Trivia:
The police photographer who knows when people will die is named Alfred Fellig. He was named after Usher "Arthur" Fellig, better known as "Weegee", a police photographer who became notorious in the 1930s and 1940s for taking gruesome crime scene photos. Like the eponymous character in "Tithonus", Weegee owned a police scanner, which often enabled him to get to crime scenes before the police. Unlike the X Files character, Weegee was not really psychic, although police gave him his nickname (a variation of "oujia") after joking that he was.

An FBI agent from the New York City field office has an X-File: Alfred Fellig (Geoffrey Lewis), a photographer who gets to the scene - BEFORE the crime! With Mulder in hot water with Deputy Director Kirsh, Scully is sent alone to NYC to investigate the mystery. Meanwhile Mulder discovers that Mr. Fellig has been taking photographs of death for a LONG time!
This is one of the best dark episodes of season 6. It's very well done and enjoyable - I've liked Geoffrey Lewis since "The Wind and the Lion", and he turns in a fine performance.
Much of season 6 is self-parodic or derivative. This episode is a classic, and the equal of the best stuff from the Vancouver period.
