FRIDAY, JUNE 23
LOIS & CLARK---Dean Cain said he hopes a sequel might be in the future, "We ended our show after four seasons in a weird way because we’re supposed to do a fifth season. Teri [Hatcher] got pregnant in between and couldn’t work on that fifth season so they decided to shut it down. I would have liked to done that fifth season, I think we still need a fifth season, we need something, at least part of a fifth season. So I’m hoping that we get a chance to maybe finish up the series.”
He added, “Maybe it’s six episodes, maybe it’s 10 episodes, maybe it’s a two-hour movie. But I think it would be really interesting to catch up with these two characters 20 years down the line and see what’s happened in their lives. If they have had children or what’s going on with their kids, I think it’s really interesting and I’m certainly willing to.”
I`m a big fan of Dean Cain and also a big fan of Lois & Clark but this is a bad idea. I am doubtful that it would work. And by the way Mr. Cain is not only older but he is in no physical condition to play such role nowadays. I recently saw a photo of him with Lou Ferrigno that was taken not long ago and Mr. Cain did not look as fit as he once did, that`s for sure. He even looked a little bit fat so I say no to that 5th season.

If he's a replicant in the film, then it's odd that he's so empathic, falls in love, has a job where everyone has known him for years, etc.
As I said above, we see Deckard's eyes glowing with that wolf-like 'replicant amber' reflectance, at a particular point in the movie. He's not supposed to be a replicant, but Roy Batty is, and the only point in the movie we do see his eyes glowing is when he's taking out Tyrell's in complete frustration and anger . It seems obvious Scott wanted Batty to be the only 'human' character of the lot on some kind of deeper psychological level. When he finds Pris shot up by Deckard, he daubs her blood on his lips. Rutger Hauer, I don't think, ever reclaimed the dramatic heights epitomized by his Roy Batty.
What seems generally true is Blade Runner paints humans as destructive, commercially self interested automotons who don't have a single clue what they're about.
Anyone who knows someone aged who has had their own lenses replaced will be familiar with that 'replicant' amber look in their pupils under certain lighting conditions. I find it ironic that Blade Runner introduced a lighting phenomena which is supposed to relate to reduced years, when in reality, it is associated with durability.

I used to know an amazing Canadian girl whose eyes glowed in subdued light, bright orange like a cat's. I don't think she was a replicant.
Irrespective of how diluted from the novel the film is, Blade Runner stood alone as a complete unit. It had lots of analogy about the human condition, mortality, sentience, dystopias, etc.. But it ended either bleakly (the original cut) or in uncertainty (the ... better ... first release cut). It was complete in itself. To have a sequel is akin to producing Hamlet 2, or 'Macbeth: He's Back'.
Unless Scott has solved the riddle of existence in the meantime, which I'm betting he hasn't.
I waded through (despite myself) 'Taboo' simply because I couldn't see what the hell it was all about, the point of it, until the very last scene of the very last episode, on the ship, where suddenly the big message emerged: Europe is steeped in dark, old, oppressive corruption, and it's the flawed and damaged who emigrated to become the real Americans. In the present climate on immigration that's a good message, but boy, the vicarious sadistic, even if stylish, manure you had to get through to reach a scene many probably didn't stick it out for ....
