Ooh, I love Eureka. Definitely worth checking out, in my opinion.

I'll check it out! I've only seen one full episode and bits and pieces of others. Do I need to have backstory to understand what's going on, or can I just start with the new season?

It's probably not strictly necessary to have the backstory since most of the episodes have independent plots, but it would make it easier to get the relationships between the characters.

I'll definitely check it out. I'll need a couple of summer fandoms!

Sleep aids: If I need to get knocked out, I just take a benadryl, 'cause my allergies are crap enough that it helps there too. Half the OTC sleeping pills are just that plus some vitamins anyway. One of my insomniac friends swears by melatonin, but I've never tried it. (And insert standard not-a-doctor disclaimer here.)

Thanks! I've always been opposed to using sleeping pills, but my insomnia isn't getting any better.

And I love your icon. That episode just wins on so many levels.
