#he couldn't even resist the peer pressure to start smoking. bruh

so me and my friend are onto season 4 of X-files now and we got to the csm-centric episode, right. and when he put the sniper rifle up from the window at the start I was like "whoa there. jfk assassination much?"-- and then the flashback starts and wouldn't you fucking know it, csm was the one who killed jfk??

this made me joke about how "what is he, the dark version of forrest gump or something? lmao" (ie. being present at a bunch of historical happenings), and then it seems like I was right because after that, he killed martin luther king too... aND TH E N towards the end, they make a fuckin forrest gump reference???

guys I think I'm finally becoming psychic

#x files #anyway good season so far #'the field where I died' was another good one #this ep was fun too ngl cause I'm afraid I love to hate this guy #I love how it shows how /weak/ csm actually is #seems like he just gets swept up in shit all 'okay I guess I'm doing this now (hashtag powertrip)' #dude has all the agency over a bunch of others but he has no agency over himself #he couldn't even resist the peer pressure to start smoking. bruh #and he couldn't even follow through with it when he tried to /stop/ smoking either #and then when he thought he was gonna get a big break as an author and was like 'fuck yeah I'll resign from the evil job now' #..but then the editors changed the ending when publishing it so he was like 'nvm. fuck everything. violent path it is then' #that whole thing reminded me so much of john in Saw X too when he thought he'd been cured- #-so he threw away the trap-sketches he was making. guy was gonna straight up quit being jigsaw bc he thought he would get to live after all #wait a sec.... john has cancer and is a villain... csm is called 'cancerman' and is also a villain........ [connecting dots in my mind rn] #but yeah um-- back to what I was saying- this ep somehow made csm a bit less infuriating for me? #cause now we got to see that actually he doesn't have everything under control. in fact it's like he barely has a will of his own #bro has zero conviction. barely any willpower. no life. if he fails at something once- that's it. he'll quit trying forever #he's literally a loser. we love to see it #(also wtf I didn't think deep throat would be the one who argued FOR killing that alien while csm was the one who questioned it?) #(but deep throat SAID to mulder later that he regretted the things he'd done an d he helped the good guys in the end so....) #(deep throat had his redemption arc. love that guy....except for when he killed the alien. that wasn't cool)
