BTTF 3 How *did* Doc Brown get back?

This DeLorean and the one in the mine have to be one and the same.

They’re all one and the same.

I see what you’re saying. Before Doc disappears in the thunderstorm to 1885, there is not a DeLorean in the mine. But immediately after, when Marty gets the letter, there now is one in the mine, but there aren’t any other DeLoreans in 1955 at that moment.

However, that now means, retroactively, the one in the mine now always was there, and anyone living through that newly merged 1955 would be sharing Hill Valley with four DeLoreans.

I don’t get it though. So there’s a DeLorean already in the mine when Marty and Doc first come back to 1955 from 1985-A (the one where Biff was rich and powerful) in BTTF II? How could it have gotten there? Doc didn’t go back to 1885 until after the DeLorean that Marty and Doc used to get back to 1955 from 1985-A gets hit by lightning near the end of the movie (right before the Western Union guy shows up with a letter from Doc.) This DeLorean and the one in the mine have to be one and the same.

You’ve got to think fourth dimensionally!!

Yeah, I’ve got a real problem with that.

If I could go back in time, I’d have stuck in a DeLorean driving past in the background somewhere in the third or fourth movie, just to screw with people like us down the road.

The short answer is that HE IS DOC BROWN!*

I wonder Doc Brown ever met The Doctor?

Any way if Spock could construct a mnemonic circuit using stone knives and bearskins, Doc Brown could whip up a flux capacitor in 1885.

*the long answer is He’s Doc Brown, bitches!
