And ever wonder what Deckard's wife looked like? You're going to find out.

What are Gaff's true motives?

How come Chew doesn't get to work in the Tyrell building?

How did Gaff obtain the injury that has him left using a cane.

I imagine the eye lab would be a provider for other groups besides Tyrell.

Chew probably provides eyes as meat prosthetics for those who have lost their eyes. They are probably cultured using tissue extracted from the intended recipient.

Actually replacement of limbs and organs would be an interesting side benefit of the technology that allows for replicants, I would think.
Yes, I really live in Los Angeles. Srsly. And yeah, life really does imitate art here. Especially now we've got those video billboards. No spinners yet. But I suppose that's next.

How can the same computer fly the Nostromo, the Nostromo shuttle, and a Spinner all?

One of the pics on the piano?


And if I'm not mistaken, the setting of the picture is VERY similar to the one of Rachel and her mother.

Deckard's ex-wife is a rhinoceros?!?

Well, this goes in another direction, but if Tyrell's tone about the helpessness in changing the lifespan was genuine, there may be more about the technology that we need to know.

I think the whole idea of Replicant may be more show than real. What if the whole 'Off World' program wasn't what it was sold as and really just a scam to procure parts??

What if Replicants were not as sold, but like Soylent Green, were just people??

Here is a more important question though:

Why was the interior of Deckard's ground car exactly like a Spinner on the inside (down to the dome) but different from the outside??

:shock: :lol:

Ground cars are wheeled spinners.

What???!

Spinners don't have wheels now??

:shock: I guess the final cut will really be a different film!

LOL


Seriously though; look at the call to Sebastian's house from the car after Batty visits Tyrell.

Look at the sequence carefully. The interior shots are in the Spinner cockpit set and the exteriors are of Deckard's car.
