Checking the Gate: Episode Eleven - Blade Runner

Greetings!  On this episode we wax philosophic as we delve into the worlds of "Blade Runner" and "Battlestar Galactica."  We ponder the meaning of death and the spiritual ramifications of mass producing synthetic humans.  Incidentally, we also get a double dose of Edward James Olmos!  Along the way we mention these spectacular websites and references.
