Who wrote the episode 'Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose'?

Darin Morgan wrote the episode “Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose.” It is the fourth episode of The X-Files’ third season and originally aired on October 13, 1995.

The story follows Clyde Bruckman, played by Peter Boyle, a reluctant psychic who can foresee how people will die. FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully ask for his help investigating murders connected to psychic abilities. The episode balances bleak subject matter with unusually sharp, philosophical humor.

Morgan had previously written “Humbug,” another distinctive second-season episode. For this script, he drew inspiration from “Beyond the Sea” and deliberately combined a darker supernatural mystery with comic observations about fate, death, and human nature. Director David Nutter brought the script to the screen.

A common mix-up is crediting Chris Carter, the show’s creator, or James Wong and Glen Morgan, prominent writers and producers on The X-Files. Morgan’s episode became one of the series’ most acclaimed installments and earned him the Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Writing in a Drama Series.
