Sorry dude, I'm terrible at making jokes on here. I was trying to make a bladerunner funny. You talking about memory and things you think you remembered was fantastic in this thread. Awesome pic!:thumbsup

I always imagined that the bulk of humans lived Off-World and the Earth remained as a place of refuse where people too poor or chronically ill remained to be forgotten. When Pris asks JF Sebastian why he's still on Earth he said he couldn't pass the physical because of Methuselah Syndrome. That line implies that anyone of means, like JF Sebastian, wouldn't be expected to be on Earth. I imagined the Earth was falling into disrepair while the centers of power were Off-World. That idea is loaded with pathos. I hope they don't abandon that idea.
I don't know if you're in the minority or not, I just know that I never liked it. Some of the lines were simply distractingly bad (IMO). The worst one being right after after Roy Batty's iconic death scene which derailed the perfect moment ("All he wanted was the same answers as the rest of us. Where do I come from? What're am I going?" *ughh*). I groaned but more than one person laughed in that theater.I guess I'm in the minority. I actually prefer the theatrical cut. I like the voice over, it gives it that old detective movie feel to it which is what I thought it was supposed to be, and I certainly do not like the idea of Deckard as a replicant.

I grew up with it, even in the directors cut I hear him talking in my head so it's always there one way or the other.
But that was the whole point of the first movie. Replicants aged at an accelerated rate due to their enhanced abilities.Don't think a replicant would age.
So why is Deckard pointing a gun at another Blade Runner if he doesn't think it's possible the agent is coming after him?
And K indicating that "things were simpler then," might imply that all Blade Runners are now replicants (Deckard may have been the first) tasked with hunting down illegal replicants.
As a dubious replicant, is Deckard hiding from Blade Runners?
The opening monologue also states that if replicants are a benefit, they aren't a Blade Runner's problem. But if they're a hazard...
Just thinking out loud.
Deckard could still be in hiding for making off with illegal Tyrell property ie. Rachel. I do agree tho' that an aging Deck is no proof of humanity. Also thinking out loud, Hampton Fancher pretty much hated the idea of Deckard being a replicant, IIRC. I doubt he would write that into the new script unless Ridley was insistent on it,
