- Alternative Joke Interpretation: Mulder's Homer Simpson reference. Is he referencing Homer as a famous TV character, or is he referencing him as a person he's actually met?
- Complete Monster: Simon Gates is a wealthy and well-respected businessman who plots to bring about Armageddon after a trip to Jerusalem. To do this, he kills 11 false prophets, taking sadistic pleasure killing his recent one by pinning him to a wall and choking him to death. Targeting a boy he believes to be a true prophet, Gates stalks the boy and kills his guardian angel, Owen Jarvis, followed by causing a car crash that kills the boy's mother. After successfully kidnapping him, Gates uses the boy as a meat shield when Agent Scully shows up and attempts to shred the boy and himself in a paper thresher to bring about the end of the world. Sadistic and dangerously delusional, Gates sought to bring about a "new age", which he described as "The sun will turn into darkness and the moon will turn into blood".
- Hilarious in Hindsight: Mulder comments that the goofy-looking police sketch of the suspect that kidnapped Kevin looks like "Homer Simpson's evil twin". Someone who Mulder and Scully will eventually meet.
