Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose

3.04 Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose 10.13.94

MIDNIGHT INQUISITOR:
I Foresee! The Stupendous Yappi's Foreseeable Futures: I foresee a rocky romantic affair between superstar Madonna and superwitness Kato Kaelin. I foresee author J.D. Salinger finally publishing a new novel and hitting the talk show circuit to promote it. I foresee the revelation that not Elvis but Buddy Holly is still alive, having faked his own death so many years ago. Holly will not only reemerge, but will also regroup with the Crickets, and they will headline in next year's Lollapollooza (I think that's close).[There is also a photo of Buddy Holly in this section]
Other headlines:
"How to Stay Young Forever,""Midnight Inquisitor's Exclusive: Screen Star Weds Dog Boy!"

Visual Documentation.

The tarot deck used in this episode is the Tarot of the Witches, not to be confused with the Witches Tarot. This information was brought to you by Lady Krycek.

"However, the interesting part is that the card Scully holds up, the Page of Cups, does not exist. They must have printed it especially for the episode. There are four face cards to this deck under the suit of cups: King, Queen, Knight and Valet. The Valet of Cups, as well as all the other suits of Cups, are in blue uniforms, not red, like the one in the episode."
