You completely skip the "6 skinjobs" line. Whoever Gaff really is, he still deserves a few minutes of focus on his character. On the other hand, is he instead a watcher from the distance making sure that the new improved more human than human Nexus model (Deckard) is working properly on his first test run? Or is he a psychic? A robot hunting robots? Or the angel of death in human form measuring the worth of the main character? Or Deckard's Virgil in the futuristic vision of personal Hell? If we dig even further into the character you could even (try to) argue that he might be just a figment of Deckard's broken mind - an embodiment of his tired cold dark cynical sub-conscience repulsed by the automaton world he lives in which is slowly but steadily driving him insane to the point that he even falls in love with something he undenyingly knows is a robot, a thing. Is he just an old raggedy cynic with a soft spot for humans who fall prey to the ultimate illusion called love? Maybe he was reminded of a similar experience he had and gave up on (which possibly turned him into a street smart lifeless shadow he is now) or he simply sees Deckard's completely genuine feeling of love for a completely fake human as the ultimate irony of an emotionless world and at the same time the only comfort.

Gaff has no reason to be in the movie since he doesn't really do anything in terms of the plot, yet he and his origami are essential when it comes to understanding the ending. I've always believed that he is the key to the "is he or is he not" dilemma.
Gaff, one of the most mysterious characters in the whole history of science fiction was barely mentioned. I mean, where the hell is part 2 of this special? You did a fantastic job within these 3 hours (flew by like it was only one) but there's enough themes you've skipped to fill at least 3 more. Ok, so the main question of this episode was weather or not you've shed some new light on this well known subject.
