Important Addendum

Regarding my last post…

Okay, internet. Fine. Have it your way:

In that first BTTF film, Doc Brown sets the time circuits to “25 years in the future” as an example while Marty McFly is filming his test of the DeLorean-based time machine. Today, 5 July 2010, is that day.

So there’s the connection. He punches it in, but nobody ever travels to 2010. I’m still waiting for October 21, 2015 before I make my hoverboard jokes. I’m just saying.

(Of course, 25 years in the future from October 25, 1985 wouldn’t be July 5, but whatever.)

Thanks mercurypdx!

    Great Scot! This is heavy.
  2. kevin said: He never punches 2010 in - he leaves it at 1955 which is why Marty ends up there.
  3. seej500 said: No, he never enters a future date. Doc says he’d like to go 25 years ahead, but never types it in. Here, see: m1k3y.tumblr.com/post/77…
