I'm back! Last Saturday, I attended the Montreal Comic Con with a friend of mine. I left for Canada on Friday and I came back last Wednesday. This was my first trip across the Atlantic Ocean, and my first vacation abroad in several years. First things first, Montreal is a beautiful city that looks very European which helped me a great deal with my homesickness. My friend and I stayed there for four days, and after the Con, all we did was roam the city, see the sights, and eat poutiné.

It started on July 7th, when Fox dared us all to watch one episode a day, leading up the big premiere in January. The response has been massive, with fans publishing their fanart on Facebook and tweeting about the upcoming episodes. I myself am not participating, because I've re-watched the first seven seasons a few years ago with my brother, and then binge-watched the last two sometime later. In fact, it took me over a decade after the show was cancelled to watch seasons eight and nine. As you may remember, David Duchovny left the show after season seven, and would only have a recurring role in season eight. He was absent throughout the whole ninth season, appearing only in the not-so-grand finale, as well as directing one of the episodes. Duchonvy's departure forever changed the show. It left ...
