What if everything from movies and TV shows that were set in the past and/or future actually happened?

An Epic Timeline of Real Sci-Fi Events

What if they all occurred within the same universe and were displayed on a real-world timeline? Well, you are in luck! The folks at blastr (a part of SyFy) have created a time-line showcasing 120 of the most memorable science fiction events from movies and TV shows in order. It covers everything from a long time ago in a galaxy far away in Star Wars, to Jean-Luc Picard’s birthday from Star Trek, and even the end of the universe from Doctor Who. I can just imagine science fiction geeks all over the world drooling and waiting to print it out to put it over their walls. How many have you seen?

Just The Facts For every situation, Batman has something in his utility belt that saves the day. The belt makes the man Everyone knows Batman doesn't have real superpowers, but this doesn't stop him from kicking more collective ass than any other comic book hero ever. That's right.
