Well, I tried to view that, but my coimputer can’t pick up YouTube without long periods of buffering (I have Dial-Up and no other kind of Internet access). You’re probably right–but only because I can’t stand that Austrian clod Ahnold. :mad: ---

> [@Bryan\_Ekers](#): > > One bit they overlooked was how the DeLorean was covered in ice (frozen oxygen?) when it went through time (though admittedly we only saw that during the one-minute demo hop - it was ignored for subsequent time jumps). If the T-1000 is riding the roof of the DeLorean during a time jump, it should freeze, then fall over and shatter. Hmm I haven’t paid close attention to the post-travel freezing factor (similar to beginning Stargate btw). But, the pre-travel flamyness seems to have been followed consistently. Whatever fanwanking might be involved, at the very least, ice should always follow flame. ---

Maybe along with Mr. Fusion and the flight upgrade, Doc added some deiceification mods. ---

> [@TBG](#): > > Maybe along with Mr. Fusion and the flight upgrade, Doc added some deiceification mods. That had run across my mind as well. As many times as I’ve seen it, I’d have to take a look when Marty arrived 10 mins earlier to try and save the Doc. I can’t remember seeing ice, but I wasn’t looking for it. Is the ice-effect totally gone from BttF 2 & 3? If so, must be an unstated technology the Doc added… Flux Dispersal Deicers™. Available at your nearest Auto Parts Store! ---

You’re probably right–but only because I can’t stand that Austrian clod Ahnold. :mad: That’s too bad. Then again, you didn’t watch past the first 10 minutes of Back to the Future, and you probably haven’t seen any of the Terminator movies, so most of it wouldn’t make much sense.
