SOURCES
Doctor Who: Lance Parkins' A History of the Universe was my main source for much of the Doctor Who timeline entries. However, I do differ with Mr. Parkins on the dating of some stories and have included some events which he leaves out and left out some events he includes. I have also begun adding events from the Virgin and BBC Books novels which have come out since this book was published, as well as some material from the eighties FASA RPG. And while I agree with Mr. Parkins that it is impossible to, at least with any certainty, date the events set on Gallifrey or during the Doctor's years with UNIT, I'm a stickler for consistency, so I went and did it anyway. I also added births, deaths, and other significant factoids concerning figures from real history that the Doctor actually meets or claims to have met over the course of his travels. The Broadsword website and the Doctor Who Reference Guide proved invaluable in finding additional information for the site, as was the Doctor Who Chronology. Images used are courtesy of The Doctor Who Image Archive (apparently no longer extant), The Doctor Who Picture Archive, and The Doctor Who Picture Page. Doctor Who: A Brief History of Time (Travel) and The Doctor Who Database and PhotoNovel Site came in very handy for images and storylines from the lost episodes. Police box info and images are from the Doctor Who Technical Manual and the Police Box site. Ofcourse, I couldn't have found any of these sites if not for The Web Guide to Doctor Who.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: For this i used information available at the Douglas Adams Collected Works Site.
Star Trek: The Michael and Denise Okuda's Star Trek Chronology: The History of the Future was the main source here, though I include less Trek history then I do Who history, since most of the episodes in each of the Trek series are set within a week or so of each other. (I also didn't want or intend to copy the entire book). I have included the most significant events from the "present" of each series, as well as siginificant events in the past of the Trek universe. None of the Trek novels are included for the simple fact that they are a compliment to the series (as oppossed to a continuation, like the Who novels) and often don't agree with the series continuity-wise. This is especially true of the older ones, which date as far back as the seventies. Too much work, even for this madness! Much information (but no images) were obtained from the Official Star Trek site owned and maintained by Paramount. Images used and additional info are courtesy of Mr. Video, Beavis and Duncan's Star Trek Site, Star Trek: The Next Generation Tribute Site, Crazy's Star Trek Gallery, The Staaar Trek Page, and Murray's Multimedia. All these sites were found via Star Trek WWW.
Anne Rice: The novels themselves are the main source here, with Katharine Ramsland's Vampire Companion and Mayfair Witches Companion lending a hand with the details. The Louis du Point duLac website was where I obtained the pics from the 1994 film of Interview With the Vampire (with apologies to those who don't share Anne's and my entusiasm for the movie). Information on individual characters in the Vampire Chronicles was obtained through Armand's Room and the excellent Anne Rice Central. Additional pics came from Anneke's Interview With the Vampire Site and also from Tom Cruise's Corner. All but the Cruise site were found through the Vampire Chronicles Online Resource Site. Those wanting to know more about Anne Rice and her characters and works are referred to her Official Site.
Quantum Leap: Information and pics from the series were obtained from The Accelarator Chamber.
Time Bandits: Dates taken from the movie itself, with additional information and images taken from the script-book and the Time Bandits page at the Monty Python site.
Highlander: The official Highlander site and Lothair's Highlander Site were my main sources.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer / Angel: Historical
data taken mainly from the series itself. Additional info and pics were
obtained from Mr. Video, Angel
Online, and Buffy
the Vampire Slayer FanSite.
Recommended are the official Buffy
and Angel sites
and the David Boreanaz
Picture Page.
The DC Universe ( Superman, Batman, et al): The DC Comics Official Website came in handy for obtaining the latest on its various characters. New Oa and The Book of Oa were a godsend for timeline info on Green Lantern in particular and the DC Universe in general. For Superman, Superboy, and Supergirl info, nothing beats Jose A. Perez's Superman, Then and Now. Images and info for Batman were obtained from The Batcave, The Dark Knight, The Batman Tribute Pages (Sixties series), Two-Face's Tower, the Ha-Hacienda, and Batman Revived. Images and info for Wonder Woman are courtesy of Amazing Amazon and The Wonder Woman Pages. An nice gif of John Wesley-Shipp from the nineties Flash t.v. series was obtained at the Flash Page. The Crisis on Infinite Earths page was very helpful in retconning the Golden and Silver Age histories with that in the current DC comics.
The Marvel Universe (Fantastic Four avd company): Marvel Comics' website was a good source. Info and images on the Fantastic Four were courtesy of the FF Web Project, the Fantastic Four page, Four Freedoms Plaza, while images from the 1993 movie are from Tek Pa's Fabulous Fantastic Four Site and Alex Hyde-White's official site. The X-Men Eye Candy site, Denmon.Net, and the Uncanny World of the X-Men were my source for images and info on the mighty mutants. For X-Men fans, I recommend both the official X-Men movie site (hint: Macromedia Flash with speakers on full) and Sir Ian McKellan's official site. Images from the movie were obtained from the Internet Movie Database.
"Real" History: Information and some images obtained through Encarda and Microsoft Bookshelf 98. Additional info from The People's Chronology and The Smithsonian Institute's Timeline of the Ancient World. An excellent online source for biographical data has been Pop (Sub)Culture. Some images from ancient Rome were obtained from the Gladiator page of the Maximum Russell Crowe site. Info and image of Marie Antoinette were obtained from Leah Marie Browne's excellent page on the Austro-French queen. John A. Hatcher's page was my source for an image of Glenda Jackson who, despite fine performances by Bette Davis, Judy Denche, and Kate Blanchet, will always be for me the definitive Elizabeth I. Images of Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra were obtained from Trivette's Tribute page to the actress.
Miscellaneous: Images from various historical movies and television programs were obtained through the Internet Movie Database. Space images are courtesy of the Hubble Space Telescope Picture site. Images of Fairuza Balk for both Dorothy and Anne Rice's Pandora were obtained here.
If I forgot anyone, and you see something here that belongs to you, please let me know so I can give credit where credit is due. Thanks.
