Continuity mistake: When Homer is eating a krusty burger you can see crumbs on his face, but in the next shot of him talking the crumbs have vanished.

Other mistake: At the end of Marge's video message to Homer, Marge explains she taped the message over their wedding video. The video then shows the remainder of Homer and Marge's wedding. This is inconsistent with The Simpsons' Season 3 episode "I Married Marge" and Season 8's "A Milhouse Divided," which show Homer and Marge marrying at a chapel on the state line and later Homer and Marge alone eating cake together in a parking lot.

Continuity mistake: When Homer and Bart are trying to outrun the crack in the dome, they are falling towards the damaged "P" in the Springfield sign. From their view, the top of the "P" is level with the letters "S" and "R" but when they use the bent leg of the "P" as a ramp to relaunch themselves at the dome, the top of the "P" is scrunched down almost halfway down from the other letters.

Continuity mistake: When the dome is lowered it is done so by 100s of helicopters that release the dome as Homer runs outside. The camera zooms out to show the whole dome and the helicopters have disappeared instantly. (00:26:20)

Continuity mistake: In the wide overhead shots as the crowd starts gathering at the dome edge and when Russ Cargill's image appears, note the homes on the third block at the far left side of the screen, which change when Cargill says, "Believe me it's the last thing we wanted to do."

Continuity mistake: When the Simpsons enter church they walk past Dr. Hibbert and he's wearing a solid black tie, but when Grampa has the outburst Dr. Hibbert is wearing a striped red tie. (Also, the stripes at the tie's knot are the same direction as the tie blade, though when tying the knot the stripes would be going the opposite direction).

Continuity mistake: In the first interior shot of the church, there are nine rows of pews on each side of the aisle, with Mr. Burns in the last pew on one side and Mrs. Glick in the last pew on the other side, but when Grampa starts rolling around on the floor there are eleven rows of pews, with two extra pews on both sides behind Burns and Glick. Additionally, the Reverend's wife is seated in the first pew, but just as Grampa shouts, "Trapped forever," we can see the back of an extra pew in front of Helen. (The front of the raised pulpit has vertical wood panels, and the pew is solid).

EPA official: Sir, I'm afraid you've gone mad with power.

Answer: I believe the joke is supposed to be that the way Texans speak is a language all its own.
