This episode not only provides an insight into the mind of the character known as the "Cigarette Smoking Man" but it also allows us to better understand the Shadow government and their purpose. While the character has become popular for his secretive ways and the fact that he keeps the x files both sinister and interesting, this episode brings back his human aspects and at times suggests that he should be the subject of pity (particularly the sequence involving the assassination of Martin Luther King and the following scene at Christmas). I found this episode to be both depressing and uplifting at times, ultimately leaving me very satisfied with the eventual outcome of the episode.
