Ridley Scot movies are always visually dazzling, but the more I think about them less sense they make. Check my thinking here, please.
When we left Deckard and Rachel at the end of the first movie, he was a cop who quit before retirement and she was a rogue replicant. They'd be fugitives with little money. She unexpectedly bears a child, there's some trail-hiding with DNA records, and their daughter ends up in a sealed room because of her immune system. Ana, the daughter, tells K that her wealthy parents set her up there and then went off-world. Except, she has no wealthy parents. Her real parents are two broke fugitives. So who paid to set her up in the protective room?
The DNA evidence leads K to an orphanage where he remembers growing up and hiding the wooden horse. Except we later learn he is a replicant, and it's later confirmed that isn't his own memory. Ana tells him someone actually did live that memory. But K would have been raised wherever replicants are raised, and Ana grew up in the sealed room. So who in the hell grew up in the orphanage and how did this unknown person end up with Ana's wooden horse, and how did that mystery person's memory end up implanted in K? If it was Ana all along, why does she remember both being raised by wealthy parents and being in an orphanage?
K grew up thinking he was a replicant who couldn't lie, then found out he was born and therefore had free will, and so he lied to his boss and said he'd killed the miracle child. Except he later finds out that he IS a replicant of the model which cannot lie or rebel, so how was he able to lie to his boss?
K rescues Deckerd from Wallace's agents in the flying car shootout, and then K tells Deckard that he's free because everyone will believe he died in the prisoner van crash. Really? Wallace and his agents are desperately trying to find Deckard, but they'll just say "Oh well, guess he's dead even though we found no body," and give up? They won't suspect that whoever shot down the van might have rescued Deckard? That makes no sense.
But then K takes Deckard to visit his daughter Ana. How stupid are these characters? Two people KNOWN to be linked to the mystery miracle child, one a supposedly dead fugitive ex-cop and the other a rogue replicant ex-cop, drop by to visit Ana in broad daylight and, what? Just HOPE that no one notices and wants to know who they are visiting and why? To make their anomalous visit even more blatant, K up and DIES ON HER FRONT PORCH, because no one will notice that.
Why were the rebel replicants sloppy enough to leave Rachel's bones lying around to be found and examined, anyway? If they'd cremated her, none of this would have happened and no one would have known she bore a miracle child in the first place. And no, she it wasn't because she was buried in the normal way, because remember the forensic examiner said the flesh had been removed from the bones before burial. If they were going to go through that much trouble to dispose of the body, why not simply burn her and destroy all evidence of the child?
