Is it entirely clear from the movies what year Marty was supposed to be graduating? I'm wondering if it was clear he was graduating in 1986 or he could have been graduating in 1987 or even later. I initially took the remark where Marty said he's "not graduating for...." to imply in his reality he wasn't supposed to be graduating until later, suggesting that perhaps he was older than he should be (probably because his grandparents got married before they were supposed to). Of course this would likely screw up everything else (e.g. his mother would still be the same age unless somehow his grandparents premature marriage and his father's premature conception and birth also resulted in the same for his mother). So perhaps it's not that likely. But BTTF and particularly the game didn't really seem to care that much about the various changes screwing up the timeline (and how it all fit together), unless it was part of the story, it is after all much more of a light hearted comedy than hard scifi. More significantly though, the fact I can't find anyone else discussing this, and that his age suggests he would have been close to graduation make me think I could have just been reading to much in to the comment which I guess may have just been surprise at Doc being early with his graduation gift when he's frequently somewhat unreliable and absent minded.

Marty's graduation
Is it entirely clear from the movies what year Marty was supposed to be graduating? I'm wondering if it was clear he was graduating in 1986 or he could have been graduating in 1987 or even later. I initially took the remark where Marty said he's "not graduating for...." to imply in his reality he wasn't supposed to be graduating until later, suggesting that perhaps he was older than he should be (probably because his grandparents got married before they were supposed to). Of course this would likely screw up everything else (e.g. his mother would still be the same age unless somehow his grandparents premature marriage and his father's premature conception and birth also resulted in the same for his mother). So perhaps it's not that likely. But BTTF and particularly the game didn't really seem to care that much about the various changes screwing up the timeline (and how it all fit together), unless it was part of the story, it is after all much more of a light hearted comedy than hard scifi. More significantly though, the fact I can't find anyone else discussing this, and that his age suggests he would have been close to graduation make me think I could have just been reading to much in to the comment which I guess may have just been surprise at Doc being early with his graduation gift when he's frequently somewhat unreliable and absent minded.

Release dates
Can anyone confirm the release date for Episode 3? This page showed March 29, so I just created that page, but the episode page says March 28. Looking back at some archived blog posts from Telltale Games, it looks like this discrepancy could possibly be due to timezone differences. Until this can be confirmed, I'll just leave it listed under both of these dates. Tonyruscoe (talk) 23:04, January 1, 2015 (UTC)
- I had the episodes preordered, so looked back in my emails. I received the "Back to the Future: Episode 3 is Here!" mail 9:30 PM Eastern on March 28. JoshuaJSlone (talk) 20:03, March 13, 2015 (UTC)
