Near the end of Northwest Mansion Noir, right after the ghost turns Dipper to wood, a clock strikes midnight. A few minutes later, we are shown McGucket's countdown, which is at 21 hours and 30 minutes. This would place his event at a little after 9:30 pm.

Near the end of Not What He Seems, when Stan is waiting for gravity to fall so he can escape from police custody, he looks at the clock. It reads 8:45. But, the countdown on his watch is at 12 minutes. This would place his event at a little before 9:00.

If the continuity holds up, that means McGucket's countdown is NOT THE SAME as Stan's countdown. (Since the episode ended when it did, McGucket's countdown should have about half an hour left, which could factor into the plot of the next episode.) Ooohh awesome observation skills! If this is correct, then perhaps the author (Stan's twin brother) will be the cause of the apocalypse. 'Cause I pretty much assume that the imminent threat McGucket's laptop was referring to is something (or someone) that will come out of the portal. Just a wild guess...

Any ideas?
