episode, a serial killer is on the loose, targeting fortune-tellers and tarot card readers. Peter Boyle gives a splendid performance here as Clyde Bruckman, a psychic gifted with the ability to predict people’s death, and whom FBI Agents Mulder and Scully enlist to help them catch the killer’s next victim.
Inarguably, this is one of the favourite episodes of many X-philes (fans of the show). Clever story-telling has made an otherwise simple detective drama into a wry but brilliant story. As such, the episode clearly reveals the tension between Scully’s skepticism and Mulder’s unwavering faith in matters such as psychic divination and fortune-telling.
Other People’s Daughters, episode in My So-Called Life
(first aired November 4, 1994)
Delving into the conflict of mothers versus daughters, this episode has Angela Chase (played by Claire Danes) learning tarot reading through a crash course from her best friend Rayanne’s mom.
Who exactly is mothering whom? Here, Angela realises she is a daughter to her mother, as her mother is also a child to her, and their disagreements often arise from their refusal to acknowledge this fact. Angela decides to escape her grandparent’s wedding anniversary party in favor of Rayanne’s birthday party, and there she sees firsthand her best friend’s troubled relationship with her mom.
In the end, Angela declares that each tarot card has a name, her friends and family corresponding to the characters in them: the Magician, the Fool, the Empress, etc. No card is all good or bad. We all play a role, each of us is master of our own fate.
