I am sorry I have not posted in a great long while, but I have been elsewhere with my mind.
Today I had a random thought about a post I recently read on another site basically saying that Doc Brown from Back to the Future was suicidal. The reasoning behind this as far as they were concerned is that Doc Brown had no idea that it would work at all and he aimed the car at himself and Marty.
Now let's stop here for a minute and remember the rest of the movie. Remember the fact that Marty is recording all of this, and later on shows it to Doc Brown. He has foreknowledge that it will work around this time and place due to the time circuits in the Delorean and the video evidence from the video camera. Later he would technically have knowledge of it working due to Marty traveling forward in time, or at least exploding.
So in theory he would have known this all along and actually brings me to my point. The series is actually a self contained paradox of itself. If Marty had not gone back in time in the DeLorean, would Doc Brown have given up on himself or even tried to build the time machine. We can guess that is Marty had not gone back and written the note Doc would not have been alive when he got back to the future.
In this story Marty is Doc's muse and is needed in order for Doc to even amount to what happens in the movie. And for those of us lucky enough to have beaten and played the Tell Tale game we realized this. In the game time gets all messed up by Doc and it gets rewritten in a fashion that endagers Marty's existance and the reality in which they live. The ending actually left it open for a sequel which if done in the same fashion would be awesome in my opinion.
