Totally agreed, Jake. And I sure hope you're right about the Telltale game. I'm quite confident that they respect and know what they're doing with the license (I was quite impressed with how well they captured the Wallace & Gromit spirit despite not being Brits). Just crossing my fingers that Universal won't meddle too much with their ideas.
Besides, Telltale already had plenty of reckless manipulation of the space/time continuum in the Sam & Max games, so hopefully the developers got those urges satisfied.
Would love to see them exploring some more eras in the history of Hill Valley, of course involving the recurring characters and their ancestors - discovering that Biff had a brief period as a hippie would be awesome, and imagine Strickland's reactions to 1960's youth culture (multiplied x10 by hair envy)!
