I'll try it immediately! Thank to both of you!

I know that the reason that there was another Deloreon in the game was explain in Episode 1 as a result of the Time Machine getting struck by lightning in Part 2. My question is this. I interpret that as it duplicated the Time Machine. So if the Time Machine was duplicated, does that mean that Doc was also Duplicated since he was driving the Time Machine at the time it was Struck by Lightning?

Anyone that has insight on this, I would appreciate some info.

Thanks

That was never touched on, actually. Though I am wondering...perhaps it ties into the triple Marties at the end?

Living beings are not duplicated because they do not inherently posses the active Chronoparticles required by intertemporal travel and are mere organic passengers aboard the chrono-infused inorganic vehicle!

TELLTALE!!! Make Doc say that in Season 2!!! Seriously, that is some heavy Doc-speak technobabble right there.

DAISHI · 07/06/2011, 09:42 pm

Yes! And hire me to the writing team! I've got experience XDDD

the duplicate delorean is only mentioned once 'briefly in episode 1' and never again. That was one of the burning questions which went unresolved.

This I know. Said it in my OP. My question is, is there another Doc to go with that Deloreon?

As evidenced elsewhere (please don't make me search for it, I'm starting to hate that massively ineffective search function that usually disregards 85% of the key words I enter in it), there have been a lot of "alternative explanations" for the DeLorean's reappearance in episode 1. So although a lot of thought went into possible explanations, the individual explanation they eventually went with probably doesn't have to be that solid. It's a throwaway line that many people who play the game even missed.

OK, maybe Griff killed the "alternative" Doc in the future. Probably rather gruesome, there was a lot of blood and pain involved.

The reason why I don't believe there was a duplicate Doc is this...the Doc who got sent back to 1885 was naturally concerned for Marty and for the space-time continuum...so he tried repairing the time machine with 1885 parts and failed, and therefore buried the Delorean for Marty to find 70 years later...

Now, if there was a Doc in 2025, he too would be anxious to help Marty...he would be able to easily repair the time circuits and flying circuits (even upgrade them) and would be back to November 12th 1955 in a jiffy, to pick up Marty...that would interfere with BTTF3's events...plus, the spare Delorean certainly wouldn't still be around in 2025 for 'our' Doc to find.

Then logically, either something happened to that Doc or he wasn't duplicated.

DAISHI · 07/07/2011, 02:19 pm

So what you're saying is my explanation isn't sufficient.

Shadowknight1 · 07/07/2011, 05:24 pm

Absolutely not DAISHI. Thing is, a lot of people here are trying to apply real science and logic to what is essentially a COMEDY with science fiction elements in it. That's not to say that there shouldn't be some science applied to it, it does use some science, far better than, say, Hot Tub Time Machine, but it's still essentially a comedy.

DAISHI · 07/07/2011, 11:29 pm

Man I knew I was inherently wrong in my approach to this thread!

I'd say these 2 explanations suffice; doc wouldnt know he was duplicated and so 2025 Doc would also want to go back and get marty unless he were compromised. Or unless at some point in the timeline the 2 docs meet (1885 doc eventually goes to the future)
