Not a sentient pile of alley cats in a trench coat. You ask a lotta questions.

    the whole “Deckard’s a replicant thing” is lame because it ruins his character arc if he is. IMO the whole film is a comparison of the human Deckard who coldly murders replicants without mercy (like a machine) vs the replicant Roy who kills with passion, and eventually grants mercy to his enemy. The replicant is “more human than human”, and the human is more machine-like than the machine. Deckard’s story is going from a robot-man to someone who actually feels alive and concern for someone other than himself at the end.
