December 19, 2012There was some flirtation going on between Blade runner and Prometheus. If you look at the extra material on either the Fox Prometheus site or it may have been on a blu ray disk, but it connected Tyrell corp with Weyland. Its been a while since I looked at it so if someone remembers where those company investor sheets are, please help out here. I think I also read or saw a RS iinterview where it was touched on that there could be a connection between Weyland and Tyrell. Of course the difference between synthetics and replicants are that synthetics are built of synthetic materials - and for those who think they have human skin grafted on look at Ash when he burns, - and replicants, which are entirely a product of genetic engineering and so are organic. Or said a slightly different way, synthetics as produced by Weyland are inorganic and replicants produced by Tyrell are completely organic with genetically enhanced parts. Remember Chew, who said to Roy Batty, " You nexis 6. I make your eyes." So they assemble the replicants from genetically altered human parts.
