View Full Version : Count down clock... Madge 09-16-2005, 01:13 PM Okay, I'm geeking out! I can't wait for the clock to say 4 days, 8 hours, 15 minutes, 16 seconds and maybe catch 23+ milliseconds. It's sad actually. Come on Season 2! You can't start soon enough! JAZZYJ 09-16-2005, 01:47 PM ain't that the truf waltisfuture 09-16-2005, 01:51 PM Meet you guys back here is less than 6 hours for the big number reveal Madge 09-16-2005, 05:28 PM It'll be exciting, won't it? (man, I need something to do!) Huskie 09-16-2005, 05:36 PM It'll be exciting, won't it? (man, I need something to do!) Before anyone gets too excited over the cursed numbers appearing in the countdown, I did not add anything for that time :( But you did have a great suggestion. Maybe next countdown ;) Madge 09-16-2005, 05:48 PM Oh, I didn't really expect anything to happen other then going "ooh looky! Neat!". But yeah, maybe next time there could be something fun. By the way, my "it'll be exciting" was just a bit sarcastic. wcb2 09-16-2005, 06:16 PM Um, by my calculations the countdown takes us to Wednesday @ 2AM Eastern Standard Time. What am I missing. Go easy on me if this is obvious to everyone else (Show airing in England at this time?? ) I just don't know... onenil 09-16-2005, 07:21 PM Um, by my calculations the countdown takes us to Wednesday @ 2AM Eastern Standard Time. What am I missing. Go easy on me if this is obvious to everyone else (Show airing in England at this time?? ) I just don't know... I'm confused, too. It can't be a countdown to the second season premier because it will run out 21 hours early! [Edit] Ooops! Never mind! Just found this thread: http://www.thefuselage.com/Threaded/showthread.php?p=492136#post492136 Distress Signal 09-16-2005, 07:25 PM Can't wait!!! By the way, does it start at 8 or 9 O' clock? I'm lazy and confused..... onenil 09-16-2005, 07:28 PM Can't wait!!! By the way, does it start at 8 or 9 O' clock? I'm lazy and confused..... 9pm EST. There is a 1 hour special at 8pm. Bescky 09-17-2005, 03:20 AM Here in Texas it'll be 8 p.m. catblue74 09-17-2005, 09:42 AM The clock actually counts down to midnight Tues the 20th, not to the actual airing of the premier.:biggrin: kitten_kath 09-17-2005, 09:44 AM Is anyone else actually mesmorised by this clock or am I the only weird one, lol :biggrin: Kitten. Bescky 09-17-2005, 01:18 PM Is anyone else actually mesmorised by this clock or am I the only weird one, lol :biggrin: Kitten. No you aren't the only one. Its very cool. It makes everything seem more surreal in a way. liz_lost_fan 09-17-2005, 01:22 PM lol, does staring at it for hours on end count?? lol Bescky 09-17-2005, 01:50 PM Well I believe so, yes. :p Quiksilver13oi 09-18-2005, 03:40 PM lol i think the countdown clock is just counting down to Wednesday not the actual episode time Huskie 09-19-2005, 10:49 AM lol i think the countdown clock is just counting down to Wednesday not the actual episode time Correct: http://www.thefuselage.com/Threaded/showpost.php?p=492345&postcount=5 JohnQPublic 09-19-2005, 11:47 AM Which is very true. Our time zone is somewhat decent, but kind of sucks. Everything here is put on a delay system. Those of you ont he east who see the show at 9PM (8 Central), get to see it a whole hour before us. Our stations all take the shows and play them an hour later to make our time zone work. On the bright side, 10PM news. On the downside, everyone on the forum is talking about this show while I'm watching it. :mad: lost_knight 09-19-2005, 03:10 PM Which is very true.

But I guess they did get to see season 2 episode 1 already. And they are right there where they film the show. And it is Hawaii. :biggrin: wcb2 09-19-2005, 05:17 PM On the downside, everyone on the forum is talking about this show while I'm watching it. :mad: Here on the West Coast, we see it 3 hours later, but I have managed to make "Lost" into an entire evening's entertainment, starting with listening in while the folks who are "watching live" on the East Coast describe & react to the ep, then watching the ep, then going on line and dissecting the ep with everyone here. Obviously, I need help for my obsession :biggrin: JohnQPublic 09-19-2005, 07:54 PM Oh, we all need help for this obsession. It's called Season 2. Now why the hell can't we find that in porcelain Mary dolls? sky_is_lost 09-20-2005, 10:49 AM you can be so lucky! german people must wait so long before season 2 starts :crybaby: liz_lost_fan 09-20-2005, 10:58 AM man, glad I don't live there anymore :D lol jk, just suck up to a friend in the US :D Madge 09-20-2005, 02:16 PM At least we're down to just hours and minutes now, very cool. rame339 09-20-2005, 03:43 PM Not really- the clock is only counting down to midnight, we still have over 24 hours, it's dumb b/c tomorrow at this time the countdown clock will be over...? sier 09-20-2005, 05:48 PM Not really- the clock is only counting down to midnight, we still have over 24 hours, it's dumb b/c tomorrow at this time the countdown clock will be over...? There is no other way to do it unless you sniff location and determine timezone, which is a little complicated for a countdown clock. Oddly enough, the logistics for something as seemingly simple as a countdown clock depend on when it has to end, and this varies from timezone to timezone. It's really the only wat it could be made without people complaining about it representing "eastern time only" or something to that effect. Madge 09-20-2005, 06:20 PM I don't mind it just counting down to Wednesday. If I don't see the clock anymore, it means I get to watch the new season that night. That works just fine. AnnieBW 09-20-2005, 11:14 PM It's now saying 1 hour 46 minutes. It's 10:13 EST on Tuesday night. Is it going by midnight on the 21st, or 9 PM EST? car88win 09-20-2005, 11:37 PM I think they got us on this one...think about it. What is the one question we all ask every week last season..................give - IS IT WEDNESDAY YET? Now we know. From the countdown. John_Locke 09-21-2005, 12:18 AM Pretty Funny... I liked that Countdown Feature... An error turned into a different countdown then everyone expected... so now when countdown was done it was 23:59 hrs to airing of season 2 Hondo 09-21-2005, 02:08 AM I logged in just as the countdown clock had four seconds left. And you know what? PREMIERE was misspelled. Ginge 09-21-2005, 03:02 AM Ahaha. The misspelling was the first thing I noticed, too. Premiere. John_Locke 09-21-2005, 03:07 AM yeah i noticed that one too... PREMIER.... sounded like a countdown for a foreign minister.

Thank you for explaining the logistics of this countdown clock :) Your are correct as this was the best solution to it. And yes. Premier was spelled like that ... by ******* , not me ;) I'm taking the 5TH |
