Cigarette Smoking Man - Tumblr Posts

I think it’s the funniest thing that in the pilot of the X-Files, cigarette smoking man and his posse really thought that sending in Scully, a woman of science, would be their own Trojan Horse and a way to take Mulder out, only for Scully to see the plan all along and join Mulder’s side, thus creating a chain and effect lasting over a course of years to what would inevitably be the higher ups own downfall.

I never not laugh now at this thought when watching the pilot, because they really did that.

They shot themselves.

Contrary to canon, Cigarette Smoking Man's first kill was pretty rough to deal with.
