Thats your interpretation. Wallace also says something similar and says he could be one or not. Its not important for the big scheme of things they want to narrate. I love that.

maybe it isn't necessary for this story, but there's no reason for Gaff to say the line about his eye with emphasis on the word "eye" unless he was sure of it. Replicants can have babies is the big takeaway, whether it be 2 replicants or 1 replicant and 1 human.

This looked bad to me, but that last spoiler clinched it. One of the stupidest things I have heard all day.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I agree with you Trag, the relationship between K and his gf is stronger and sadder than Rick and Rachel. The ending with him looking at the giant size add of her with the ¨ill tell whatever you want to hear¨ is heartbreaking.
