Possible BTTF Season 2 ideas/speculation/suggestion

Emmett L. Brown: 1920-2020

“The Second Greatest Doctor Of Them All”

He will die in season 2, and i’m pretty sure he will stay dead.

[Hudomonkey]

Why can't someone who has got season 2 in the future, time travel to these forums and give us the release date?

You know...I wouldn't put it past them to wait until 2015 before tackling BTTF again.

This is just an idea. An idea, as i say, result of watching the entire films saga without interruptions this night.

I've noticed in the first 2 BTTF films that Doc eventually talks about a date or an era with Marty eventually visited by them in the next film. I.e: He talks about visiting the future in the first film, then in the second film in which he visites future, he talks about visiting the western era.

Well, every real fan could know about this, and i think maybe there are tons of users noticing the same i'm about to explain here, but as i don't feel like reading the whole forum looking for that, i'm gonna say it... whatever.

Doc talks about visiting the medieval era in the third movie. There are no films or games featuring that scenario! It could be a great place to put Marty & Doc in troubles, having there are no fast vehicles in that era reaching the 140 Km/h, no plutonium, no gasoline, and no pieces to repair a time machine, in the case it suffered some misfortune...

That's all. Also excuse my poor english :P

They'd have to modify the time machine to allow for spatial travel, as the films and the games only allow the DeLorean to travel to exactly the point where it left. Admittedly, scientifically, the DeLorean would already need to have spatial travel as the Earth's position would be different in different time periods due to the rotation of the Earth.

But, you could hypothesise that Doc could have invented some kind of spatial compensator (not a lot is known about what kind of inventions Doc made for the time machine other than the Flux Capacitor). He'd need to adapt that hypothetical spatial compensator to allow for travel to other places than Hill Valley, California, since the medieval period didn't exist in North America since Europeans wouldn't come to that continent until centuries later.

That said, the DeLorean could move through time and space in the animated series, so it has been done before. I would want an explanation for it though (and I'm sure Telltale's writers would too, since they gave an explanation for the presence of the DeLorean in 1931). If they did do that, I personally would be happy, as it would be one more thread connecting the animated series to the games (and thus the films), like they did with Doc always having lived part-time in 1986 at the end of OUTATIME (the animated series takes place in 1991, so it connected well).

I don't know if this has been mentioned or not, but something I'd like in a potential season 2 is a slightly higher music budget. Enough that Jared could hire a few live musicians, or even a small orchestra to perform the score, or at least parts of the score. And maybe some more licensed music from whatever era Doc and Marty end up visiting.

That wouldn't really work, If they went back to medieval times they would go back to a inhabited America (apart from some indians) For that to work they would need to add a feature so the Delorean can travel through space as well as time to take them to England, but then that doesn't work well because its not in Hill valley...

"Apart from some indians". Some Native American cultures would have been at their peak in the Medieval times. There were cities that were larger than anything the Europeans would build in America until the 19th century. The continent wasn't exactly deserted before the Vikings and Columbus showed up.

That said, I don't think Medieval times would work either because one of the biggest hooks of series has always been the family connection. It doesn't really have the same impact if Marty is meeting a relative that's thirty generations removed from him.

Plus, they'd have to come up with some device to overcome the language barrier.

It could be a fun period to visit for one episode, or a part of an episode. Maybe a short trip to test Doc's adjustments to the DeLorean to travel in time and space. Doc seems like he'd be eccentric enough to make a side trip like that.

You're right though, it most likely wouldn't work if the whole season was focused around that time period for the reasons you stated.

I wouldn't be surprised if Doc knows Latin already. Doc could be Marty's translator. The language barrier actually has me intrigued. It could lead to some interesting puzzles if Doc and Marty ever got separated.

[Noname215]

It would be fun to see them end up in Colonial America, in the early 1700s.

One important thing which has been brought up is the family connection; the McFly's did not move to hill Valley until the 19th century (remember William is the first born in America). As well the spacial travel. Now doc did say in episode 1 he added a few bells and whistles to the delorean. Aside from the automatic retrieval, we hadn't seen any differences.

[horns]

One thing I been thinking about a lot these past few days is Jurassic Park,

[natokan]

I don't know if this has been mentioned or not, but something I'd like in a potential season 2 is a slightly higher music budget.

Well, there were also the calibration devices that Citizen Brown used and the satellite that Doc used to sync up the calibration units with the paradoxal DeLorean. Although, I suppose he could have always had those. We never got to see Doc tinker with the DeLorean outside of the limitations of the past in the films.

[xbskid]

So, uh, including the films, how many different timelines are there now?

[hscitpe]

Here's all the ones we definitely have physical proof of occurring in one form or another. I'm pretty sure I got them all, but if I missed any let me know.

A - Original timeline (George is a loser)
B - Marty goes to 1955 (George is a winner)
C - Doc returns to 1985 for Marty and Jennifer [Transition between Parts I and II]
D - Biff goes back to 1985 (1985-A)
E - Doc, Marty, Jennifer and Einstein return to 1985 (1985-A)
F - Doc and Marty return to 1955
G - Doc is sent to 1885 (Lightning strike) [Transition between Parts II and III]
H - Marty goes to 1885
I - Doc returns to 1985 from the future in the Jules Verne Train
J - Doc jumps to an unknown time in the past in the flying Train
K - Doc returns to an unknown time after finding the Temporal Duplicate DeLorean in 2025
L - Marty travels back to June 13, 1931 (Doc is in jail, Arthur gets murdered) [Start of the Game]
M - Marty returns to 1931 (Arthur is alive, Kid isn't in jail)
N - Marty and Doc jump back to August 25, 1931 (Kid goes to jail)
O - Marty and First Citizen Brown arrive on October 12, 1931
P - Citizen Brown tests the time circuits
Q - Citizen Brown tests the time circuits
R - Citizen Brown tests the time circuits
S - Alternate Doc arrives in 1931 to pseudo pick up Marty
T - Edna attempts to evade Danny Parker and accidentally jumps back to 1876 (Hill Valley vanishes)
U - Doc and Marty chase Edna back to 1876 and prevent Hill Valley from burning down, Edna is sent to prison, Doc takes up a part time residence in 1986.

(Depending on the universe)
V - Future Alternate Marty #1 arrives
W - Future Alternate Marty #2 arrives
X - Future Alternate Marty #3 arrives

[cathie]

Telltale,

Why not make future episodes of the Back to the Future game "a different timeline" for the same episode themes as the 1st series. In other words, start the game, at the same point, somewhere in one of the original episodes, and then have all different circumstances and objectives happen along the way, to get back to the same point as somewhere in one of the original games.. That would be really cool,... and Telltale ... you could use a lot of stuff, already done, and incorporate them, ....maybe some background scenes and characters from the original 5 games ... into the new series of games. Makes sense dollar wise.... don't ya think?

[Milosuperspesh]

yet in the first film the doc says he/marty could travel back to the birth of christ or some other time way before the delorean existed ?

just as the doc starts to talk about the car before the lybians/libiyans turn up
