Not to mention suddenly everybody knew who Rachel's daughter was. The only thing missing was "I have a bad feeling about this" Oh. Yeah I guess so we could have yet another stupid sci-fi cliche of "Luke, I am your father." what?Īnd why did they need to find Decker again? Oh. Plotting revolution on a desolate shit hole nobody want to live on.įor some reason they even have a replicant cop going around killing replicants, that are legal but not legal but.
