If Deckard is a replicant...
and it's assumed that naturally he would be one, since replicants do all the unsavory, dangerous jobs and are essentially "disposable", then wouldn't it make sense for all Blade Runners to be replicants?

And if so, wouldn't it be safe to assume that Holden is a replicant as well?

Then why was Holden put on life support after his critical injury?

I, personally, think the question of Deckard's humanness is left entirely up to the individual viewer to decide. Enough "clues" are sprinkled either way. The story works a lot better for me, though, if Deckard is human.

God, I love this movie. Of all the films I've seen over the last 26 years, this is the one that haunts me continually.

2. Everytime you suggest that Deckard is a replicant...
God creates another Cylon.

3. Cats are Replicants
Remorseless killing machines that they are.



Don't fall for the 'I'm soooooo cute' routine. It's a ruse to lull you into complacency.

Ignore this warning at your peril.
