And Deckard isn't a friggin' replicant. I'm in the minority there, though. Harrison Ford thinks Deckard is human. Rutger Hauer thinks Deckard is human. Philip K. Dick thought Deckard is human. The screenwriters thought Deckard is human. But since Ridley Scott decided Deckard is a replicant, that overrides everyone else who worked on the film, or wrote it, or wrote the original novel, or played Deckard, etc.
All I can say is that this is the ending that has always felt truest to me. Had I been the screenwriter, director, or Philip K. Dick, I think it's what I'd have done. And I hated the voiceover in the original cut so much it's a miracle I ever fell in love wuth Blade Runner. But we've been through all this before, you know...
