From 'Penny Dreadful' to 'Mad Men,' we figure out what's really in the cards.
Tarot cards are a quick and easy way for a story to foreshadow future events, dig deeper into a character’s psyche, or just to spook the audience. Reading cards can be a fun and revealing exercise, but movie and TV readings are often just plain off the mark. The most common example of this is the Death card: it’s usually pulled to freak a character out, and interpreted as a bad omen. But Death in a Tarot deck really indicates big, transformational change.
My So-Called Life On My So-Called Life, Rayanne’s mom Amber establishes herself as "the cool mom" with a familial tarot reading. She certainly takes a lot of liberties based on what she already knows of Angela’s home life. But she’s working with a Jungian Tarot deck, so maybe it’s a given that her reading would be a bit more psychological.
Wine Country Who wouldn’t want their cards read by Cherry Jones? And her character in Wine Country is pretty legit. All of her individual readings are fairly accurate -- bonus points for not misrepresenting Death . But things get a little dicey when she does the group reading. She lays out a three card spread, which can mean a lot of things . The cards are the Seven of Cups, Four of Wands, and Temperance.
Her other readings are less accurate. The prediction of "a journey" and "taking care of someone" who "could be hurt" might fit Spencer’s story, but they don’t necessarily suit any of those cards. But things really fall apart when the reader flips over the card in the "future” position. It’s Death, with a message from A written on it: "KISS BYE BYE TO YOUR BFF.
Bond later ferrets out a mole by a message delivered in the form of the Queen of Cups reversed, which he identifies as "a deceitful, perverse woman, a liar, a cheat." The card can indeed be a disloyal woman, so he gets a point there. Unfortunately, we have to subtract a thousand points for tricking Solitaire into sleeping with him with a stacked Lovers deck. Even if she’d already seen it in her own cards, it was a pretty slimy move.
