Only one thing left to do, Bruce; we should all sit in a circle and sing Kumbaya Laughing

Come to think of it, I don't know the melody either.

Heck, I'll just do what I did in church for years — silently mouth dirty words during the hymns and giggle when nobody noticed. Laughing

Bud,

I like the idea of Rachael and Deckard moving off earth.
Someone with Deckards past and connections should be able to get both of them off world.

My only issue is Deckard is not a replicant.

PKDick did not write him that way in the book.
Harrison Ford does not think he is. It's not really important
for the story to work.
Gaff says "It's too bad she won't live! But then again, who does?" indicating that only Rachael is a replicant.

Sometimes we dig in on unimportant things.

I believe the TOS Enterprise bridge is angled 30 deg so the
turbolift lines up with the bump on the outside of the hull.

I believe HAL was not truly alive.

I believe Han killed Greedo in cold blood.

I believe "Soylent Green" is a terrible movie, though I still watch it.

And I believe, very strongly, that Deckard is human. For me it's an important part of the film for human redemption.

This all works for me. YMMV.

Mark
