The Moral

...of the story is, you can't control your own future. You can't control your own destiny, just like Doc says in the first movie, but no, they had to make two more.
If my calulations are correct, then for as many times as Marty, Doc, Jennifer, Biff, Einstein, etc. traveled through time (6, I think) in the DeLorean, no matter what, there will always be an alternate reality they will end up in. At the end of the 3rd movie, Marty and Jennifer end up in 1985X and will live on to 2015X, which may or may not have been the 2015 they desired (as in, from attempting to stop their kids from becoming "assholes.") This serves them right because, like Doc said, you cannot control your own destiny. He also says, "the future is what you make of it," -without a time machine, that is. But, Doc is a big hypocrit, for at the conclusion of the trilogy, he goes flying of with his new family to travel time as if he's taking the fam across the country in a station wagon. Very nice Doc, way to fuck up the space time continium.
To be continued...
