Question: Can someone explain me what's the problem when Doc went to 1885? He's got the time machine with him, so why didn't he just come back? Loesjuh1985
Chosen answer: The unexpected jump brought on by lightning striking the DeLorean caused the circuits to fry. Since Doc didn't have the equipment to make new ones in 1885, he decided to hide the car and resigned himself to life in 1885.
