Eldon Tyrell from Blade Runner was supposed to be replicant

The character of Dr. Eldon Tyrell is
presented as a kind of deity figure who has the power of creating life, but unable to prevent death. In the original screenplay Ridley Scott
wanted this character as well as Deckard to be a replicant. During the
development of the original story-line the Tyrell Corporation megastructure building is actually a pyramid, and at the base of this is a cryogenic chamber which houses the body of the real Tyrell. The replicant Tyrell, by creating near human genetically engineered machines is also trying to discover a way to bring the real Tyrell back to life. Another variation had the
bones buried beneath the building protected by the mysteries of 'pyramid power'.

, the reason movies like Blade Runner can be seen over and over again is how detailed and complex it is despite its seemingly simple plot. And it also doesn't force feed you, hence every time you see it, you see something new or figure out something that wasn't so apparent at first viewing.

Too bad they never filmed that. It would have been a great adding to the movie.

[Quidgo]

This reminds me of Fallout New Vegas for some reason.

there's nothing wrong with misanthropy 

[The Gnostic Truth]

Who says that's the "entire theme". Is is the superficial layer of a deeper plot, with grander implications. But you are excused from the table if this sort of food is indigestible for you. Indeed, it cuts rather close to home doesn't it: Much of our so-called "humanity" are a bunch of over-glorified organic machines, fit to be re-engineered and culled at will, as the archons see fit. Who then can stand against them and meet their TRUE maker? Not those who can't stomach the Truth.

[The Gnostic Truth]

Good observation. It is an experiment within an experiment, an occult secret within an enigma. But he figures it out, doesn't he. And in that he shows what the real meaning of spiritual power is: when the false self identity is destroyed in a courageous facing of the Truth, then whatever survives is Real, and Immortal. That's what it means to "do a [real] man's job". The Watchers of this fake reality are separating the real from the fake... as we speak.

I think Olmos was indirectly letting him know he doesnt have much longer either.

[herr direktor]

no, when he says then again who does... he means all of us, that in the end replicants ans humans are all the same, in the end what was the difference between a replicant and a human? they looked alike, even had feelings, one had little strength that's all...

[SunsetSideVet]

Deckert seems to be the butt of a cruel joke he doesnt know he is a part of. It is weird how the LAPD keeps tabs on where he is at all times to.

[Kincajou]

This and the ending where Deckard discorvers the unicorn shows he is a replicant. The book hinted at it, but there I don't think he is.

[SunsetSideVet]

Deckert is a replicant hate to break it to you. Edward James Olmos is the key to knowing this.

When Olmos leaves a orogami of a unicorn which Deckart thought was a dream when in reality is what the robot sees when there brain/computer is rebooting. Olmos character knows this and leaves him the hint of the unicorn. Also when Olmos says to bad she wont live, but then again who does? He is telling Deckert your in the same situation as her.

Yes Deckert is a replicant!
