I'm also in the minority of people who didn't care for Blade Runner and don't see why its considered a "sci-fi classic". I've tried watching it twice. One of these days I'm going to have to try watching the original theatrical version with the "unnecessary" Harrison Ford voiceover, maybe it will help explain whats going on.

I'd suggest not trying to get too concerned with details. Fans like to look at tiny details and discuss them, but Blade Runner is really painted with a broad brush, with big themes. What is human? What does being human mean? What is life? What is the value of a life?

Deckard: [interrogating a woman about whether she's attracted to other women] You're reading a magazine. You come across a full-page nude photo of a girl...

Rachael: Is this testing whether I'm a replicant or a lesbian, Mr. Deckard?

Me: Cool. She said exactly what I'm thinking!
