- They're of Copernicus, who he owned briefly in the fifties or thereabouts until Edna found out about him.
- It's simple logic, really: The promo at the end of "Citizen Brown" shows that Citizen Brown might've resisted the mind control. And this had to have happened, because another chunk of the trailer shows that at least Marty (although in non-period accurate clothing) got to 1931, meaning the DeLorean was fixed.. Besides, it seems the only two problems left are making sure 1931 Doc and Edna break up AND that 1931 Doc has that "spectacular failure" at the Hill Valley Expo". Therefore, there's a chance that everything will be corrected by the end of episode 4.
...What? I forgot about episode 5? Well, that one is simple too; you see...
- The only two pieces of evidence I can give to support this are two minor things and one Fridge Logic thing. Both minor things come from "It's About Time": First, we have the fact that the only thing preventing Marty to save Doc right away once the DeLorean appears is that the "Last Time Departed" bar on the time circut readout is spazzing out. The second minor thing is that once Marty does get to 1931, the readout takes longer than usual to update itself, where it changes exactly when Officer Danny Parker begins shooting the DeLorean.
Then comes the Fridge Logic thing: in order for Marty and Citizen Brown to fix the timeline in "Double Visions", Brown needs to fix the DeLorean. Using materials at his disposal. ...which means that the repairs he made to the DeLorean will no longer exist once the timeline is repaired, so... you see where I'm going with this?
- This depends on what those modifications count as. Inanimate objects carried through time are never erased by the alteration of history, only modified. If the modifications count as their own objects, they will survive the prevention of the dystopian 1986, but if they count as being part of the DeLorean, they're on the same level as people in a photo, so it's glitch time.
- And where will our intrepid heroes go? Well, with the time circuits going berzerk, the DeLorean wouldn't be confined from the measly range of 0 to 9999 AD. A crossover with Telltale's upcoming Jurassic Park game may occur, courtesy of the actual Jurassic Period (continental drift notwithstanding). And, of course, as hinted in Episode 1, 2011 may also be on the cards.
- Yeah, um... considering how my prediction for "Double Visions" is now Jossed, there's a good chance this is too.
For you see, just like the audience, THEY don't understand what the {bleep} is going on so they decide to leave as soon as possible. They WILL sort this out... only after they collect themselves to better understand the situtation. And hey, they still have a DeLorean time machine, so...
- Conversely, because the first of the three Marties from the future let himself be seen by his younger self, it caused the parallel future timeline that the second Marty would come from, which then caused the parallel future timeline that the third Marty would come from. It could be seen from the fact that the second Future Marty talks of the first Future Marty as if his timeline's been erased, and the third Future Marty is sick of the both of them. By ditching all three of them, the Doc and Marty of the Present hope to prevent the events that set the paradox in motion before a fourth Marty from a parallel future timeline shows up.
- This is Fridge Brilliance. Future A Marty comes back for whatever reason, creating a timeline in which 1986B Marty apparently decides to eventually come back to that moment because things thereby eventually get screwed up (becoming Future B Marty/"Evil Twin" Marty), which again screws things up for poor 1986C Marty, who comes back from the future to settle things as Future C Marty. Hopefully, 1986 Marty just decides at that point never to revisit that moment in time...
- As a corollary, the whole incident with the three Future Martys will never be mentioned again, for the same reason: to troll fans and make them rage.
- And, of course, as previously established, Marty will never become any of those Marties because there's no way he'll become any of them at this point. Given enough time, they'll fade away, and Marty'll be fine with it because of Doc's 'you're the only real one, and the future is unwritten' philosophy.
- This will culminate in Marty discovering that the Flux Capacitor was destined to be invented, and Doc invented it a bit later and went through a different time-machine-making process, culminating in a new first experiment not long after his return to the present. The player is given the option of sabotaging it, letting Marty's history repeat itself, or changing Doc's time travel experience for the better.
- Jossed.
Let's see: he has never fired a single shot to Buford Tannen (or to anybody besides those dummies), avoided the shooting with him for as long as possible and even though the outcome appeared to be a win (Buford was K.O.'d and sent to jail), "Clint" still proceeded to go down a cliff (hence "Eastwood Ravine"). Meanwhile, Buford's life couldn't change that drastically, as Biff, his great-grandson, still likes the Old West in the modified 1985 (he compliments Marty's outfit).
The only advantage the real Clint Eastwood would have while setting up his career is that cowards tend to be forgotten in history, and no one would have compared him to a figure that only appeared for a week in 1885 in a little-known town, and even if the link was discovered, the real Clint could have dismissed it as the two "not being related".
Doc's 1955 self was surprised at seeing his name at a tombstone from 1885 and he knew the buried Emmett Brown couldn't be just an ancestor who had the same given name as him because his family used to known as Van Braun before World War I. Having never traveled in time by then, Doc's 1955 self would remember no timeline other then the one where Buford shoots his future self in 1885 and it not affecting his family supports the theory about Clint Eastwood.
Fate doesn't like it when people from the future are stuck in the past and Doc had already damaged history by saving Clara's life. Fate realized that either Marty would find out and get back in time to rescue Doc or Doc's death wouldn't be prevented. Either way, Doc would be unable to cause more damages to history.
