A list of things that don’t make sense to me every time I watch Back to the Future.

• Lorraine likes the name Marty so much that she waits until her third kid to use it.

• George and Lorraine don’t notice that their third child looks just like Calvin (Marty) Klein.

• George needs his car waxed so he hires Biff, the man who once tried to rape his wife. And it seems Biff is allowed in and out of the house whenever. Did George forget that Biff TRIED TO RAPE HIS WIFE?

• In the present Marty creates with his actions in the past, his parents are well off, yet still live in the same crappy house.

• In the new present, Marty’s brother “always wears a suit to the office” and yet he still lives with his parents.

• In the new present, Marty’s sister’s still ugly with the same personality, yet boys can’t get enough (Okay. That one’s mean.).

• When Marty goes back to the present 15 minutes early, he watches Doc get shot. He watches the Libyans chase after his other self in the time machine, with their van. He watches the time machine disappear and the Libyans crash their van. Marty then runs to Doc to see if he is alright. They have nice slow moments together. Meanwhile, off camera, the Libyans are most likely getting out of their van with their guns that still work.

• Doc comes back from the future at the end to tell Marty and Jen that they have to go to the future because “something has to be done about their kids.” Doc COULD just tell them what it is that they need to prevent in the future for their kids. They don’t actually need to go to the future.
