17	* Doc gets to witness his fate in 1985-A firsthand. He wasn't ''just'' locked up in a mental institution per Part II; he was also '''lobotomized.''' It does a lot to explain why he was so eager to abandon science altogether and settle down in the less-advanced society of 1885 in Part III.
18	* The idea that he might fade away for real when the Lone Pine timeline reasserts itself is ''literal'' nightmare fuel for Marty, who [[NightmareSequence dreams]] that Lone Pine Marty comes back to watch it happen. Worse, Doc takes his side, with a dialogue authentic enough to easily serve as the ''happy'' ending of a story about Lone Pines Marty. There's something uniquely chilling about getting a first-person perspective on the stock evil clone scenario—particularly since Lone Pine Marty is as conscience-stricken as you'd expect [[NiceGuy the Marty we know]] to be in the same situation.
