    Actually, this was addressed by Doc in the Back To The Future 2. Time isn't on a linear path which somehow creates an alternate point in time. This is the reason why there is a different type of Hill Valley in part 2. Marty's Hill Valley still exist in part 2 but at a separate point in time. It's almost like the idea of alternate universes, but that is never mentioned in the movies if I remember correctly.

    I know. I have way too much time on my hand.

    Is there a parallel universe amongst Back to the Future and Family Ties?

    I posted this question before but I believe it applies here as well.

    WTF happened to the people that Sam Beckett leaped into? And how could they possibly carry on with their lives after he leaped out of their bodies not knowing what transpired while he was in their place.

    Booyah!!!

    If I was Sam Beckett, and I leaped into a beautiful woman, the whole episode would be me sitting in front of a mirror staring at my titties.

    The Terminator series - at least the first 2 always bothered me - never saw the third.

    How is is possible that John Conner sent his father from the future back in time to meet his mom and protect her. How could that happen? I mean how could John have been born and sent Rhys into the past if Rhys hadn't met Sarah to conceive him.

    And in T-2 after they defeat the liquid metal terminator and throw the chip and the hand from the original Terminator in the molten vat, how is Arnold still alive. Wouldn't he have disappeared because with the chip and the hand and with the research building being destroyed the knowledge that would have been necessary to create the Terminators would have been lost. And then if that happened, why would John Conner have been fighting robots in the future ... wouldn't the rise of the machines never have happened then or at least been delayed?

    If John Conner was born in 1984, then why in 1991 he was around 13, but should have been 7?!?!?! It still was a great movie...the Guns N Roses song kicked some ass!! :)

    Actually, the movie is supposed to take place around 1995 or so, and John is supposed to be 10 (weirdly enough).
