I like to...You're not thinking 5 dimensionally....<br /><br />I like to think that Doc Brown was having a dumb period, and didn't realise it was impossible that the events had gone down as they had.<br /><br />However, after he rescues his future wife near the end of the 3rd movie, he settles down, has a couple of kids, gets a clear head, thinks back and realises it was all impossible, so he hatches a plan to fix everything. <br /><br />1. Together with the help of his wife and kids, he makes a new time machine out of a train.<br /><br />2. They all jump to ~2016 to interrogate Biff senior for information, add flying circuits and invisibility to the train, and pick up some virtual reality machines.<br /><br />3. They pop back to early 1985, and park the train with the invisible mode turned on (ala Star Trek 4).<br /><br />4. He plants a back door into the designs for the original flux capacitor so that on the jump they took from the future to the evil 1985, the flux capacitor will overload, rendering the three occupants unconscious.<br /><br />5. He then waits for the other versions of him, Marty and Jennifer to arrive back unconscious in 1985, and straps them into the virtual reality devices, wakes them up and plays the simulated "evil" 1985 to them. <br /><br />6. As the simulation ends, he puts himself and Marty back into the delorean, and sends them on their way back to 1955, where they will correct Biff's error. His wife cares for poor unconscious Jennifer all night, placing her on the swing outside her house just before Marty arrives back from the Wild West the next morning. (Doc and Clara wouldn't leave her on the verandah the whole night!! They're nicer than that.) They also switch the fax in Jennifer's pocket to a blank piece of paper.<br /><br />7. Doc then picks up his dog Einstein from his place, and hops back into the train with his family, following Marty's movements from the sky, and as Marty and Jennifer are standing by the train tracks, contemplating the loss of Doc, Doc flicks a remote control to cause the barriers on the train tracks to activate (he'd set up the remote system earlier), and then turns the train back to visible whilst playing loud bangs through the speakers to simulate having jumped from another time.<br /><br />That's obviously what happened.<br /><br />It explains:<br />1. Future-Biff's arrival back in the unaltered 2015<br />2. Why it looked like Doc had just arrived in 1985, but was claiming that he'd come back to collect his dog, but already had his dog with him.<br />3. Why Doc knew that Marty had his copy of the photo in front of the old clock destroyed. Doc was watching when Marty had arrived back in 1985 and got the Delorean smashed, so Doc quickly wrapped up his own copy of the photo to give as a present).<br />4. Why Doc decided to make a new time machine even though he'd previously decided they were bad.<br />5. Why the fax in Jennifer's pocket from the future was blank when she looked at it in 1985.<br />6. Doc's comment about the future not being written, and to make Marty's a good one. Doc was lying. The future is written - but he's hinting that there's a lot of work required to make sure everything lines up so as to not rip the fabric of the space-time continuum and destroy the entire universe.<br />7. Why the train track barriers activated at least 10 seconds before Doc supposedly jumped in from another time.<br /><br /><br />I mean, it's obvious isn't it ?<br /><br />Isn't it ? I need to go lie down now.Chris (from Oz)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09559381837370079164noreply@blogger.com
