Well how long was Doc sitting in jail before Marty arrived? Events would certainly have to play out to avoid a paradox.

I believe it was more than a week.

Good point but, why is it being released in febuary '11 and not january '11??? Just something to think about.

Farlander · 12/25/2010, 09:55 pm

With all the Christmas breaks and stuff that kinda leaves only a month of work till February. Maybe a wee bit more. So it's all fine.

Great Scott! On a replay, I noticed something that just might come into play. In old Edna's apartment, there's a newspaper with the headline: LOCAL SHOPKEEPER ROBBED BY ZOMBIES. Normally I wouldn't give this a second thought, would've just assumed it was someone at TellTale putting in a funny newspaper headline. But it's in the right foreground when it shows up, giving it some meaning. And the date: June 15 1931, the day after Doc would have been shot.

I thought as much. As much as Part 2 being my favorite, Jennifer always seemed liked dead weight/ a 3rd wheel. Felt like they could have done a little something more with her in part 2, besides making her pass out and making side stories about finding her in comas and hiding her comas in a hellish present. lol

Well, here's my two cents:

I think it's apparent that Artie McFly's future was altered so he was killed by Kid Tannen and his goons, or of course somehow he and Sylvia were unable to meet. There's no doubt that giving Artie the subpoena tipped this event.

You raise a good point regarding the incursion that the DeLorean's appearance with Marty going through to 1931 might have stopped Parker from taking Kid Tannen into custody.

The end though obviously will be a cliffhanger no doubt. Once they manage to get the McFly stuff dealt with, I think they'll go back to 1986 and First Citizen Brown is in charge of things.

He could arrive earlier so that Doc wouldn't be around the speakeasy. I mean it's not even needed for Doc to be in jail. They do know that being near the speakeasy will end badly anyway since Marty has the newspaper and all. It does not cause a paradox other than the "I wouldn't be here if you don't die but you would die if I wasn't here" one which does not affect time travellers at all in this franchise.

1.This has obvious spoilers
2.In the end of Its About Time, Marty was disappearing and Einstein is missing, this is the thread to discuss it, what you think will happen, and the surprises that will come in Get Tannen

Sorry seibert - you were beaten to the punch by about 2 weeks. Threads merged.

If Marty is already fading away by the end of the first episode wouldn't he be completely erased in the second episode? Or does Doc come up with a way to slow down the process and buy him more time?

I understand that Marty will be half-visible for most of the gameplay time (judging by some preview shots from the credits). I guess this is because Marty and Doc went back in time straight away - while Marty is before the final life-changing event which causes him to disappear, he doesn't fade further.

Until seeing the actual death of Artie, at least, he may stay transparent, which does make sense. Although I thought half-existence actually hurts people so I'm unsure if Marty will stay efficient on the case.

In this episode we will get Tannen. Who disagrees?

My vote is on "Marty and Doc will get Tannen" or at least try to.

jp-30 · 01/11/2011, 11:40 am

A spirited adventure in which Doc and Marty extract phenolics from grapeskins in an attempt to get tannin.

doggans · 01/11/2011, 11:51 am

My theory is that Tannen and 99 will attempt to stop KAOS from taking over the free world. And maybe they'll find Agent 13 in a mailbox.

Surprisingly Tannen will Get Smart before ultimately Fang takes CONTROL of the situation?
