Has Sam Hit Kids With His Car Before?

After Sam hits Marty with his car, he shouts to Stella “Another one of these damn kids jumped in front of my car!” That would imply he has.

Is it possible Marty and Doc both hit their head at the same time in the new 1955?

https://preview.redd.it/8gpa0ro9upxd1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=941bf2fd8b4b55386fbb26e458579160212e377c

Something I just realized: in the new 1955, on the same day, Doc and Marty both hit their head, Doc in the bathroom handing a clock, and Marty on the street with his dad hanging and dropping from a tree. I wonder, could it occurred at the exact same time? Interesting if so.

Yet Marty didn't come up with no time travel gadget. Slacker!!!

Throughout all the generations of the McFly family, the ones with known siblings have one thing in common

There's someone named Martin among all of them.

Seamus has his late brother, Martin

Then we know about Dave and Linda's younger brother, Marty.

And then Marty's children, Marlene and Marty Jr.

Universal Studios Lyons Estate Props Question!!

This is a bit of a weird question but I wondered if anyone knows the history of Lyons Estate Props that you would see at Universal, I was there in 1994 and saw the props/statue and wanted to know if it was actually from the film or a replica?

If the McFly family were homesteaders since the 1880's, why wasn't the McFly family that well off in the unaltered timeline?

The BTTF universe seems to value longstanding generational occupations, wealth, and predispositions.

-The Tannens have always been bullies from dysfunctional families with always a criminal element mixed in.

-A Statler started off as a horse seller, and 100 years down the line, that family still ran car dealerships in Hill Valley (certainly a thing in my city! Perhaps not going back to the horse and buggy days, but a family here has had a Ford dealership since at least the 50's)

-Jones manure hauling kept hauling manure at least until 1955.

-The Stricklands have always been figures of authority with a strict code of discipline, both for how they present themselves publicly, and how they demand those in their ward must act.

-Doc's family were originally Von Braun before they changed their names. And even though a bit of a stretch, he's possibly related to Wernher Von Braun, even though his branch of the family found itself in California as early as 1908. Something about a forward looking family fascinated by science and making science fiction a realty, I'm sure the writers thought. Whatever the case, 1955 Doc Brown comes from old money.

So... All that said. How come George McFly wasn't doing better in 1955 and 1985 in the unaltered timeline? As homesteaders, the McFlys ought to have land that could have been swallowed up by the municipality by the 50's. Land whose value could have set generations for life. Is there a (somewhat) canon explanation for why George didn't seem to be particularly well off in the 50's? Doc Brown at least had his eccentric pursuits to show for having burned through his family's wealth.

Where is Everybody?

Watching the Twilight Zone this morning on Paramount+ and caught an interesting vision when the camera pans around the town square - turns out the same set used in the episode "Where is Everybody?" is also the Hill Valley town square. Just thought that might be interesting for some of you.
