So here are the reactions of the other team members to their rejuvenation – and as you would expect, they are both a lot more sanguine about it than Mopey.

In Biff’s case, it’s just a matter of priorities. Before considering the small stuff, he assesses the impact on his top ten priorities, nine of which are his glasses – on which his intellectual capabilities rest, after all. So his shock at being young again is tempered by relief at not being dumb again. That would be a major nightmare for smart!Biff, of course…possibly not realizing that dumb!Biff could deal with it perfectly well, just as he always had been able to. But, anyway, that twist is averted. Biff is physically much reduced, but intellectually stable.

And Gregory…well, I wouldn’t say he’s not shocked, but his whole life…and after-life…and after-after-life…and then new life…has been marked by fate lobbing curveballs at him, so this new twist isn’t anywhere near unprecedented. Being a bit younger and balder isn’t quite as drastic as getting run over by a car (off-screen) and getting switched to a cerebro-based diet. The hairdo is quite a change, of course…but it’s going to be a hot summer, so it’s likely he’ll grow to appreciate the practical side of it soon enough.

Mopey is still feeling a bit under the weather…or under the merciless mocking of a non-caring universe. The Professor is right to contextualize that a bit, but he’s also right to qualify that in turn. She’s definitely the worst affected team member.

Snuka, naturally, is the least affected one. His age hasn’t changed, his age-gap with the others has been reduced…and the only visible ill effect is that the writing on his t-shirt is mirrored. Which I will readily admit to not have done on purpose… >_>

More on Thursday.
