Time of the flashforward


I apologize if this has been brought up before.

The time of the flashforward is April 29th, sometime at night (I don't remember the exact time, but it was 8 or 9 pm, if not later)
So everyone's flashforwards they were doing something and it was night time...
Janis saw herself pregnant, getting a sonogram and finding out she's gonna have a girl. I just wanna know where the hell did she go get a sonogram at 8 or 9pm?
Lol I just though it was such an obvious mistake, I am surprised that no one else noticed.

The flashforward takes place at 10:00 p.m. April 29th, 2010.

It's not too much of a stretch to have a patient being accepted for a sonogram at that late hour (some doctors work the night shift too, you know)...

Must-Watch Fall TV:
Once Upon A Time (ABC) (10/10)
The Walking Dead (AMC) (10/10)
Grimm (NBC) (7/10)

Actually it did happen like that too, not just in her flash forward.

J.P. Monroe: Jesus Christ!
Pinhead: Not quite.

That struck me as odd too. I used to work in a Radiology department and no one got Sonograms at 10 p.m. Maybe a Sonographer could be called in late at night for a pregnant woman whose baby was potentially in danger, but a run-of-the-mill Sonogram at 10 p.m. to determine the sex of the baby was pretty unlikely.

I'm on episode 5 now and they just said the blackout happened at 2 a.m. in China I did a Google search to be sure and yeah. 10 p.m. in Los Angeles, where the Series takes place is apparently 1 p.m. in China according to Google. China is big, but I don't think its time zones span 11 hours, so that's impossible. I like the show, but it's hard to ignore some of these unlikely-hoods and blatant impossibilities.

When it finally happens on April the 29th it is a case of emergency for her !
