"X-Files"-ism. Refers to an arch-sinister chain-smoking character who turns up on the show on a regular basis to stoke the fires of viewer paranoia. I believe he actually turns out to be the trigger man in the Kennedy assassination, but I'm not sure. As conspiracy mongering goes, this subplot is pretty tedious stuff. Carl

Actually Cancer Man is credited w/assasinations of both JFK and MLK, as a younger man, in the series.

These things aside, for me the subplot (alien plans to colonize Earth) is the most interesting part of the series. The 'creature feature' episodes less so.
