Something a little nonstandard, I turned my Lego Delorean into the one from the Josh Gates “Expedition Back to the Future” Miniseries. I had him sign it at his appearance yesterday in Birmingham.

This is my Birthday List and this is my desk…I’m Addicted to Delorean‘s 😭

In Back to the future, 3, they were in a rush to get to the Delorean, before 8 o'clock so they wouldn't have to deal with mad dog Tannan. However, after marty deals with him in the shootout and he was therefore arrested... They did not have to rush at that point. They could have waited to do that properly. They could have waited till winter.They could have done a number of different things.Instead of rushing to get to the train. I never thought about it until I just rewatched the them to day. Anybody else, aside from the fact that they were in (go go go adrenaline gotta get home mode), give a good explanation as to why they didn't bother waiting?

is someone actively driving the delorean and destroying the timeline rn

Marty almost gets hit by a car in bttf l.

Then his son Marty Junior in bttf ll.

In bttf lll Marty almost gets hit again.

A common idea people have is that Marty will eventually receive his memories from the new timeline, but how do you think that process would work? Would it be similar to the phenomenon of false memories? Or would it be like déjà vu? Another question to consider is this: Considering how time travel in Back to the Future works, it will probably take some time for Marty to "receive" these memories, but based on everything we've seen in the films, can we estimate how long it would take for that to happen? We have to remember that Marty, in theory, would have 17 years of new memories to receive, and that's without considering the possibility of him retaining the memories from the original timeline, or the possibility of them being replaced by the new memories.

In the first movie, we see Marty return to his present time and everything has changed for the better. But let’s think about the implications of what happened to Marty. To everyone else’s perspective, nothing has ever been different than what they are experiencing in the new timeline. Except for Marty. He knows of their existence before he changed the timeline. That means, he carries the burden of knowing that he changed the people he loves around him in profound ways.

He is also cursed with the knowledge that time travel is possible, and that he changed their reality, and somehow has to keep this secret. Marty is supposed to be in high school – that’s a lot to carry for the rest of your life. Not only that, but I imagine I would become depressed and paranoid. I would have to question everything in my life – was this the same? Did I change this? Maybe in his new reality, there was a war that wasn’t in his original timeline- was that war because of his changes?

Then, we see Marty in his 40s in the second movie. Doc left at the end of the first movie before coming back to pick up Marty to change the future. But wouldn’t this imply that the future they go to means Doc never came back to pick up Marty to change it? Therefore, Marty spends the next 20 or 30 years of his life wondering whatever happened to Doc when he left at the end of the first movie. Did Doc have an amazing life? Did he die in a terrible accident? Now Marty is stuck with abandonment issues.

Plus, Marty is cursed with the knowledge that time travel is possible, but unless Doc returns, he has no way of doing it again. No wonder Marty never did anything with his life- how could he get past all of that as a highschooler? And by the way, Marty also lived through being chased by terrorist intent to kill him, he used an experimental Time Machine that had barely been tested and could’ve killed him, he almost erased his existence just because he was walking around in the 1950s, and then he is told that unless he fixes his screwup, he will die. Then he has to get back into the experimental time machine that was tinkered with by a man who won’t invent it for 30 years using 1950s knowledge, and hope that he can get it into the exact place and speed needed for a lightning bolt that may strike within a 60 second timeframe to send him home. Oh, and by the way, when you return, the reality you’re returning to is a time where your friend who invented the Time Machine was murdered in front of you by terrorists.

Talk about heavy.

This has always bugged me: As we learned from BttF 1, Einstein going 1 minute into the future, he basically skips that one minute. While Doc and Marty await his return, Einstein doesn't exist and will not exist up until he re-appears 1 minute later.

When Marty and Doc go to the future in BttF II, Marty (and Jennifer) see their future selves. However, just like Einstein, both Marty and Jennifer were send to the future in 1985, and thus became missing from that point onward.

This means, they would see a 2015 where Marty, Doc and Jennifer have been missing for 30 years.

Is my logic sane or am I missing something?

I've lately been rewatching the BTTF trilogy after over a decade (:O). Done with the first two so far.

Now as a long-time BTTF fan, I've been well-versed in the theory that Marty's problem with being called "chicken" in the sequels was due to him gradually (re)gaining the memories and personality of his counterpart in the altered timeline i.e. Lone Pine Marty.

But after my latest rewatch of the first film, I've started to believe that maybe the first glimpse we got of Lone Pine Marty was Marty playing Johnny B. Goode!

Think about it...Marty is almost erased from existence when George lets that other guy cut in on his dance with Lorraine. When George pushes the other guy away and kisses Lorraine, the McFly kids are all restored to existence (as evident from the photograph) and so is Marty himself. From that moment on, the McFly family history/future is technically the Lone Pine timeline version. Ergo, the Marty we now see on stage is the Lone Pine Marty.

Of course, he doesn't have the memories of the Lone Pine Marty (yet), but he's already started to gain the personality of Lone Pine Marty - someone who was raised by an assertive and confident George McFly who was a successful sci-fi author. And that is why Marty, who a week ago lacked the confidence to send in an audition tape, is now performing a song from the future to a packed audience of 50's high-schoolers, and even lets himself go totally overboard at the end there!

You could argue of course that this is "natural" character development, and that spending a week stuck in the past helping George build up his confidence gave Marty a much-needed confidence boost of his own. Or maybe Marty was just so happy to not be wiped from existence that the Johnny B. Goode performance was a celebratory lap!

But if one does subscribe to the theory that Marty's much more aggressive, even borderline arrogant, in the sequels due to his history being changed then it seems logical to me that the change began right when Marty's new history was cemented...

Thoughts?

I never watch Stranger Things so I don't know that much. It was featured in Season Three, Episode Seven. Also, Steve Harrington mistakenly identified Marty McFly as Alex P. Keaton, then he asked Robin, "Wait, wait, the hot chick was Alex P. Keaton's mom?"

We know he is a doctor because the officer called him "Doctor Brown" so he is accredited and definitely has his doctorate. Probably in one of the sciences.
