  7. No interfering with the spacetime continuum. I figured, what the hell.

How did Doc meet Clara in the Pre-Marty, 1885 rescue timeline?

I wanted to see what you guys think about this because I don’t know the answer. Doc’s tombstone says “his beloved Clara,” but how did they even meet if she went over into the ravine and had only just recently arrived in Hill Valley?

I mean, was Doc just hanging out in the same spot where he and Marty were checking out the tracks, and he happened to save her? It seems plausible, I suppose. The only real explanation I have is that perhaps Doc’s presence in 1885 caused a subtle change—maybe the snakes that spooked the horses were in a different spot, or she took a different route that day.

Or maybe Doc, wanting a woman, had prior knowledge of the Clayton Ravine story and thought, Screw it; it won’t mess with the space-time continuum, and I need a woman.

Is the Fanhome DeLorean a good deal or will it end up being a scam in the end?

So I am thinking about signing up for the Fanhome DeLorean to celebrate the 40th anniversary this year but I want to hear from people who have done it before whether or not it’s worth it. Like I feel it’s one of those scams where they get you with the low prices for the first few packages then jack up the prices for the remaining ones or delay them intentionally. So is it something worth investing my time and money into or should I avoid it like the plague? Having a 1/8th scale DeLorean model seems like a dream too.

When Biff meets his younger self in 1955, why doesn't the fabric of reality unravel?

Forgive me if this has already been addressed, I did a fairly decent Google and Reddit search and couldn't find anything on this topic.

At one point in BTTF 2, Doc tells Marty that Jennifer can't come face to face with her future self. He theorized that they would either pass out from shock, or it could create a time paradox and destroy the universe, or just localized to the galaxy.

Later in the film, Doc is careful and avoids eye contact with his younger self as he helps him make adjustments to the Delorean.

But when Biff steals the time machine, he comes face to face with his younger self and nothing happens. They don't pass out and the universe, while altered, isn't destroyed.

Is this a plot hole, or was Doc's theory simply wrong?

Idea for a Doc and Marty French Revolution adventure:

Marty accidentally stops a random girl (who’s a French ancestor of his mother) from being executed while being chased through Paris by a French version of Biff and his gang and is arrested. While in prison and awaiting possible execution himself, he runs into Doc and they break out of prison. The prison itself just happens to be the Bastille on the day of the Storming. After watching the Estates General of 1789, Marty becomes sympathetic to the revolutionaries and joins their cause while Doc wants to get back to their own time before Marty disrupts history.

Younger Doc

I just thought it would be awesome to have a movie or series about a younger Doc. How he wanted to become a scientist, how was he in school, what other weird inventions he made, etc.

Special Guest Star

Most of you guys have probably already seen this somewhere but, as a first-time reader of 'Invincible,' I had to smile when I saw this on one of the pages of the first volume of the collected edition :)

WHAT IF MARTY AND DOC DONT SHOW UP IN THE DUEL WITH BUFORD "MAD DOG" TANNEN AND LEFT TO THE FUTURE IN 1985? WILL THE NAME "CLINT EASTWOOD" USED BY MARTY IN 1885 WOULD BE BRANDED IN HISTORY AS A COWARD?

Another plothole I want to hear you out on

When in part II, Marty and Doc went back to alternate 1985 (due to the ripple effect) and Doc was declared insane back in alternate 1983, wouldn't that mean that the time machine was never invented? Wouldn't that create a paradox where they never moved in time (since they started in good 1985)?

My Autographed Back to the Future ES-335 Guitar Signed by the Cast!

I recently attended fan fast and met the cast. I bought a Epiphone ES-335 guitar which looks similar to the guitar at the dance and had it autographed by the entire main cast of Back to the Future! This includes: Michael J. Fox (Marty McFly) Christopher Lloyd (Doc Brown) Lea Thompson (Lorraine McFly) Tom Wilson (Biff Tannen) Claudia Wells (Jennifer Parker) Huey Lewis James Tolkan – Mr. Strickland (Principal) Harry Waters Jr. – Marvin Berry Donald Fullilove – Goldie Wilson (Mayor/aspiring mayor) Frances Lee McCain – Stella Baines (Lorraine’s mom)

If anyone has any tips on how I can create a nice looking display or a professional service please let me know!

My Roman Empire of BTTF

The thing that I always thought about was, what if they just didn't gaf and created an absolute chaos? I'm talking about a case where they would use the delorean in front of everyone and travel between multiple timelines telling everyone about what they are doing and then every single human would travel back and forth and the universe would explode from the amount of paradoxes. Would be crazy

I'm gonna ram him

While we are always (rightly) quick to point out Biffs assault on Lorraine....

We tend to gloss over that teen Biff was also an attempted murderer
