Saga Timelines
Main info
There are a lot of discussions about the parallels in timetravel, conversions of (normal) space and other
explanations that have to do with paradoxes as shown in the movie. To much to think about... to many theories
about 'what is right' and 'what is wrong'. Too 'brainboggling' we would say. For now we've included several
timelines send in by fans from the official T3 forums, our own forum and several e-mails that have been sent
in. Sometime soon this timeline should be resampled into a more pleasing and acurate representation of all
possible timelines (to be announced).
