Deckard is a more advanced model of android... one with emotional responses enough to fool a test (a Turing test?) into passing him as a human. Edward James Olmos' character "Gaff" in the movie knows Deckard is an android, but few others do. Deckard himself doesn't know.(((Thought Criminal)))https://www.blogger.com/profile/17311656184275255223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23157576.post-17868132085939903702009-08-19T18:30:19.803+10:002009-08-19T18:30:19.803+10:00Thanks for the links beamish.

I don't know how common the male teenage fantasy is but I guess it must be universal.<br />I never thought of Decker as being and android, must read the book.Lexcenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17856993035719777231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23157576.post-12317733985301204682009-08-19T15:14:56.600+10:002009-08-19T15:14:56.600+10:00Blade Runner is based on Philip K.

It was originally my contemplation on love itself and whether a man could fall in love with a replicant that started the blog. Men can fall in love with a car or a hobby as much as they can fall in love with a woman. So why not a robot? My wife has often asked my why I love her and I offer many reasons but maybe the ultimate reason is that she loves me.Lexcenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17856993035719777231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23157576.post-6485847013527248932009-08-18T23:32:27.327+10:002009-08-18T23:32:27.327+10:00..laughing at inside jokes, reminiscing about the .....laughing at inside jokes, reminiscing about the past, appreciating art together...<br /><br />oh, I sound like such a girl.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23157576.post-59743873350585526032009-08-18T21:45:41.209+10:002009-08-18T21:45:41.209+10:00Real women are capable of smacking men over the he...Real women are capable of smacking men over the heads with tire irons when they come up with lame-brained ideas of beautiful robotic women who do whatever they want.
