kong makes an appearance at the Noiseland Arcade, which turns out to be a bust. He ends up throwing a barrel at the Wise Guy, complete with sound effects.

Mr. Burns' great-great-grandmother's sister-in-law's brother's fourth great-grandson is Homer Simpson.

Zeeblezorp Leonard Nimoy, who would later become almost a regular guest, opens the episode with an introduction to this mystery show, telling us the story that happened to a certain bald guy from Springfield. His other middle name, Plantagenet, was the family name of a branch of the British Royal family in the 1300s. Supposedly, the last Plantagenet was King Richard III who was killed in battle by Henry Tudor. This implies that Mr. Burns is a secret descendant of King Richard.In one possible future, eight years from the present, he was a shut-in who sponsored a Yale scholarship as punishment for stealing Christmas. He kept diamonds to have them changed into Earth's most precious mineral of the age: coal. His home was also guarded by a large group of flying unicorn-clam creatures (uni-clams). [113] Chris Knight, "Keeping the spring in Springfield: The Simpsons still going strong in Season Eight", National Post, August 19, 2006, pg. TO.26. In " The Burns and the Bees", it is suggested that Burns is Austro-Hungarian and a Monarchist since he sings the Austria-Hungary Anthem. Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C, at the FBI Division of Paranormal Activities, agents Mulder and Scully discover a report in the Springfield Shopper about Homer's encounter. Mulder insists on going to Springfield to investigate, but Scully reminds him of a shipment of drugs and illegal weapons coming into New Jersey later that night. "I hardly think the FBI is concerned with matters like that," Mulder replies, and the two agents leave for Springfield.

One major connection between Mr. Burns' vocal inspirations Lionel Barrymore and Ronald Reagan was their appearance in the 1941 MGM remake of The Bad Man, which saw Reagan play the hero against a Pancho Villa-like Mexican bandit. https://worldhistoryproject.org/1941/3/28/ronald-reagan-appears-as-gilbert-gil-jones-in-the-bad-man This was released eight years before Barrymore's death and years before Reagan, who was once a staunch New Deal Democrat, shifted towards the right wing in the 1950s. Despite Reagan's more liberal political views at the time, the film appealed to conservatives who embraced the Mexican bandit stereotype. Hello. I'm Leonard Nimoy. The following tale of alien encounters is true. And by true, I mean false. It's all lies. But they're entertaining lies. And in the end, isn't that the real truth? The answer is: No." ― Leonard Nimoy "The Springfield Files" Framing: Burns had Smithers edit footage of his Attempted Treason (above) by putting Homer in his place; this resulted in Homer being arrested and sent to prison.Burns used to pay his employees a salary less than a worker in the United States can normally earn (which is illegal), but the only employee Burns pays a normal salary is Smithers. This attitude entitles Burns to deduct his employees' wages as much as he likes, with Smithers being the only exception. https://web.archive.org/web/20080507052534/http://www.cineplex.com/Movies/FamousNews/FamousMagazine/July%202007.aspx?FamousArticles=4395

Compressed Vice: The fact that Mr. Burns glows in the dark thanks to decades of exposure to the plant's toxic wastes is never brought up again. For that matter, neither are his weekly treatments.Hit & Run: In " Bart Gets Hit by a Car", Mr. Burns hit Bart, yet drove off after Smithers suggested to take him to the hospital. Crowd Song: At the end, the town spontaneously sang "Good Morning, Starshine" together. Nimoy, Mulder, Scully and Chewbacca joined in as well. Affectionate Parody: Of The X-Files. Both Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny Special Guest-starred in the roles of their famous characters.

Leonard Nimoy also guest-starred for the second time, after first appearing in " Marge vs. the Monorail". The authors of the book I Can't Believe It's a Bigger and Better Updated Unofficial Simpsons Guide, Warren Martyn and Adrian Wood, said that it was "a very clever episode, with the line-up one of the best visual gags in ages".
