Corrected entry: Wallace is obsessed with obtaining the secret to making replicants able to procreate so he can dramatically increase production of replicants. Given he is depicted as already able to produce them in an adult form and can implant memories of events and skills, this doesn't make any sense. Apparently his process is so slow, inefficient and expensive that it would be more effective to raise and educate infant replicants into adulthood than it would be to make them as he currently does - but he also claims to have created millions of replicants who are widely used for cheap labor and who were disposable enough that he stabbed one to death to prove a point.

Correction: Wallace is limited by the finite resources to artificially produce replicants on the dying Earth. Being able to produce replicants through biological reproduction would effectively allow him to create replicants from nothing, just as humans are created. Being able to create replicants without expending any resources would allow production to explode, leading to Wallace's ultimate goal of further expanding colonization.

Corrected entry: It is shown that since Joi is a hologram, she can not touch or interact physically with objects and if she does she will fade through them. This is shown when K is analysing the DNA, where she passes through K to read the DNA with him, and when she fades through the hooker to allow K to have sex with her. However, in the scene where she and K go to visit Dr. Badger to have the wooden horse analysed, Joi is shown placing her hand on the door frame, and does not pass through it. (01:35:00)

Correction: Simple enough for a hologram to place her hand on a doorframe - she's not touching it or putting any pressure on it, she's just mimicking a natural movement someone with a physical form could do.

Corrected entry: When his car is shot down, they break open the car door with a cutting machine. Some time later he closes the door and it's undamaged.

Correction: The damage to the door does not disappear. The scavengers place the cutting machine below the window frame, and beginning sawing until the door opens. When the machine is removed, there is a visible cut below the window frame. This cut below the window frame remains there for the rest of the scene.

Question: Is K meant to be the boy that supposed lived (while the girl survived)? Or did the girl get passed off as a boy? Why does K have her memories? What is the back story to the doctor? Why is she in a containment area?

Answer: The birth records were purposefully mixed to hide Ana Stelline (Rachael and Deckard's daughter). She was passed off as a boy and raised in the orphanage. K was given her memories because she secretly was giving replicants pleasant memories of her own. She is in a containment area because it is said she has an autoimmune disorder, but this is likely a ploy by the freedom fighters to keep anyone from examining her and discovering that she is at least part replicant.
