it isn't important to the story and all the other goings on in the show.. just seems like it's a fairly important aspect about the character(if in fact it's true)

but you're right.. if they mention something like that, then it would probably be even stranger to not spend a little bit of time going into explanations.. and that might've dragged things down

The timezone option should be available to everyone. Which browser are you using? Could you try a different browser (Firefox? Chrome?) and see if it is showing the same for you?
