   Ahhh. You haven't lived until you've watched 'Field Trip' while actually   
   tripping!   
      
   As I recently mentioned, I bought the first 4 seasons on DVD just a short   
   time ago and have been reliving most of the classics. The first showing of   
   the movie is in only a few hours, so I won't have time to hook up my old VCR   
   and watch my VHS copies of the later seasons. But that's okay. If the movie   
   is supposed to be a MOTW-type thing, it might be better not to stuff my   
   brain with all that late-period mytharc stuff immediately before I watch it.   
   It could be more fun going into it relatively cold.   
      
   I never did really care for the mytharc after about S6. I love Doggett, like   
   Reyes a lot more than probably most other people do, and I think the   
   standalone episodes were actually somewhat reinvigorated with a new energy   
   by DD's departure -- it had gotten to the point where the fact that he   
   obviously didn't want to be there was making watching him less fun. But the   
   mytharc was never really the same after the Syndicate got burned in 'One   
   Son'. (Although the 'Biogenesis' three-parter wasn't bad.) Especially with   
   all that pregnancy and romance and little mewling human larva stuff that it   
   was saddled with. My absolute favourite eps from the first 5 to 6 seasons   
   are mostly mytharc, but from S6 on I really much prefer the standalones.
