Sin Emergence First Impressions

Oh -- goodness -- what -- is -- going -- on?

I think that about sums it up -- I'll retry it when I'm more awake, I guess. Not to spoil it too much, but you wake up on an operating table, looking up at a woman who would make Pamela Anderson blush and a man with a "dark soul" patch, to bring in some Oblivion, who then proceeds to curse at you.

I recall Alias from earlier this evening, they finally shot Gina Torres to death -- except she's now played by Jennifer Garner, although, I suppose, they shot Michael Vartan to death and he's still alive, so that's no telling anything, and Sark is back. What? Why haven't they shot him yet?

Back to Emergence: When is a uniform not a uniform? When you're playing a video game! So your minx of a 'rookie' partner springs you from prison, and the bad guy with the soul patch, who had threatened to do you in a little earlier, gets the heebie-jeebies with the unwarranted breaking and entering, and makes like a tree and 'leaves', if I could, rather than pumping your partner full of lead, which, presumably, would be possible, given that she's only one person breaking into a super-secret protected facility.

You then get into her car, as you flash inbetween some rather inappropriate scenes of Pamela Anderson's evil twin and your equally inappropriate partner, only to be thrown onto some docks with absolutely no clue as to what's going on, to then have your meeting with the dude on the docks thrown into chaos by armed gunmen.

It was at that point, thoroughly confused, lacking any sort of direction or helpful introduction to what the hell is going on in this screwed up world, that I decided to call it quits for the evening... well, I'm due for more confusion than a foreign film at the same price :-) Can't complain...
