Revisiting The X Files: S03 E04: Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose


Season 3:  Episode 4:  Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose

Another ripping episode, with Peter Boyle just brilliant in the lead role as a man with a psychic ability, but only to see how people are going to die. Each scene he is in he steals, especially when, as an insurance salesman, he tells a young couple how the husband will die in two years time in a dreadful accident. Then, when he finally is confronted by the serial killer, who asks him why he does the things he does, Clyde responds, "Don't you understand yet son? You're a psychopath!". 

Great stuff, with Mulder and Scully really being in the background for the most part of the episode. 

Rating:  The eyes of the future.  5/5.
