Back to the Future II

I've always put Bacon in the oven. It was how my father taught me, it was how his father taught him.

Bacon.................

[AdminAssistant]

And if you cook bacon in the oven, I highly recommend using a broiler pan so that most of the fat drips away from the bacon. Healthy bacon!

[Jester]

I myself don't use a broiler pan for several reasons, the most obvious being that I don't own one. What I do is put the bacon on a foil-covered cookie/baking sheet. When it's done cooking, I let the bacon cool and drain on a paper towel-covered plate.

It works.

[Andara Bledin]

Paper as in the type they use for grocery bags is the best for draining the grease off of food. Paper towels are a decent second.

Speaking of bacon, there is, right this moment, a bacon & chicken pizza headed to my door.... *drool*

^-.-^

[Jester]

Paper towels have always worked for me. And since I almost never have that kind of brown paper laying around, they'll have to!

As for the pizza with BACON, I officially hate you. I have nothing more exciting than spaghetti and meatballs heading to MY door. Grrr....

[lordlundar]

Okay, I've never even PLAYED the game, and you've made me dizzy!

Ive seen all the movies AND played Episode 1, and that made MY head spin...

To Quote Chief Miles O'Brien from DS9:

I hate Temporal Mechanics.

[Plaidman]

I don't why it so hard to understand.

I'll try again.


Simply put, the Doc that we love and know, at the end of the FIRST movie, had another adventure with the MARTY at the end of the THIRD movie. After that adventure, he then went back to help Marty and his kids.

Is it really that hard to understand?

If you don't have a head for it, then yes, it can really be that hard to understand.

I'm a math-loving freak, and temporal oddities amuse me.

There's a flaw in your logic. Let's use the DeLorean's age as the timeline and the times it goes to as destination. I'm sure we can agree that its timeline is pretty straight forward - and the trilogy follows the timeline and age of the DeLorean.

At the end of the 3rd movie, Marty in the DeLorean (alone), the train crashes into the ravine, and Emmett and Clara ride off into the sunset on the hoverboard.

Close to immediately after Marty is back in 1985 (a few minutes) the DeLorean is hit (and destroyed) by a train. Marty gets Jennifer and they go back to the (destroyed) time machine. We don't know how long it was but at least a few hours.

At time time Emmett and Clara arrive in their new locomotive style time machine with their two children, Jules and Verne. (BTW - I would LOVE to hear how they were able to build a time machine with parts from 1885!!).

(BTW - time travel isn't that hard to understand when you determine the constant (what is travelling in time).

Well, I never said I didn't understand it, just that it made my head spin.

No, I get what's being written. Here, I'll explain:

At the end of the first movie, Doc takes the time machine after dropping Marty off that night. He then shows back up in the morning to get Marty and Jennifer. Now for Marty, all that was was a night's sleep, but during that time for Doc, we don't know what happened. We only assumed that he went to the future and only went to the future before he got Marty. We know that he had the Mr. Fusion put in and had a hover conversion done on the car, but no mention that those are at the same time. That could have been when Doc went back to the early 30's which is when the game takes place. More precisely, it could have been between when Doc got Mr. Fusion and when he got the hover conversion done (Marty knew about the hover conversion and how to operate it, but never used it in the game so far)

To summarize:
For Marty, the events of the game take place a few months after the DeLorean was trashed.
For Doc, the events of the game take place while he's time hopping after he drops off Marty but before he picks him up.

Wow. Why to not listen to me at at during my posts. Here. I'll make a list to make it easier for people's head.

MARTY ADVENTURE
1: First off 1955 (Back to future 1)
2: Home to 1985 (back to future 1)
3: To 2015 (End of back to future 1/beginning of 2)
4: 1985 (Bad version) (back to future 2)
5: 1955 (back to future 2)
6: 1885 (Back to future 3)
7: Home to 1985 (back to future 3)
8: Video Game adventure


DOC'S ADVENTURE
1: Off to 2015. OOOH shinny! Future! YAY! What's history like? (End of Back to future 1, begining of game)
2: 1915 SHIT! NEED HELP! Send for Marty! (Video Game Adventures)
3: (After Video Games). Back to 2015.
4: More future after learning about Marty's kids, learn that that one event is what triggered it.
5: 1985 grabs Marty
6: 2015 again
7: 1985 (bad)
8: (1955)
9: 1885 where he chooses to stay, all time machines destroyed.


The 1885 is the END of Doc's adventures. At this point and time, he knows just how dangerous Time Machine traveling is.


There is no extra time machine that randomy pops out of nowhere. It's the same Deloroen that he used all the time.

To try to paint it even more clearly for people who can't make heads or tails, despite how freaking clear it is at this point.

While the adventes of the game are after the third movie, the time machine and Doc are from between the first and second while Marty is from the end of the third one.

Is it clear enough? Are all people just going to scream "The time machine is destroyed! The time machine is destroyed! It can't exist! The Doc went right to the future and back and did absoutely no other time traveling!


Despite the fact that the Doc was already considering destroying the Time Machine even before the they went back to the bad 1985, the huge suitcase of money from MUTIPLE time lines, not just 1985/1955. (You can even see from as far back as the 1800's, so he had to get that amount of currency from somewhere, especally since most were bills and in great condition).

So this Doc, to make it even fucking clearer, has NO IDEA ABOUT THE EVENTS OF THE SECOND AND THIRD MOVIE at this point, as he just left the at the end of the movie when he needed to get help and sent for Marty from the end of the third one.

Ah, I missed where you were talking about the game.

Sorry.

[Plaidman]

o_O What did you think we were talking about?

[Jester]

While a lot of what y'all said made my head spin like an out-of-control merry-go-round in a hurricane, THESE two paragraphs, each on their own, made everything make perfect sense:

To summarize:
For Marty, the events of the game take place a few months after the DeLorean was trashed.
For Doc, the events of the game take place while he's time hopping after he drops off Marty but before he picks him up.

While the adventes of the game are after the third movie, the time machine and Doc are from between the first and second while Marty is from the end of the third one.

See how easy it is when you just SIMPLIFY things?
