I just now listened to Chris’s appearance on Comedy And Everything Else and came over here to read this article, which is great and I mostly agree with. My only quibble is that it is 100% possible to connect a 1955 television to a 1985 video camera.

in response to the final side note, i believe since Marty claims to be Darth Vader from planet Vulcan, giving George the mental push he needed and thus allowing him to write the SciFi novel he had always wanted to, featuring Marty’s “creation”, both Star Trek and Star Wars cease to exist in 1985 when Marty returns.

If you remeber the begining of the movie when Marty goes to Docs and sees the drasticly over filled dog bowl and papers for days….Then when he meets up with Doc at the mall Marty asked Doc where he had been…Well building a time machine of course. How long to you think it takes to build a time machine???

In regards to ‘why was Marty at Doc’s at 8am?’
The question is answered by the unasked one: Why would a scientist be building a giant guitar amplifier?
A guitarist will tell you that you need to practice almost daily to keep your skills proper. Marty seems to like really loud amplifiers, so he was probably referred to Doc by a guitar shop as the guy to see.
Then, it opens up the question of, if Marty and Doc had been hanging out, how or why had Doc never revealed to Marty about the Delorean?
This is, of course, referring to:
Doc #1 (dead Doc) who had no note, didn’t know Marty before 1985. Just a helpful mad scientist helping Marty build a really loud guitar amplifier.

Doc #2 (bulletproof Doc) had a note, knew Marty from the past, and indeed would have kept the project secret.

And of course, there’s the matter of November 6th, 1985, where there’s a mall parking lot with a crashed van full of (dead?) Libyans,
Doc Brown’s work van nearby, and a elevated amount of background radiation (and the lead-lined radiation container)

No wonder Doc took off to the future almost immediately. He was wanted for questioning.

“No. I’ll tell you what you did, you took every clock in your garage/apartment/lab and turned them 25 minutes back. Like a dick.”

LOL, amazing!

To add to the geekery, if Marty came back to the future in a 1984 Delorean then he definitely changed the future for more than his family and their immediate contacts. Deloreans were only produced from 1981-1983.”

Which would only be meaningful if they also went out and found all the existing Deloreans and crushed them into cubes when they closed down the production plant. Existing cars don’t cease to exist once they stop producing new ones. He could have bought it used, or bought it back in 82 and been working on it for two years. Or is there a deleted scene of them on a Delorean car lot I missed?

another one of these damned kids jumped in front of my car.

See, I always assumed this was a classic 50′s cranky dad joke that purposefully doesn’t make sense. It’s actually one of my favorite lines.
