There is no way Decker is the 6th replicant. It would mean he would have had to have been recovered by Tyrell or the Cops and reprogrammed as a Blade Runner in very little time. Also, they'd have to count on the fact that the other reps wouldn't say anything about it to deck. Also, they'd have to set up Deckard's apartment, including a presumably expensive piano and esper machine, and buy him a car. Even if they did all that why would they set him off on the streets, only to return when the cops forced him to? What's the point of making a Blade Runner replicant who has quit the job? Especially since he'd presumably been created for just one job.<BR>It's too wild, and has no logical foundation.<BR>-Tom
