Telltale Games

Am I the only one that thinks that is strange that in Episode 3 where there is a town entirely devoted to discipline there isn’t Mr. Strickland? What do you think? He will show up in next episode or in this game there will be only Edna as a member of the Strickland family?

The fact that Edna married someone else in the normal reality means that in Episode 3's reality, Principal Strickland was in fact never born.

Isn't it stated in the first episode that Edna is his sister? Why would her getting married to Doc prevent his birth?

In saying that, maybe Principal Strickland is working at the time the episode takes place.

Why was he never born? Principle Striclands parents were never killed.

Yes, she says very clearly in Episode 1 that Principal Strickland is her BROTHER.

I figured he ended up working at the Bureau of Discipline. It seems like a dream job for him.

I was really kind of hoping to see him in this episode. I think they could have done some interesting things with the character in this timeline.

I agree. Especially with Edna being such an important figure. I'd imagine if we dont see him in the early part of episode 4, he will not be in the game.

Stricklands never get married. So after she got married her parents decided to never do it again, thus their cross dressing son, Principal Strickland was never born.

The Gentleman · 03/30/2011, 09:32 am

Ah my mistake.

I thought that Principal Strickland was Edna's son.

They mention "Strickland College" at one point, so I immediately assumed he runs that.

I was expecting to see him in this episode, but since we didn't, I no longer expect him to appear in the series.

Is there much need for discipline at college? Not like you get sent to the office for acting up! I guess he could deal with stuff like plagarism, academic probation and stuff like that but not enjoyable for him.

Also, I think Principal Strickland would have a heart attack, given the level of slacking off that takes place in a college environment.

In this Hill Valley there's probably a lot of discipline in college. Considering all the rules in town in general. And it is called "Strickland College" and by the nature of all the Stricklands I don't see why there wouldn't be.

I think that with Officer Parker there, there simply wasn't room for a second obstructive, annoying and pointless authority figure at that point in the chain of command for the purposes of gameplay.

caeska · 03/30/2011, 11:39 am

Well let's face it, episode 3 only takes place in a very small and enclosed area. Principal Strickland is most likely not a part of First Citizen Brown's administration the actual running of the town.
If he's working at the college then it's not likely we will see him in episode 4 either.

thesporkman · 03/30/2011, 12:42 pm

Maybe we'll still get to see little crossdressing Jerald Strickland when we return to the '30s. :P

Yea maybe Artie dates him before he meets Sylvia, thus Strickland has it out for the McFly's when he becomes principal...because Artie broke his heart.

It turns out Trixie is Mr. Strickland.

Oh man, Telltale, we've figured out your surprise twist ending!

I thought so too when I heard that. I also thought of Back to the Future the Animated Series where Marty is in college where a Strickland is the dean.
