"Pilot" was the original series pilot for The X-Files science-fiction television series created by Chris Carter. The episode marks the first appearance of the Cigarette Smoking Man; although he has no lines his ominous background prescence is established. Several other characters who will later return, including Division Chief Scott Blevins, Theresa Nemman, Detective Miles, Billy Miles, and Dr. Heitz Werber also appear for the first time. The events of the episode are revisited in the seventh-season finale, "Requiem".
