Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man is about delving into the life of the shadowy figure that is the Cancer Man.
It's crazy to think that you can just exclude the main characters and have an entire episode based around a supporting character of the show and have such success. Not to mention that Chris Owens, who later plays Agent Spender, who isn't a memorable character, absolutely shines in this role as the young Cancer Man. The historical look back and scenes involving young CSM, which include the assassinations of JFK and Martin Luther King are without a doubt the highlight of the episode. The cinematography superb, as well as the writing.
General Francis: There are extraordinary men... those who must identify... comprehend, and ultimately shoulder the responsibility for not only their own existence, but their country's, and the world's as well. Your father, Captain... believed his country should look to another form of government, and he took control of that belief. So, in that respect, we view him as an extraordinary man. And we believe... we know, Captain... that it runs in the family.
