I have returned from field camp.

"With gleeful deliberation, Strickland continued the crunching orgy."
—Refering to Mr. Strickland's love for crushing Walkmans with a vise

Obviously this is a work in progress but we will prevail. Here lies what are known as "4th dimensional articles". The direction for the articles should be from a historical point of view, with "insider" knowledge about the doings of the Time Machine and all changes created by it. Perhaps the users here can be known as "historians" or "futurists"? You can call me Griffsyphon, but I'll also go by SkywayFlyer, my user name on BTTF.com.

Alternate histories look interesting, but I'm not sure if I'd want this guy to be my President either.

First original articles: Shonash Ravine, The Pinheads, Terry, John F. Kennedy Drive, the DeLorean Time Machine, Lyon Estates, Hover conversion, Hoverboard, Delgado Mine, Time display, CusCo, California, Skyway

Sources include: the movie trilogy, the animated series, the novelizations, the screenplays, movie sourcebooks, and DVD commentaries, and even the video games. I personally own Back to the Future: The Official Book of the Complete Movie Trilogy, purchased from Universal Studios in 1992. Authors Michael Klastorin and Sally Hibbin. Published 1990. I now personally own the Back to the Future novelization, the Back to the Future Part II novelization, and the Back to the Future Part III novelization and will be scanning them for details and differences of plot.

Canon can be broken down as so:

  • B-canon - Bob Canon, the creators' canon with the movies and screenplays
  • S-canon - secondary canon not conflicting with B-canon (novelizations, animated series and comics, mostly due to storylines, individual items may be more canonical)
  • N-canon - non-canon (certain things like the storyline of the Ride but the IFT might be S-canon)

Credit must be given to Keith Gow's work on the BTTF Chronology at his site, http://home.vicnet.net.au/~kwgow/future.html where alot of the minor details were located. Credit to http://www.bigwaste.com/bttf and http://www.BTTFtour.com for sniffing out all the major filming locations.

Could the improved 1985 be considered as 1985-I? Others call it the "Lone Pine Timeline", whereas the original timeline is the "Twin Pine Timeline".

  • Images, Images, Images
  • Add information from the Animated Series

Understanding Why Doc Continued

Did he really have to do it?

It has always been puzzling to understand why having been so against the creation of another time machine that Doc builds the Jules Verne Train, and according to the animated series, builds another DeLorean with more features, and according to the ride, builds a fleet of DeLoreans that can hold many people. Regardless of the number of vehicles and flux capacitors constructed after the movies, it is within the ten year period from 1885 to 1895 that Doc has a change of heart. Seeing how Marty left him in the past with Clara, at the moment there was no way for him to get back without building another machine and with the parts that existed in 1885. Doc could have sent another letter to the future or stored something away for Marty, but he didn't. Why is this? Perhaps having second thoughts was natural to Doc, after all in the 30 year period between 1955 and 1985, he tapes together the letter that Marty gave him warning him of his inevitable death in 1985 and follows through by wearing a bulletproof vest. But what causes him to change his mind on such a big thing as re-inventing the time machine? Is Clara so persuasive that he would do anything for her, even if meant destroying the space-time continuum all over again? Life is a funny thing. Love is even funnier. And maybe that is why he continued to build time machines and visit the past and the future, for the understanding of science, which was the reason that he and Clara connected in the first place. Either way, he finds out how to make a flux capacitor with parts in 1885 and uses a steam locomotive for the power, apparently this flux capacitor does not need 1.21 gigawatts of electricity anymore, but how much exactly? Another interesting question is how Doc found out which railroad tracks would still be in operation by 2015 so that he could give the train a hover conversion. There are so many little things to ask questions about that will continue to bother me for years to come.

Things that they left behind

Whatever happens of the things that a traveler takes to a year and then discards or forgets about? Does Doc clean up after himself?

  • JVC camcorder, from 1985, left in 1955?
  • Sony Walkman, from 1985, left in 1955?
  • Hair dryer, from 1985, left in 1955?
  • Playboy, from 1985, left in 1955?
  • Remains of the almanac, burned in a bucket, from 2015, left in 1955.
  • The top of Biff's cane, from 2015, left in 1985A which would either A) disappear since Old Biff did once returning to 2015, or B) remain intact and survive to 1985 per the ripple effect.
  • Hoverboard, from 2015, left in 1885? (unless following animated series which shows hoverboard in 1991, unclear if it is the same.)

    • So rather is 2nd the street directly in front of the Courthouse?

  • Page 198 states that the Bank of America was at the end of Main
  • George' house was on Sycamore Street near 2nd, 2nd must intersect Sycamore
