In the X-files, there is an episode that totally deals with The Cigarette Smoking Man, that starts with him spying on a man with a rifle. anyway, it reveals that he has been trying to become a published author, but the only magazines that publish his work are XXX mags and they edit them to shreds. that is a tribute to Kilgore Trout, from Kurt Vonnegut's novels... Kilgore Trout always wrote stories and they usually only got accepted by sleazy mags. dontcha love trivia?
I remember the Kilgore Trout story but Ill have to go back through my DVD collection and see that episode. Do you know what season it was?
Series 4, Musings of a Cigerette Smoking Man. Much better episode then almost all of the actual conspiracy stuff from that year, even if allot (perhaps all) of it is false.
That was a great epiosde. I loved his "box of chocolate" monologue. Man I miss the X-Files. I hope the new movie is good.
