It kind of fits together.

I normally never recommend modern cuts that go back and fix things (ala Lucas) but Ridley Scott's Final Cut from 2007 is actually the definitive version and they went back and made some important fixes that were very well done to make up for one scene (the doves flying into the sky) where the budget ran out in the original version.

There are many cuts of Blade Runner and they are all unique but I enjoy the 2007 Final Cut the most. After that, you can check out the original theatrical cut which is an entirely different beast as it features Harrison Ford doing a film-noir detective voiceover the entire film (some people claim he did a bad job on purpose) with an ending from unused clips from The Shining!
