* The Cheyenne government’s army breaks up the fighting between Jericho and New Bern, but we can still look forward to some postwar scores being settled secretly.
* Cheyenne will work to bring water and power back to Jericho.
* Titus Welliver, who played Col. Robert Hoffman in the first season finale, was unavailable to reprise the role for the new season.
* Most of 2.1 takes place a good while after all the battle with new Bern.
* Stanley and Mimi get engaged.
* Rob Hawkins and Jake Green go on a mission to save the world.
* Sprague Grayden will be back as schoolteacher/fix-it girl Heather Lisinski.
* Gerald McRaney is not expected to appear in any flashbacks during the seven hours.
* The seven hours begin shooting Monday and should be wrapped by September.
* Heather will return to Jericho find Jake and Emily coupled up.
* Heather will get another potential romantic interest, but there will still be some "pull" between Heather and Jake.
* Had the show received a bigger second-season order, a big part of the action would have been set in New York. As it is, the stories will again be largely confined to the title municipality.
This would have been a pretty elaborate ploy to make you click on a Harry Potter spoiler.

It's really hard to be accurate with this post since the search function is absent. BUT, why do I see so many OGAME threads and chat - more so than something like, ET:QW?
Or... World in Conflict?
In fact, I haven't heard anything from you guys about ET:QW for awhile. Those threads are getting no love... did the beta turn people off? I haven't played it since latest patch, I have been playing World in Conflict.
Also... World in Conflict rocks and I am not a RTS fan at all.

Not terribly surprised, seeing as how SH was received. Gans has moved onto doing the Onimusha movie and Avary has co written Beowulf, left the Driver adaptation, and is moving onto getting The Nocturnals ( http://www.nocturnals.com/ ) onto film.
Woulda been cool to see them give it another shot. Wonder who'll end up writing and directing the second one.

Can anyone recommend a nice electric shaver that works in the shower? I've been shaving in the shower with my mach 3, but I'd like to try going electric again. I want something for a quick and decent. With the mach3 razer I generally only shave every 3-5 days since I feel its just a pain, and expensive.

It wouldn't be a problem because I don't use word with the letter z in them a lot, and I could probably learn to avoid them entirely, but it would cripple my navigation of threads in the shack.

Over the last five weeks, I've developed an entire e-Commerce system that supports multiple currencies with daily exchange rate updates from the New York Fed, individual fulfillment workflows per product, a relatively decent hookup with Microsoft Dynamics, and a fully auditable, fault-tolerant infrastructure...by myself. Tomorrow is the final signoff with a Thursday launch.
The games industry may have worked me to the bone from time to time, but god damn...at least I was worked to the bone alongside someone else.

Hahahahaha...I remember this one:
[Reading from his book, "Jimmy James: Macho Business Donkey Wrestler," translated to Japanese and back again]
Jimmy: I had a small house of brokerage on Wall Street. Many days no business comes to my hut. Jimmy has fear? A thousand times no. I never doubted myself for a minute, for I knew that my monkey-strong bowels were girded with strength like the loins of a dragon ribboned with fat and the opulence of buffalo...
[pauses while turning page]
Jimmy: dung.
This still cracks me up.
